    Martini Klinik: Prostate Cancer Care 2019

    Michael E. Porter, Jens Deerberg-Wittram and Thomas W. Feeley

    Since its establishment in 2005, Hamburg’s Martini Klinik had single-mindedly focused on prostate cancer care with a commitment to measure long term health outcomes for every patient. A wholly owned subsidiary of the University Hospital Hamburg, Martini Klinik was a “hospital in a hospital” in close proximity to other medical departments and services. By 2019, Martini Klinik had become the largest prostate cancer treatment program in the world with 8,000 outpatient cases and more than 2,500 surgical cases annually. Patients came from all over Germany and from around the world. A new and expanded facility was under construction to have the capacity to manage more patients with prostate cancer.

    Where ESG Fails

    Michael E. Porter, George Serafeim and Mark Kramer

    We are entering a new stage of understanding of the linkage between investment performance and social impact. Previous approaches, such as socially responsible investing and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) screening, have obscured the opportunities for higher growth, profitability, and competitive advantage that come from creating shared value: addressing social and environmental issues as integral to a company’s core strategic positioning. A shared value approach to investing can deliver superior shareholder returns, but capturing that value will require very different practices on the part of both corporate leaders and investors.

    Keywords: ESG; sustainability; environment; social impact; impact investing; ESG (environmental, social, governance) performance; ESG reporting; shared value; Environmental Sustainability; Social Issues; Investment; Value; Strategy;
