ORC HSE’s EU Health, Safety and Environment Forum offers senior-level executives responsible for HSE programs at companies operating in the European Union the opportunity to network and communicate with their professional peers on critical issues regarding health, safety, and environment. Members ‒experienced HSE professionals who hold senior positions in their business units‒represent companies from a wide range of industries operating in the EU. Through sharing information and practical expertise, the EU Forum promotes effective HSE programs and practices in member companies’ European operations.
The Forum has forged strong working relationships with many European agencies, which are listed below. Twice yearly meetings held in Europe feature presentations by key EU officials and experts, facilitated discussions of current and emerging topics, and roundtable discussions focused on issues of concern to members. Discussions are candid and confidential; all members agree to honor a code of confidentiality, thus encouraging members to speak openly about their HSE challenges and successes. The Forum offers boundless opportunities for networking with peers who face similar challenges, and encourages the sharing of best practices and exchange of critical information. Members also benefit from free access to the ORC HSE Country Profiles Library, a proprietary resource that identifies HSE legislation, regulations, and enforcement policies in 60+ individual countries to assist multinationals in auditing their compliance with local requirements.
