Today is Clean Air Day an initiative of Global Action Plan, an international network with national and regional member organisations around the world. Their ethos is that small changes to the choices we make every day make a big difference when widely adopted.
Acting on air pollution will have tangible positive benefits to people’s health and the environment immediately, so proactive corporate action is needed now to ensure the air we breathe is cleaner and better for us and future generations.
Companies that consider how their business is contributing to adverse air pollution will be asserting their corporate responsibility to respect the right to a clean and healthy environment. By pursuing a clean air agenda, companies can deliver on several sustainability, stakeholder engagement, and HR objectives. As employers, companies, large and small, have a duty of care to the health and safety of their employees while at work. This includes the air their workers breathe, especially, indoor air, and with its wide-ranging capabilities, including the ability to integrate a vast amount of sensing devices, the BEMS industry is ideally placed to support this goal.
