2018 DUTY OF CARE AWARDS SHORTLIST ANNOUNCED
London
Winners to be announced on 17th May in Chicago
With entries from NGOs to airlines, educational institutions to global corporate programmes, the International SOS Foundation 2018 Duty of Care Awards shortlist is revealed today. This year’s theme for the awards is Empowering Sustainability & Resilience and attracted over 35% more entries than last year, from 42 countries and 59 sectors. The awards honour best practices in mitigating travel, health and security risks for workers crossing borders or posted in challenging or fragile locations.
Laurent Fourier, Director of the International SOS Foundation, comments, “We are greatly encouraged in our endeavours to further the Duty of Care agenda. We have seen a significant increase in interest and entries in our third year running these prestigious awards. This reflects a growing global drive to improve practices across sectors. ‘Sustainability’ is one of the three new categories year, and it has been one of the most popular. Year on year, organisations are raising the bar in Duty of Care initiatives. Whether protecting a global workforce of business travellers or workers offshore or in remote locations, our panel of judges1 have been very impressed with the high level of expertise and commitment to strategic implementation.”
The winners of the 2018 Duty of Care Awards will be announced at a ceremony during a Gala Dinner in Chicago on 17 May 2018. To learn more visit www.dutyofcareawards.org.
