Key Points Question Do large health care organizations participate in the business trend to report on sustainability activities? Findings In this cohort study of 49 large US health care organizations appearing on 2015 or 2016 lists of the largest US corporations (Fortune 500, S&P 500, Forbes 100 Largest Charities, Largest State Employers, and largest health care systems by facilities owned), 50% of Fortune 500, 33% of S&P 500, and 12% of all health care corporations published a sustainability report compared with 78% of Fortune 500 and 82% of S&P 500 corporations. Meaning Sustainability reporting would provide health care organizations with an incentive to quantify and reduce their environmental impact, reduce operating costs, and enhance protection of human health.
