Health Innovation Delivering Flourishing Lives on a Flourishing Planet
How health companies can support flourishing lives for all on a flourishing planet while avoiding emissions through an expanded innovation and sustainability.
It is time for a new generation of companies with a focus on contributing solutions that deliver flourishing lives for all on a flourishing planet. This leadership is needed as many companies still only approach the need for sustainability as a risk and compliance issue with focus on product substitution, rather than new systems.
Health is fundamental to human dignity, opportunity, and prosperity. Today, the health sector is one of the largest and most rapidly expanding sectors in the global economy. It employs more than 65 million people worldwide, nearly 10% of the global workforce, and accounts for a growing share of public and private spending. As populations age and societies aspire not just to survive but to flourish, the health sector’s role in shaping the future becomes increasingly central.
What if many of the best health solutions are also some of the best climate solutions? What if we manage to work with sector leaders so the health sector became a launchpad for recovery and rediscovery in support of flourishing lived, not just discharge?
We invite policymakers, innovators, and care professionals to explore an expanded innovation and sustainability agenda with Mölnlycke as a case.
- From incremental risk management → to transformative opportunity creation
- From treating illness → to enabling flourishing lives
- From product optimization → to systemic innovation ecosystems
- From carbon accounting → to avoided emissions and Flourishing Life-Years (FLYs)
- From hospital-based recovery → to active, creative, and connected living
