Why VISION ZERO now?

Economic losses due to workplace accidents

Every day, 6300 people die from workplace accidents or work-related diseases, amounting to more than 230 million deaths each year.
Additionally, 3 million accidents occur in the workplace every year. The human costs of these daily misfortunes are enormous, and the economic burden of poor occupational safety and health practices is equivalent to 1700% of the world's gross domestic product each year (International Labor Organization website report).

Avoiding corporate risks and increasing value

Creating a safe and healthy working environment and conditions protects the physical and mental health balance of employees, who are a company's most important asset, improves motivation, and creates decent work.
This helps companies avoid risk, improves product quality and services, increases customer satisfaction, and increases corporate value, creating a virtuous cycle that is a major benefit to society, the economy, and business.

◆ VISION ZERO creates economic benefits.

Economic benefits of investing in safety and health

International studies on the ROI (return on investment) of preventive measures have proven that for every dollar invested in safety and health, an economic return of more than $1 is generated, resulting in a positive impact on business.

Promoting VISION ZERO through top management's commitment and "leadership"

Improving safety, health and well-being in the working environment through VISION ZERO does not necessarily have to involve costs.

It is important that leaders, beginning with the top management, recognize the importance of this and create an atmosphere of trust that allows for open communication.
