In Bergen, the focus was on climate change and its impact. Dr. Kikki Kleiven, renowned Director at the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research, delivered a compelling presentation on the far-reaching consequences of climate change. Kleiven highlighted the rising sea levels, extreme heat waves, and their implications for global ecosystems, food supply, and public health. The event underscored the urgent need for action to address climate change and the crucial role that companies like Odfjell can play in mitigating its effects.
To address soaring temperatures, Odfjell Singapore organized a series of activities, including an informative presentation by General Manager Zaidi Mohd on how climate change impacts Singapore, and a lively Kahoot quiz on safety. Employees were also treated to a 'Beat the Heat' care pack, equipping them with essentials like SPF 50 sunblock spray and USB-powered fans to stay cool in the heat.
In Manila, the Odfjell team took a creative approach to promoting safety by hosting an online bingo event. Participants raced against the clock to complete their bingo cards, snapping selfies with each sustainable item on their bingo cards to prove that they indeed have it in their homes. Congratulations to the quick and creative winners, whose commitment to safety and fun made the event a resounding success!
The Global Safety Day celebration in Sao Paulo took on a vibrant twist with a nod to Brazil's Green April tradition. Employees donned green attire as a symbol of their dedication to workplace safety. The highlight of the event was a special lunch where everyone gathered to reflect on the importance of safety and health in the workplace.
With these events, Odfjell shore teams demonstrated dedication to safety and well-being on Global Safety Day 2024. As the world grapples with evolving challenges, these initiatives serve as a testament to Odfjell's commitment to prioritizing safety in the workplace and beyond.
