The mission
ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) is a critical issue for boards of directors and healthcare leaders across all sectors of our economy. The healthcare industry, the fifth-largest emitter of global carbon dioxide emissions, has a moral and financial imperative to demonstrate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) leadership.
Modern Healthcare Custom Media’s ESG: The New Imperative educational series and Summit will empower C-suite healthcare executives with the knowledge, insights and solutions they need to lead their organizations and communities in support of ESG and meet boardroom, financial and governmental demands.
Story topics
By reducing carbon emissions, the healthcare sector can both improve human health and reduce costs. Learn about pathways for decarbonizing this sector: the supply chain, health care delivery, health professional education, policy, financing and metrics.
Explore how forward-thinking healthcare organizations are leveraging assets and business decisions to offset the associated environmental and health burden of care delivery through green design and construction, regenerative building concepts, telemedicine, remote work and sourcing renewable energy.
Learn how to minimize the risk of supply chain disruption through supplier diversification and increase accountability and transparency from suppliers regarding social and environmental impacts throughout the product and service life cycle.
Climate change disproportionally impacts communities of color and low-income households. Explore expectations of the health care sector to support the U.S. greenhouse gas emissions 50% reduction goal by 2030 and mitigation of harmful effects of climate change for our most vulnerable communities.
As anchors of their communities, hospitals have a social contract with the communities they serve to do no harm and behave with integrity. Learn how health systems can grow their brand reputation by establishing a top-down governance strategy and corporate citizenship identity, inclusive of ESG disclosure reporting.
ESG Summit
The ESG Summit: The New Imperative provides an in-person forum for healthcare executives to convene for high-level education, discussion and collaboration in support of Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance.
This is an exclusive, invitation-only event that provides healthcare leaders and decision makers with a premier, exclusive opportunity to deepen their engagement and experience with their peers and sustainability experts and pioneers. Invited guests will include hospital and industry association CEOs, CFOs, COOs, Chief Procurement Officers, sustainability leaders (both from inside and outside the healthcare industry), DEI leaders and others.
ESG Webinars
Stakeholders’ increased focus on ESG will present immense business opportunities for organizations that position themselves to adapt to these shifting priorities. Health equity and sustainability are two areas in which healthcare organizations would be wise to invest, given their potential to impact the balance sheet. In the coming years, health equity outcome-related data will increasingly impact reimbursements, and policies from the executive branch and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will seek to ensure that healthcare organizations are doing their part to mitigate the climate crisis. Learn how these changes will impact your operations and your disclosure requirements, as well as how you can prepare.
