The recently released MIT Sloan Management Review study showed that while most companies (92%) are addressing sustainability in some way, most companies don't have a clear idea of where to start. Those who do pursue sustainability aggressively, however, are seeing positive effects on their bottom line.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) will hold a national research workshop, Making Green Jobs Safe: Integrating worker health and safety into sustainability, on Dec. 14 – 16, 2009, in Washington, D.C., according to a recent NIOSH press announcement. The purpose of the workshop is to stimulate and begin planning national research to help make worker health and safety an integral component of the new green economy.
