National Safety Council Accepting Submissions for 2012 Robert W. Campbell Award - Dec 01, 2011.
ITASCA, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The National Safety Council is inviting organizations from around the globe to apply for safety’s highest honor – the 2012 Robert W. Campbell Award. The Campbell Award is presented annually to an organization that integrates environmental, health and safety management into the very core of its business operations.
Integrating safety into business operations results in sustained
operational excellence. It also is critical to an organization’s triple bottom
line – people, planet and profit. Companies that demonstrate EHS and business
excellence are eligible to share their approach by applying for this
international honor.
“Campbell Award winners understand that making EHS an organizational
priority makes business sense,” said Janet Froetscher, president and CEO of
NSC. “Honorees develop case studies detailing their journeys and lessons
learned, which are shared in boardrooms and classrooms worldwide.”
Applications are now being accepted for the 2012 award. Organizations
can take a 10-question quiz at campbellaward.org/ready to
determine whether they are ready to apply for the Campbell Award and where they
are on their safety journey. More information can be found at campbellaward.org along with
application criteria. Final submittals must be postmarked by May 31,
2012.
Applicants undergo a rigorous review process conducted by an
international panel of experts in academia, government, labor and management,
who provide each applicant with feedback. Simply applying for the award provides
applicants with valuable insight to refine continuous improvement efforts.
The Campbell Award is named for Robert W. Campbell, an early safety
advocate and first president of NSC. The award is sponsored by NSC and
underwritten by ExxonMobil Foundation.
