The dynamic role of an EH&S Leader in today’s world: ESG, Safety Culture, Sustainability, Technology & Data Insights

The ESG landscape continues to expand to include material impacts, risks, and opportunities to companies, society, and all stakeholders. Understanding materiality and the alignment between social and environmental is critical to a solid ESG strategy. Safety & Health being part of the woven fabric of your company culture is critical to sustaining low injury rates, ensuring employees remain healthy and well. Establishing goals, competencies, investment in talent, and cross functional engagement are key to creating a world-class program. The “H” is no longer silent.

Technology as an enabler of EHS and ESG is more important now than ever and this will only increase in the future. Understanding strategically your “technology stack”, your tools, and overall strategy will be critical to ensure investments are made that improve safety performance, environmental compliance, and overall ESG."

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised the awareness of respiratory protection in the general public, public health and industrial workplaces. This is leading to an unprecedented level of innovation to create respiratory protection equipment that is more built-for-purpose to enhance safety and productivity, and backed up by a much more robust supply chain than ever before. New developments at all levels of the supply chain will be discussed, from basic materials and air filters to disposable masks, reusable respirators and advanced powered respirators.
