At a time when technology and sustainable development are reshaping the business landscape, Occupational Health & Safety is no longer merely a regulatory obligation but is evolving into a strategic driver of resilience, productivity and responsible leadership.
In his interview with Fortune Greece and journalist Melina Papageorgiou, GEP General Manager Alexandros Sofianopoulos discusses the new era of Occupational Health & Safety and the shift from risk management towards a culture of Safety Conscience.
As he points out, safety is no longer viewed as an obligation but as an internalized value and a daily mindset embedded in organizational culture. At the same time, technology and Artificial Intelligence are acting as catalysts for prevention through data, prediction and early intervention, enabling more effective risk identification and management.
The shift from a compliance-driven approach to a truly people-centered approach to Health & Safety is a critical indicator of organizational maturity, supporting sustainable growth and creating long-term value for both people and businesses.
