There is a lot specifically just dealing with safety performance that must be addressed in the report; however, as you can see, it isn’t the only area of influence we have as SHE professionals
Provides overview of disclosures in the report.
Specific questions to be asked that relate to the index
FF / JB – interaction with key groups to show value in ESG of the organization: if we don’t have you in the center, someone else is going to be there
Need New PremiseCase Study You are the SH&E manager at XYZ company which is celebrating their recent marketing win – a contract to supply your product to Wal-Mart. This is a big win as the team has been wooing Wal-Mart for over a year with multiple visits to Bentonville, AR by the executive team. The conversations happening during this sales process have been focused on how much new volume and revenue are projected from this contract. No one on the sales team has put much focus on the operating conditions of working with Wal-Mart.As the SH&E manager you have not been in the sales process except for putting new dates and updating the Business Continuity Plan and safety programs especially around hazardous material use and handling. You’ve not been to Bentonville or have you had any contact with the Wal-Mart safety or sustainability team. This will be happening soon once the celebration moves to so how will we work with this new customer.You have not in the past been asked to gather information on greenhouse gases or other metrics related to sustainability. Now, Walmart is asking your company to complete the sustainability index. Your company knows your value to the organization, but isn’t sure SH&E is the appropriate point: this is your opportunity to step up.
Please break into groups of about five, but no more than 7. Pick a category on the sustainability index; Address these questions on the slide.
