Impact Spending
Impact Spending leverages Kaiser Permanente’s purchasing power to build healthy, equitable, and sustainable economies. We ensure Kaiser Permanente’s spending decisions are environmentally sound, economically viable, and socially equitable. We target spend in our communities to address economic and environmental disparities, ultimately creating positive health outcomes.
Food Brand Standards (formally Health Picks)
