The International Road Federation (IRF) convened key industry leaders to discuss "Action for Road Safety: Private Sector Leadership" on the occasion of the UN High-Level Meeting on Global Road Safety hosted in New York on 30th June and 1st July. The new Global Plan for the Decade of Action clearly spells out that saving millions of lives and avoiding an estimated 50 million serious injuries per year will require significant commitment and greater action from everyone, including that of the private sector. For the latter, road safety is no longer just a risk that can severely impact business, but a value and a key pillar of a vision that sees companies fully engaged with their employees and the communities in which they operate. "We have a golden opportunity to inspire a strong and renewed worldwide commitment to safer roads for all" said IRF president, M Anouar Benazzouz at the opening of the event which gathered - for the panel discussion - senior management representatives from 3M, Holcim, Michelin, and Unilever. |
