EHS and Sustainability Governance System
Working with the Board committee with oversight of EHS and sustainability, as well as the CEO, company Presidents, CFO, General Counsel, and Vice President of EHS, we reviewed the EHS and sustainability governance system of a Fortune 500 company. The goal was to ensure that a robust governance system would drive top quartile performance. The review included:
- Board Committee Agenda Restructuring
- Goals and Metrics
- Assurance Letter Process
- Emerging Issues Analysis
- Comprehensive EHS and Sustainability Risk Assessment Process
- Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) Audit Program Redesign
