EHS Summit North America 2024 | Verdantix | 6 November 2024 | The Westin Buckhead Atlanta, 3391 Peachtree Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30326, USA

Environment, Health and Safety functions make a huge and varied impact on organizations’ overall performance and resilience. Depending on the firm, the function might be taking on diverse sets of compliance and risk objectives, addressing topics including safety culture, environmental compliance, ergonomics, ESG reporting, decarbonization, employee mental health and much more.

To address these concerns. It will be a timely event to attend: you’ll be gaining insight as next year's compliance, risk and performance objectives are being finalized and the 2024 US presidential election result is being factored into overall corporate decision-making.

The two-track event has an emphasis on seniority and innovation. We expect to gather 150+ EHS leaders; including a diverse set of corporations, solution providers and the Verdantix EHS analysts who have been researching key EHS priorities.

Our event is structured so you can address your key EHS issues:
• Main stage sessions throughout the event will help with overarching EHS strategy, focusing on designing strong management systems, improving culture, the role of artificial intelligence, managing contractors, addressing worker wellbeing, integrating EHS with quality and sustainability and the challenges caused by the globalization of operations.
• The day one tracked sessions will focus on solutions, innovation and technologies that support with issues such as ergonomics, chemical management, process safety, ESG reporting and environmental compliance.
• The day two tracked sessions will focus on EHS sectoral challenges and case studies, including investigating best practice for training, product compliance, SIF prevention and water-use.
