Utility Safety in Depth - ESG: Health and Safety Obstacle or Opportunity? - John Fischer, Duke Energy

The podcast highlights the growing influence of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors in the utility sector.  ESG goes beyond just financial performance, considering a company's environmental impact, social responsibility, and ethical practices. Investors are increasingly evaluating companies through this lens, pressuring utilities to focus on sustainability, worker safety, and good governance. Interestingly, safety practices themselves align well with ESG goals.  This means safety professionals have an opportunity to leverage ESG to advocate for better resources, promote sustainable safety programs, and demonstrate the value of safety in the bigger picture of ESG. By understanding this connection, safety professionals can play a key role in shaping a more sustainable and responsible future for the utility industry.   Read the article here - https://incident-prevention.com/blog/esg-health-and-safety-obstacle-or-opportunity/   You can read the current magazine at Incident Prevention Magazine.
