Environmental, Health and Safety Committee

Abstract

Environmental, health and safety (EH&S) issues are an important part of sustainability and a growing number of companies have implemented some form of board oversight of health and safety issues with most of them emphasizing aspects of the EH&S management systems established by the companies including compliance with company policies and related legislation and regulations. Companies have also established board level EH&S committees focusing on compliance with laws, regulations and standards; supply chain management; education and training; stakeholder engagement; transparency and disclosure; and monitoring and measuring the effectiveness of EH&S procedures.
