About these resources
This resource hub, developed by Local Health and Global Profits (LHGP) and C21PH, is a curated collection of commercial determinants of health (CDoH) tools, frameworks and evidence. Representing diverse perspectives and approaches to addressing CDoH, these resources may not align with LHGP's or C21PH's specific policy stances and their inclusion reflects our commitment to facilitating broad learning and practice sharing rather than endorsing particular organisations or viewpoints.
These resources are divided into key topic areas, including commercial determinants of health (general), fossil fuels, food and gambling.
