Times have changed in EHS&S. Top professionals used to receive scant attention, inside or outside of their organizations, unless something went wrong.  A regulatory violation, chemical spill or worker safety issue resulted in plenty of negative press but there was seldom coverage for a job well done.

Today, however, senior executives are eager to spotlight progress because they know that EHS&S performance is a key factor in their company’s ability to reach its operational and financial goals. More and more companies are actively seeking opportunities to demonstrate their leadership on this front.
