Environmental Social Governance
ESG integrates the dual aims of environmental stewardship and a just social mission, with governance over both.
- Demonstrating a commitment to ESG may help workforce recruitment efforts, especially among younger generations.
- For organizations considering new debt issuance, an ESG commitment may attract a broader pool of investors.
- Disclosure of ESG data aligns with the mission-driven, community-centered focus of not-for-profit healthcare.
- A leadership position on ESG issues may enable the organization to help shape emerging disclosure standards.
