#23 World Day for Safety and Health at Work – The Drivers of Business Success

28 April 2025
Good Health and safety performance requires a positive health and safety culture. This is not a nice-to-have - it’s about protecting and saving lives, making projects sustainable and delivering long-term value to your employees and customers. Yet we are still seeing a lack of consideration being given to the importance of Health and safety.

That’s why, at PIDG, we have developed a good practice note (GPN), in collaboration with British International Investment, to propose a framework that helps leaders develop and foster a positive H&S culture. Titled ‘Developing and Sustaining a Positive Occupational Health and Safety Culture,’ the practical guidance is now publicly available.

In a special episode marking World Day for Safety and Health At Work, we delve into the GPN to discuss the urgent need to improve occupational health and safety, outline case studies from our respective portfolios – projects which have made transformational changes to their business by implementing robust HSES strategies – and explore the essential principles that underpin good OHS performance.

Tune in for a conversation with:

Dr Emily Wood, Global Head of Health Safety Environment and Social (HSES) at PIDG.

Ezgi Kiris, Manager, Environment and Social at British International Investment (BII).

Your host is Marcel Klebba, Communications Manager at PIDG.
