2024 Duty of Care Awards & Summit
For the seventh year, the International SOS Foundation is thrilled to announce that we are now accepting entries for the 2024 Duty of Care Awards!
The Awards, which are free to enter, are open to organisations around the world, both large and small, to honour the investment and innovation in protecting the health, safety, security and wellbeing of their global workforce. We recognise organisations that fulfil their Duty of Care responsibilities by raising the standards of work conditions globally, improve people’s welfare and ultimately, help save lives.
Due to the impact of geopolitical tensions, civil unrest, environmental and economic pressures on global organisations, this year’s theme encompasses the focus on resilience and change in light of robust and challenging circumstances – Leading Change for a Re-Imagined Future.
The deadline for submissions is 30 April and winners will be announced during our live Duty of Care Summit & Awards taking place on 31 October at the Fullerton Hotel Sydney.
