Some pioneering companies recognized these win–win opportunities, establishing and continuing to benefit from long-standing initiatives with principles similar to shared value, but under the banner of different names. The global consumer products company PepsiCo implemented its Performance with Purpose strategy more than a decade ago to carry out its vision of strong long-term financial performance by integrating social and environmental sustainability into its

This is despite opportunities for all companies to positively impact health through at least one if not several of the following domains: their core products and services, their employees, and the communities in which they operate and have a consumer base. Although limited, the examples of companies outside of the health sector that are focusing on health through shared value creation are notable.

Companies Can Positively Impact the Health of Communities While the evidence base linking corporate benefits to investments in effective workplace health promotion strategies is growing, there is also a case for business investments in community and population health, particularly in the communities where they operate and maintain a consumer base. Poor health negatively impacts companies as increased health care costs for their workforce reduce profits, and increased out-of-pocket health expenses diminish the purchasing power of their consumers.

Companies Can Positively Impact Health Through Their Core Products and Services While companies can positively impact health and improve their performance through investments in effective workplace health promotion strategies and community initiatives, companies additionally can promote health and prevent disease and injury through the direct and indirect impacts of their core products and services. Companies outside of the health sector with products and services that influence health, such as food, beverage, and tobacco companies, have the potential for significant impacts on health by focusing on health-promoting rather than healthharming products and services.

The matrix is not intended to be an exhausted compilation of all potential opportunities for companies to improve health, but rather illustrative of current and potential opportunities for companies to improve health globally by identifying where shared value opportunities could potentially be realized based on their core products and services and an analysis of impacts and opportunities across their value chain. Based on the background and evidence summarized in this paper, participants at the workshop and the broader business and health sectors are challenged to consider the following:
