ESG - Social - Occupational Health and Safety

Within the social dimension of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) constitutes a critical component. With the increasing global focus on sustainable development, regulatory bodies are increasingly inclined to establish mandatory ESG disclosure rules to ensure that enterprises consider social and environmental impacts, including occupational health and safety, in their operations. Robust OHS management helps companies prevent accidents and occupational diseases, reduce potential legal and financial risks, and simultaneously enhance operational efficiency and employee job satisfaction.
