N2 - This chapter briefly introduces the contents of the book. The United Nations developed 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to promote sustainable development in the global community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, SDG 3: good health and well-being has gained the most concern due to its direct association with public health. Sustainable development is usually reflected in the business industry as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practice. The public and private sectors in the healthcare industry are both responsible for achieving sustainable development. This book will discuss ESG and sustainable development in healthcare from six perspectives: (i) ESG in the business industry, (ii) the realisation of SDG 3, (iii) value creation of ESG in the healthcare industry, (iv) contemporary development in the business of healthcare, (v) the promotion of ESG to stakeholder groups, and (vi) recent trends in education and research related to ESG and sustainability. This book complements sustainability-related studies and has some highlights that are discussed in the body text.
