Executive Forum:

Beyond Engagement: Innovations for Sustainable Success

Presented by the Campbell Institute

World class performers in environmental, health, and safety know that engagement - of leaders and employees alike - is critical to sustainable success. Yet engagement is in many ways a starting point. On this foundation, true innovators build cultures of operational discipline; they develop new approaches to caring for the health and wellness of their employees as well as their organizations. Three top leaders from organizations with a history of EHS excellence share their stories and perspectives on how they’ve gone beyond engagement.

Workshop A: Living Safely

Comprehensive EHS Strategies On- and Off-the-Job

In this hands-on workshop, EHS leaders from these world-class organizations will share best practices and creative approaches used to protect their workers and communities both at work and at home. Join a group of your peers in exploring key issues, successes, and lessons learned, then take a deep dive into how to address the challenges you face day in and day out with practical, actionable solutions. Note: additional registration fee

Workshop B: Making Engagement Work

Strategies & Solutions in a Complex World

In this hands-on workshop, EHS leaders from these world-class organizations will share best practices in engaging leaders, employees, contractors, and communities. Join a group of your peers in exploring key issues, successes, and lessons learned, then take a deep dive into how to address the challenges you face day in and day out with practical, actionable solutions.
