The Special Issue (SI) we envision, therefore, seeks (1) to revisit the study of leadership at the intersection of business and society, both conceptually and empirically, and (2) to advance knowledge about how and under what conditions organizational leaders address selected GSCs’ impact on society, which then affects their responsibility as change agents, activists, stewards and through other roles.
The Special Issue intends to open a place for advancing the discussion of the role of business in tackling health challenges and the impact of business on the health of all relevant stakeholders including employees, consumers, and communities.

Third, the Special Issue will offer research opportunities and interdisciplinary insights in the business-health literature along with some recommendations for an interdisciplinary approach to the literature.
