India's Multidisciplinary & Cross Sector Forum on Environment, Health, Safety & Sustainability

Theme: Landscape of EHS&S in Indian Industry

Environment, Health, Safety & Sustainability (EHS&S) is now a top priority for Indian businesses of all sizes. Growing awareness, need to comply with legislative and organizational requirements and increasing integration of the function with sustainability is leading to a structural evolution, and consequently, more complex risks, in the function.

Today EHS&S leaders are rethinking their strategy and approaches towards managing the function. The revived strategies require leveraging data-driven and predictive technologies to move towards proactive risk identification and mitigation from reactive safety measures. Additionally, EHS, with its growing overlap with sustainability management, need for reducing environmental impact, changes in users’ processes, and promote safety at workplace have manifested the risks, leading to transformation in risk management.
