    About Us

Commitment to the community & ESG

To promote access to health care services, well-being and security for every patient and caregiver, we support extraordinary caring with a commitment to environmental sustainability, social responsibility and principled business practices.

In every single thing we do, we seek to do good

ESG is a priority

With leadership and insight from the Governance Committee of our Board of Trustees, Atlantic Health’s 20,000+ dedicated team members have rallied behind and are invested in our commitment to ESG. We continue to develop and shape our innovative program called Community of Care. 

ESG at a glance

ESG is a framework for evaluating an enterprise’s performance with regard to socially desirable impacts or results. The initials stand for "environmental, social, governance,” which are the three pillars of the framework. At the most basic level, the desired outcome for the environmental pillar is sustainability; for social, it is equity; and for governance, integrity.

 

Why ESG? Why now?

We live in a hyper-connected world, and our actions can and often do have a far-reaching impact. We should all want that impact to be positive. ESG has always been in our DNA. We recognize that we all live on the same planet, we all want to be valued, and we all want to trust our institutions, especially the institutions that care for us. That’s why ESG is a priority. It’s not a legal obligation for us. It’s a choice to do the right thing in all things.
