International SOS Foundation to host ‘2024 Duty of Care Awards & Summit’ to highlight best
practices in ensuring employee well-being and safety

29 May 2024: The International SOS Foundation has launched its 2024 Duty of Care Awards &
Summit, which will take place on 31 October 2024 in Sydney, Australia.

The event gathers leading experts to discuss, debate, and share best practices while honouring
organisations and individuals around the world for their dedication to protecting the health,
safety, security, and wellbeing of their global workforce. As the acceleration of a changing risk
environment continues to impact the ability of organisations to manage the resilience of their
people and operations, the Awards’ theme remains – Leading Change for a Re-Imagined Future.

This year’s Duty of Care Summit will feature industry-leading experts to discuss topics such as
AI, Climate Resilience, Geopolitical Instability, Workplace Violence, Diversity & Inclusion in the
Workplace, Mental Health & Wellbeing, Travel & Mobility Trends and more.

With employees being the cornerstone of any successful business, their well-being and safety is
the top priority for organisations across the world. For instance, the Middle East, which is
emerging as a leading hub for global businesses and fostering innovation, has attributed higher
significance to upholding the Duty of Care responsibilities. As a crucial element of operational
success and resilience, businesses in the UAE and the larger Middle East are progressively
implementing measures to guarantee the health, safety, and well-being of their workforce.

Since 2016, the Awards have recognised outstanding organisations and individuals ranging from
large technology conglomerates, and non-profit organisations, to airlines, financial services, and
manufacturing companies.

There are six award categories: Duty of Care Ambassador (individual contributor), Environmental,
Social and Corporate Governance (ESG), Inclusion & Diversity, Innovation and two brand new
categories, Crisis Agility & Response and Workplace Wellbeing. The Awards will be evaluated
by a panel of sector-leading expert judges* and a host of internationally recognised
organisations. Our shortlist will be announced by July 2024 with winners announced live at the
Awards on 31 October in Sydney.
