93% said that they felt sustainability issues are critical to their companies’ future success.
96% believe that sustainability must be fully integrated into a company’s strategy and operations (up from 72% in 2007).
What impact could this have on SH&E professionals?

Case StudyIt is the middle of August and you are on site to conduct a safety visit in Shreveport, LA. The production is one big set and geared up for a month long schedule with mostly days but some night activity.
You are there to address these safety issue:• Heat Illness prevention & concerns• Minor stunts and some SPFX • Meet with the Producer on preproduction safety meetings,
location concerns and to address general safety and training of crew
While on the set you see the production is working to meet the productions standards on sustainability. In talking with the producer it is clear that having a green production is an important issue for her.
The safety portion of your visit on the first day reveals that the SPFX are getting ready and appear to be handled and under control. This gives you time to watch how things are working especially how the AD is handling the crew and the general vibe. Any questions yet?
Case StudyAlthough the Producer was passionate about sustainability you notice that the guidelines are being loosely followed. You know that the Producer has delegated this to her team and from what you see there is no way this will be considered a “sustainable production” with the current set up.
You have time available and you’ll be there anyways. So given this scenario pick one issue for your group to tackle and be prepared to report to us:
“What are the issues, what would you do and who would you speak with to help the Producer achieve a safe and sustainable production?”
•Reduction of disposable water bottles
•Bio-diesel generator, live electricity and power to set
•Catering and craft services
Role of the SH&E Professional Understand the goals and direction of the
organization – Assess if you are staying current in your skills?
Looking for opportunities to contribute to attaining these goals.
Willingness to apply safety skills OUTSIDE of safety i.e., sustainability efforts Expand your expertise and keep an eye out for
opportunity to help sustainability connect with your safety responsibilities.
