“We are deeply honoured to be included on Fortune’s Change the World list,” said Zahid Salman, president and CEO of GreenShield.
“This achievement reflects our dedication to improving health outcomes, driving systemic change and fostering a healthier, more equitable society. As a non-profit, our social mission has been our driving force for nearly 70 years and this recognition further validates our efforts.”

“Our unique CSV model intertwines purpose, passion and performance to make GreenShield a stronger force for good,” said Mandy Mail, executive vice president of GreenShield Cares.
