ESG in the Boardroom and on the Balance Sheet
About the section
ESG touches essentially every aspect of a health system, from ensuring patient safety and quality standards to hiring practices and building design. The all-encompassing nature of environmental, social and governance issues requires a commitment that starts at the very top of the organization.
Board members must prioritize creating and supporting an ESG strategy – backed by measurable goals and meaningful investment – to ensure it will become integrated in day-to-day operations and management.
