Who We Are

GSC is a health benefits provider. But, as a social enterprise we are more than what we do. Working to make it easier for people to live their healthiest lives is central to who we are.

As a leader in the health benefits industry, we are structured into three core lines of business: group and individual health benefits, and third-party administration solutions.
What they all have in common is they support and strengthen GSC by offering new ways to serve and connect with clients.

A health benefits provider 

In 1957, pharmacist Bill Wilkinson saw many Canadians struggling to afford the medication they needed &mdash; so he stepped up to help, founding what would become Green Shield Canada.
Bill&rsquo;s drive to find &ldquo;a better way&rdquo; is still at the heart of our mission as a social enterprise, and our focus on giving back.

Doing the right thing. It’s in our DNA.

In other words, this is why GSC exists. Our purpose represents the core values and beliefs that are behind everything we do, and that inspire us to continue working toward making a positive impact on the lives of Canadians.

Making it easier for people to live their healthiest lives

Our vision statement describes the future that GSC hopes to create. In other words, it’s our destination. It serves as a beacon that helps us see beyond our day-to-day activities and connect with our ultimate goal.

A sustainable future for health & well-being across communities we serve

Our mission is GSC’s vision in action — like a road to our destination. The mission describes how our organization will drive a strategic path toward the future we want to create, and ensures we stay focused on doing what matters.

Delivering meaningful solutions to improve health and well-being

As a social enterprise, we are unique. We make a difference by putting our client's needs first, positioning our people for success, and committing to a culture of excellence, innovation, and agility. Not only do we follow our values here at GSC, we believe in them.

Living our values in everything we do

At GSC, our social impact strategy is at the centre of what we do. Every day, we work to deliver meaningful solutions to improve the health and well-being of all Canadians.
