The Robert W. Campbell Award honours organizations like yours

The Award builds on internationally accepted EHS performance
measurements. Its ultimate goal is to capture and evaluate
EHS successes and share them as guidance for others.

Integrating EHS into business systems benefits
the worker and the community as well as the business itself.
The Award fosters the sharing of leading edge EHS systems
and best practices to improve lives worldwide.
Winning success stories will be shared and showcased at a
special awards banquet and at various EHS conferences, including
the National Safety Council's annual Congress & Expo.
Robert W. Campbell Award winners are recognized, not only for their approach to EHS management, but for their business leadership. EHS and business professionals and educational institutes worldwide use the published success stories as real-life, high profile examples for others to emulate.
We hope that you embrace the vision of improvement through sharing. With your involvement and contribution, we can work toward improved workplace and environmental conditions worldwide. Please join us.
