Abstract

The chapter presents the evolution of potential ESG risks in the healthcare sector related to striving to provide the best care for patients. Based on the literature and selected examples, the analysis of this problem will indicate potential risks of the main factors and tools that can help manage this risk in the healthcare sector. There is a research gap in the literature; there is a lack of detailed discussion and research allowing to establish the relationship between ESG factors and finances. Particular emphasis is placed on social pillar, which in the authors' opinion is critical to the functioning of the healthcare sector, especially from the face of COVID-19. The authors proposed a map to identify potential risk and possible scenarios of action in the long term. The main assumption of the study is that the implementation of ESG potential risk management leads in the long run to sustainable development in the healthcare sector.
