Time to Act on Climate and Health - SOM Paper

Posted by Ann Caluori | Tue, 14/06/2022 - 12:47

 

Occupational health has a key role to support ESG factors (Environment, Social, and Governance).

 

This paper, The Future of Work, Health, Wellbeing and Sustainability: Time to Act on Climate and Health prepared by Dr Fiona Adshead, will be presented at the SOM/FOM conference, taking place 22nd-24th June in Edinburgh.

 

The paper is designed to answer two questions:

  • What would good sustainable work look like, both for organisations and individuals?
  • How do we design actions on health and climate into our everyday decisions and seize the moment to make common cause and accelerate action, whilst not detracting from the importance of wellbeing as a leadership challenge?

Many organisations have had to change their business and operating model to ensure more sustainable products and services.

 

Occupational health is a key part of the transformation towards a green economy and can assist with accelerating this change.
