About the webinar
Join ERM for a sector-specific webinar focused on how poor management of Health & Safety (H&S) risks can erode value and increase costs across financial portfolios.
Learn how poor H&S performance can lead to:
- Reduced employee engagement, lower retention, and difficulty attracting talent
- Heightened reputational risk, legal exposure, and rising insurance premiums
- Deal execution challenges and barriers to fundraising and exit
As societal expectations evolve and ESG pressures grow, H&S is no longer just a compliance issue—it's a material business risk. Severe incidents post-acquisition, investor scrutiny, and shifting norms are placing H&S firmly on the radar for investors and asset managers. Gain insights into how investors can:
• Assess H&S risks throughout the investment lifecycle
• Understand rising intolerance for workplace harm and its business consequences
• Identify opportunities to improve performance and drive long-term value
Key Topics:
• H&S and Process Safety Due Diligence
• Post-Deal H&S Risk Review
• Roadmap for Performance Improvement
