Another report, you ask? As healthcare professionals, you may be wondering about the merits of producing a sustainability report, especially those organizations already publishing annual and/or community benefit reports.
Faced with finite natural resources, changing legislation, concerns over quality and safety, supply chain risks, and heightened public expectations for corporate accountability, tune in to this interactive Webinar to hear from Dignity Health and Johnson & Johnson why measuring, managing and reporting on environmental, social and governance impacts make their organizations more responsive to a transforming business environment and increased stakeholder demands.

And, Johnson & Johnson has been a long-time GRI reporter and has published more than 15 sustainability reports over the years.
