This book applies Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) to issues of sustainable development in healthcare. ESG reporting has been widely used for some time in the business Industry to show the economic, social and environmental responsibilities of companies that aim to achieve superior ESG performance for lower risk, more accountability and transparency. Moreover, public-listed companies in healthcare are growing in significant numbers in recent years. The application or practice of ESG in healthcare has become a growing trend for these large organisations looking to demonstrate their strengths in areas of financing, operations, sustainability and social responsibilities. Such an approach is essential not only for the long-term development of the companies, but also for services delivered by healthcare practitioners. Equally, the implications to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 is relevant to healthcare worldwide with a growing ageing population, which has led to great burden of care in many countries, particularly in the public sector. The potential development and expansion in private healthcare services, accelerated by technology advancement, has demanded a new paradigm in the healthcare industry, particularly in business, service delivery and policy. The book examines this paradigm through Health in All Policies, ESG and SDG 3 objectives, research, training, and practice. It is relevant to graduate students and scholars working in areas relating to health, business and the SDGs, and is also useful to policymakers, and practitioners in healthcare.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書將環境、社會和公司治理(ESG)的概念應用於可持續發展在醫療保健領域的議題上。ESG報告在商業界已經被廣泛使用了一段時間,用於展示企業在經濟、社會和環境責任方面的表現,以實現更低風險、更高透明度和更多問責制。此外,近年來,上市的醫療保健公司數量也在大幅增長。在這些大型組織中,應用或實踐ESG已成為一種日益增長的趨勢,以展示其在融資、運營、可持續性和社會責任等方面的優勢。這種方法不僅對公司的長期發展至關重要,也對醫療保健從業人員提供的服務至關重要。同樣,隨著全球人口老齡化問題日益嚴重,對可持續發展目標(SDG)3的影響對全球醫療保健至關重要,這在許多國家特別是公共部門造成了巨大的護理負擔。私人醫療保健服務的潛在發展和擴展,加上技術進步的推動,要求醫療保健行業在業務、服務交付和政策方面建立一個新的範式。本書通過「全政策健康」、ESG和SDG 3目標、研究、培訓和實踐來探討這一範式。本書對於從事與健康、商業和SDGs相關領域的研究生和學者非常相關,同時也對政策制定者和醫療保健從業人員有很大的實用價值。
