INTEGRATING ESG PRINCIPLES FOR SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL HEALTHCARE: AN ANALYSIS OF BEST PRACTICES

Abstract

The healthcare industry, as a key factor in ensuring human well-being, is increasingly subject to scrutiny for compliance with environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) principles. Our study focuses on the ten most influential documents on ESG in healthcare, selected based on citations in Scopus. As part of a comparative analysis, we examine various scientific publications to understand how ESG integration can contribute to the sustainable development of the healthcare sector, contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By comparing best practices, we identify the impact of ESG principles on the industry's marketing and financial performance
