Recent projects

In 2019, we have worked with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on supporting a holistic framework focused on the role and impact of companies on the health and well-being of their employees and stakeholders.

Building a culture of health for business

Thanks to the 2019 project, developed by a group of leading companies, non-profits and academia in the United States, organizations can now incorporate the Culture of Health for Business disclosures into their sustainability reporting, which can be mapped to the GRI Standards.
