Mission

The Healthy Business Coalition's mission was to build a community of cross-sector leaders to create communications and tools that drive interest and investment in health and wellbeing across value chains.

Strategy for Impact

HBC reimagined how business can invest in health along the value chain, by: 

  • Convening a community of cross-sector leaders, we help executives and managers transform their organizations into healthy businesses. 

  • Mapping good practices and creating tools for companies to drive positive health outcomes and address the social determinants of health.

Impacts: SDGs 8, 11

How it Worked

HBC was a collaborative initiative among BSR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and leading companies.
