Fundamentals of the Future: Adding an H to ESG

Just before the Covid-19 pandemic hit, 10 years on from a landmark review by University College London’s Sir Michael Marmot’s into health inequalities in England, the Institute of Health Equity published a follow-up report exploring just how closely health and life expectancy are tied to socioeconomic position and the conditions in which people live and work. Some of the findings were bleak, underlining that health inequalities had worsened over the preceding decade.

In this panel discussion from EG's recent ESG Breakfast Briefing, our guests explored the role real estate and the built environment have in addressing these worsening inequalities.
