Vision Zero Fund High Level Forum - 2021 and Beyond: Collective Action for Safe and Healthy Supply Chains
The inaugural Vision Zero Fund High-Level Forum brought together 18.000+ representatives of governments, employers, workers organizations and other stakeholders to discuss, evaluate, and reach consensus on effective and innovative approaches to advancing toward the goal of achieving zero fatal work-related accidents and severe injuries and diseases in global supply chains.
The COVID-19 pandemic has focused the world’s attention on the importance of ensuring that effective occupational safety and health systems are in place to protect all workers and to avoid the disruption of global supply chains.
The High-Level Forum addressed current challenges and opportunities for progress, highlighting the Vision Zero Fund’s work across sectors and supply chains to date, with an emphasis on what we all can learn from our achievements, challenges, and future plans.
