Sustainable global development goals cannot be achieved without businesses. Businesses play a crucial role in accelerating progress towards goals through their core operations, financial commitments, employee networks, consumer-facing platforms and high-level influences.<\/p>\n

Every business and every employee can make a vital contribution to creating a more peaceful, equitable and healthy future.<\/p>\n

As governments try to find solutions one after another to combat the pandemic and its effects, most businesses have succeeded in acting in the best interests of their employees and wider stakeholders. With the launch of vaccine programs, the opportunity to observe the power of private sector innovation combined with public sector investment has been seized. (SDG Goal 3 \u2013 Health and Well-being) Technological innovations brought by entrepreneurial solutions have enabled a large part of the population to continue working remotely while offices are closed. (Goal 8 \u2013 Decent Work and Economic Growth).<\/p>\n

With this increase in corporate stance and trust, there is an increasing interest and responsibility in the private sector. Increasingly, companies and CEOs are expected to lead societal change, rather than waiting for governments to legislate it. Following actions such as \u201c#MeToo and Black Lives Matter\u201d (Goal 5 \u2013 Gender Equality and Goal 10 \u2013 Reducing Inequalities), businesses can be held accountable by their customers and employees if their business practices do not align with the organizational values they say they believe in.<\/p>\n

Some of the world's largest and most influential companies, such as Google, Microsoft, Unilever, and Mastercard, have begun to use sustainable development goals (SDGs) not only as a corporate social responsibility tool, but also as a tool to shape their long-term strategic planning and vision. These companies develop strategies to \u201cdouble up\u201d their ambitious goal setting and sustainability commitments, even after major challenges in their operations.<\/p>\n

Psychological Health and Safety for Development Goals<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The SDGs are universal and mental health concerns every person. The need for interdisciplinary and intersectoral solutions is increasing in order to reach the SDGs, which offer a window of opportunity for mental health, as it is an area that is central to collaboration between sectors and professions.<\/p>\n

According to the latest estimates published by the ILO, 2.78 million workers die each year from occupational accidents and work-related diseases (2.4 million from disease), and an additional 374 million workers suffer non-fatal injury or conditions related to deterioration of health and well-being.<\/p>\n

Besides the economic cost, damage caused by occupational accidents and work-related diseases has an intangible cost that is not fully understood in these figures. It is important that relevant studies focus on this issue because, as research and practice have repeatedly shown, risks to health and safety can be largely avoided.<\/p>\n

The physical, mental, and social aspects of health are interrelated, and improvements in physical health affect mental health and vice versa. Examples include that low job control can lead to cardiovascular disease, and depression can increase not seeking treatment or experiencing loss of productivity. Mental health and psychosocial well-being are important for employee well-being, productivity and sustainability of the organization.<\/p>\n

\n

Psychosocial Risk Management<\/strong><\/p>\n

Risk management remains a fundamental requirement for the sustainable development of any organisation. The implementation of a management system mainly relies on identifying potential hazards, investigating the causes and associated dangerous elements to assess the level of risk, and then recommending preventive measures that can minimize and mitigate the consequences. A management process established for the management of psychosocial risks includes a socio-economic system that deals with the business and other issues in which the business context is located.<\/p>\n

In the context of occupational risks, psychosocial risks (PSR) are now recognized as the main problems of occupational health in organizations. In the face of increasing psychosocial risks and associated costs such as burnout, bullying or violence in the workplace, mental health problems have made psychosocial risk management a priority because of their serious economic and social consequences. Therefore, the organization must implement appropriate health and safety measures to provide a satisfactory working environment. Reducing these risks that employees are exposed to means addressing the psychosocial dimension of the sustainable development approach.<\/p>\n

It is stated that the Psychological Health and Safety in Occupational Health and Safety \u2013 Psychosocial Risk Management Guide published by ISO in 2021 contributes to the following sustainable development goals:<\/p>\n

3- Health and Well-Being<\/em><\/p>\n

Ensuring a healthy and quality life at all ages<\/p>\n

5- Gender Equality<\/em><\/p>\n

Achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls<\/p>\n

8- Decent Work and Economic Growth<\/em><\/p>\n

Promote stable, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all<\/p>\n

9- Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure<\/em><\/p>\n

Build resilient infrastructures, support inclusive and sustainable industrialization and strengthen innovation<\/p>\n

10- Reducing Inequalities<\/em><\/p>\n

Reducing inequalities within and between countries<\/p>\n

11- Sustainable Cities and Communities<\/em><\/p>\n

Making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable<\/p>\n

16- Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions<\/em><\/p>\n

Build peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, ensure access to justice for all, and create effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.<\/p>\n

\n

These targets, which are covered by the Psychosocial risk management systems applied for Psychological Health and Safety, include the well-being of employees, the production capacity and sustainability of enterprises; it also brings about progress for global development along with social welfare and equality.<\/p>\n
