The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) can provide a useful framework to organise a company’s Sustainability & CSR efforts. With ESG (Environmental, Social, & Governance) performance becoming an increasingly critical metric for stakeholders, adherence to SDGs quantify business operations in a relevant manner.
Incoming President Joe Biden is set to radically overhaul the US Government’s attitude towards the environment. Chief among his proposed goals is a return to the Paris Agreement, which the US controversially quit as of November 2020.
Making environmental performance commitments – whether it be to achieve carbon neutrality by a certain date, or otherwise minimise impact on the environment – is in vogue for many businesses. The rising relevance of ESG, and interest in sustainability, has introduced tangible financial incentives for companies to improve environmental performance.
At Emex, we strive to provide the best in class for Health & Safety Management, Environmental Performance and Sustainability & ESG Reporting. Siloed data, inefficient workflow systems, and inadequate reporting expose businesses to unnecessary risk – Emex automates these complex processes to optimise business performance.
Whether employers like it or not, remote work is set to become a regular feature of employment. Forced by the closing of offices and other work environments, millions around the world have now been working from home for a considerable amount of time during lockdown.
Ventilation has been shown to be a key weapon in the fight against COVID-19, so now is the time for H&S consultants, FMs and building owners to work together to prepare buildings for people returning to work full time. Sara MacLean from MacLean Communications explains.

Emex, a leading EHS software provider, has today announced the release of an innovative COVID-19 solution to enable businesses and their employees to safely return to work. With over a decade of sector experience, Emex has taken proven EHS functionality and adapted the platform to aid businesses of all sizes in return to work initiatives.
We are now into lockdown 3.0 and businesses are still in the process of making plans to bring their employees back to work as safely as possible. Remote working is coming up on a year now for many businesses, and those employees continuing to work from home are waiting in anticipation for a date they can return to the workplace, as it’s a step on the path towards normality.
For many of us, work is a major part of our lives, it’s where we spend a lot of our time, how we get an income and build friendships. Having a fulfilling job is good for your general wellbeing and also your mental health. There are times where life gets on top of us, and often that can be work related, family related or just personal circumstances.
