Pathway to a sustainable future

Sustainability is becoming a key part of the future of health and safety. With this in mind, we're looking forward to hearing from Dr Saleh Ali Albalushi, Vice President of Health, Safety, and Environment at Drydocks World, at Intersec 2025 Dubai. Dr Saleh will present on: "Navigating sustainability: from policy to practice."

Drydocks World, located in Dubai, recognises that true sustainability is more than just environmental concerns. Their strategy is built on four areas.

• Human: focusing on the well-being and development of employees and communities.
• Social: promoting social equity and community engagement.
• Economic: ensuring economic viability and growth.
• Environmental: minimising environmental impact and promoting ecological balance.

Sustainability at Drydocks World is not an after-thought but a core component of their decision-making process. They clearly align their initiatives with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This ensures that their efforts contribute to global sustainability targets.

Drydocks World’s commitment to sustainability is part of their forward-thinking approach and dedication to creating a better future. Dr Saleh's presentation will offer insights on how businesses can navigate the complex journey from policy to practice in sustainability.

You can hear from Dr Saleh as part of the IOSH Middle East Conference on the safety and health stage at Intersec 2025 Dubai. We are welcoming a series of speakers and experts on 14 January 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (Hall 7).

There will be an opportunity to meet with IOSH President Kelly Nicoll, Chief Executive Vanessa Harwood-Whitcher and committee members of the IOSH Oman, Qatar and UAE branches.
