How we make a difference
Activate 2028 - a strategy for everyone
One person dying because of work is a tragedy – 7,500 a day is a travesty. Yet an estimated 2.78 million people still die every year due to work-related illnesses and accidents.
We’ve developed Activate 2028 with this figure in sharp focus.
