Defining and conceptualising the commercial determinants of health

Although commercial entities can contribute positively to health and society there
is growing evidence that the products and practices of some commercial actors—notably
the largest transnational corporations—are responsible for escalating rates of avoidable
ill health, planetary damage, and social and health inequity; these problems are increasingly
referred to as the commercial determinants of health. The climate emergency, the non-communicable
disease epidemic, and that just four industry sectors (ie, tobacco, ultra-processed
food, fossil fuel, and alcohol) already account for at least a third of global deaths
illustrate the scale and huge economic cost of the problem.
