Abstract
Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting is important for organizations as it enhances transparency, improves risk management, and builds trust with stakeholders. ESG reporting today is a priority as organizations showcase their commitment to responsible business conduct and investment, and mitigate potential environmental and social risks. Organizations including within the mining sector are keen to identify and implement sustainable practices. The ESG movement including capital markets is challenging organizations to deliver on their environmental and social obligations and economic commitments while mitigating risks of injury and illness for workers. The Total Worker Health® (TWH®) approach provides a framework and content that overlaps with ESG and this presents opportunities to collaborate, pool resources, and advance both areas. Occupational Environmental Safety and Health is a driver for ESG, and Human Capital is an important element of ESG as is disease prevention and well-being. Several TWH aspects align with ESG efforts including Sustainable Development and Corporate and Social Responsibility, and the ESG framework is relevant to the TWH approach. This session will examine the intersection of TWH and ESG and potential partnerships to be explored and possibly pursued. An overview of TWH will be provided along with available useful references and tools.
