The field of EH&S has increasingly brought global sustainability into the fold. Management-level EH&S leaders are the environmental stewards of the corporate world, and are increasingly responsible for designing and implementing strategies to take companies beyond compliance. These initiatives involve tasks such as:
- Developing and leading a formal sustainability program
- Reporting progress on a full spectrum of EHS and sustainability initiatives to the public
- Responding to stakeholder inquiries about their company’s EHS and sustainability performance
