Abstract

This chapter aims to provide an integrated perspective on the relationship between employees' health and safety and sustainable leadership (SL) and on the measurement of company performance in terms of employees' health and safety, according to the international standard—the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards. This work consists of two parts. The first part reviews the extant literature on the intertwining of health and safety issues with other issues—and, in particular, with sustainable leadership. The chapter utilises the SL foundation practices of Avery and Bergsteiner's model to propose an original model that connects SL practices with policies and practices regarding workers' health and safety, according to a measurement system—The International GRI Standards. The second part focuses on a business case which has validated the proposed model. This work can thus serve as a corporate reporting suggestion of employee health and safety initiatives, examined in a broader view of SL and corporate social responsibility.
