Description

What’s good for people, is good for the planet and for profits!

This catchy phrase illustrates the growing impact health and safety aspects have on businesses and on society as a whole. As the impact expands, the responsibilities grow too – and, as a further consequence, the liabilities and criminal ramifications become more challenging. The session will focus on these interconnections, charting the course for management practices on how to avoid and minimise risks.
