�����DzԻ�ܱ����® is our approach to the health, safety and security of our people, the protection of the environment and the resilience of ��������. BeyondZero is so much more than a typical safety program. It’s helped us recognize and emphasize our whole selves, clearing the way for safety that encompasses the physical and emotional alongside the courage to raise our hands, speak up and stand down to create our Culture of Caring.

This year, BeyondZero is marking the 15-year anniversary of its launch – creating an opportunity for each of us to make an immediate and enduring commitment to contribute to our culture of work that’s healthy, safe and secure for our people and our planet. 

In celebration, we’re talking with some of the team members leading the efforts to extend BeyondZero beyond where we work and into our daily lives, so we’re able to create a safer and healthier future for our families and our communities.

In this feature, we’re talking with Joanne Caruso, who is our Chief Legal & Administrative Officer and BeyondZero executive sponsor.

Hi, Joanne. You’re one of the sponsors of BeyondZero. What does BeyondZero mean to you?

BeyondZero is about action, a way of thinking, doing and behaving, so that in all we do we are contributing to the safety, security and wellbeing of ourselves, each other, our communities and the environment.

How do you see BeyondZero supporting our strategy to boldly move the company forward?

Being and feeling safe, both physically and mentally, is a critical foundation for all of us to be able to perform at the highest levels.    If we can ensure that then we will all be more innovative, inclusive and productive – all things needed for ��������, and any company to achieve our strategy and move boldly forward.

What makes you most proud about our progress over the last 15 years?

BeyondZero has become part of our DNA; the way that BeyondZero has expanded and now encompasses so much more than physical safety to be a comprehensive Culture of Caring is not only unique but has truly improved lives and the way we operate and has been an instrumental factor in our success.    

How does BeyondZero influence your day-to-day actions as a leader?

BeyondZero is a big influence in my day-to-day actions. I am much more aware of my physical environment, as well as other internal and external forces that may be impacting the physical and/or wellbeing of our colleagues. I also always try to reflect the values of our Culture of Caring in all my interactions.
