The Role of Corporate Citizenship in Addressing Health Equity

The pandemic has shone a bright light on the issue of health inequity, which are unfair differences in human health based on demographic, social, economic, and geographic circumstances. It is a problem that is so longstanding and prevalent that many people may take it for granted. But it need not be so.

Corporate citizenship leaders are focusing on this issue as never before. They are considering how to go beyond the traditional role of corporate philanthropy in providing money to cure and treat diseases, help those in need get better medical care, and support better access to hospitals and other community-based health organizations. Today, corporate citizenship leaders are expanding their focus to consider other factors that drive health inequity, including environmental factors such as clean air and water, and social factors such as access to good nutrition.

This webcast will focus on how companies and their corporate citizenship leaders are working toward health equity to improve not just health care but health itself for everyone in society.

Join us to learn:

  • The causes of health inequity.
  • The multiple roles that business, and especially corporate citizenship functions, can play in reducing health inequity.
  • Ways that for-profit corporations can collaborate with government and non-profit organizations to improve the health ecosystem for the benefit of all.

Who should attend: Current and prospective board members of public and private companies; CEOs and C-suite executives; sustainability, DEI, corporate citizenship and communication and governance executives.
