Sustainable Development / Health and Safety

As a Global Union Federation with many members in some of the most hazardous and resource intense industries in the world, the ICEM takes its responsibilities very seriously. This is why the ICEM's health, safety and environmental work is grounded in a firm commitment to the greater sustainability of the companies employing our members.
Corporate Social Responsibilty (CSR) and corporate governance (CG) are frequently cited as appropriate indicators of a company's performance, and for this reason the ICEM insists that health, safety and environmental excellence must be among the key parameters on which company CSR and CG performance are judged. This is why the ICEM is committed to the creation and maintenance of healthy and safe workplaces in all of its industrial sectors, and to fully engage employers to this end.
