With its inherent social mission, reliance on trust, and global value chains, the healthcare industry is uniquely positioned—and increasingly expected—to lead on sustainability.
At the same time, geopolitical and trade tensions, evolving regulatory expectations, rapid advances in digital and AI technologies, and the growing health impacts of climate change are reshaping risk, cost structures, and the competitive landscape across the sector.
Healthcare companies that embed patient perspectives into decision-making, integrate human rights across operations and supply chains, responsibly harness the promise of AI, build climate resilience, and future-proof treatment, device, and service portfolios to meet evolving patient needs are better equipped to manage disruption, protect long-term value, and meet rising expectations from regulators, investors, patients, and society.
BSR partners with leading healthcare companies, including pharmaceuticals and generics, biotechnology, life sciences, medical devices, healthcare delivery, insurance, distribution and retail, integrated managed care organizations, and consumer health, to translate sustainability challenges into strategic and operational actions. Through advancing norms, developing practical tools, and co-creating innovative solutions, BSR helps healthcare leaders strengthen resilience, and deliver long-term value for business, patients, and society.
