Abstract

This poster examines how companies are trying to balance employee health and safety with sustainable supply chain practices. In today’s world, many businesses are facing pressure to protect their workers while also reducing harm to the environment. Our group wanted to learn how companies are working toward these two goals at the same time, so we reviewed articles, reports, and case studies about companies like Amazon, Tesla, and Valmont. These companies are making changes by using automation to reduce injuries, offering better training, and using materials and systems that are safer for the planet. We also looked at how these companies are working with ethical suppliers and reducing carbon emissions in their supply chains. While progress has been made, there are still challenges, such as high costs, the need for new technology, and the time it takes to make these changes. Our research shows that companies can make real improvements in both safety and sustainability when they invest in the right strategies. Doing so not only helps workers and the environment but also builds a stronger and more trusted business.
