Developing an Effective Multi-Year EHS Strategy
In this Q&A, Chris discusses the importance of multi-year strategies, the common challenges leaders face, and what attendees will take away from his session.
Why is this FORUM24 session important?
Every EHS and Sustainability leader – from site level through corporate executive – should be able to develop, communicate, and execute a multi-year strategy that aligns to the greater business objectives, mission, and values. But it’s hard to know where to start, so this session will help attendees by providing examples of how to design and communicate an EHS strategy.
What are common challenges?
Creating a multi-year strategy can be daunting. The result is often a fancy action plan. Action plans and multi-year EHS strategies are very different, and we will explore that difference.
What are you looking forward to most about your session?
For me, it is always about sharing and learning. I have had the opportunity to learn from the best leaders before me through the annual NAEM Forum. This session will provide several examples of how an EHS strategy is designed, built, and communicated within a business, using some practical examples.
Even though my view is just one example, I hope to help attendees who are struggling with the concept of a multi-year strategic plan bring back the knowledge and willingness to try it in their own businesses.
What will people who attend your session walk away with?
Attendees will leave the session with a better understanding of what a multi-year EHS or Sustainability strategic plan looks like, how to create one, and how to communicate one with their business. They will also hear how three panelists have implemented strategic plans and the results they’ve achieved. Practical tools and real-world examples are always helpful.
At the end of the day, I hope this session helps each of us grow as leaders in EHS and Sustainability and that the Forum sessions, collectively, influence the next set of leaders to continue to innovate in EHS and Sustainability management.
