A.U.G.E. was represented twice with persons at the a+a congress

The A.U.G.E. Institute was represented at the a+a Congress with presentations on "Sustainable Global Supply Chains" and "The Importance of Religion as a Supporting Factor for Safe Working".

Prof. Dr. Eigenstetter's presentation in the session "Sustainable Global Supply Chains" gave an overview of some important concepts on sustainability and CSR management. In addition, he located occupational health and safety along the companies' sphere of influence within the organization, but also outside the organization. Occupational health and safety and environmental protection have many synergies. However, environmental change and "green" technologies are also creating new hazards.

A.U.G.E. (Atma Jaya University) Indonesian doctoral student Ratri Benedictus spoke about the importance of religion as a support factor for safe work. Religiosity - when coupled with high fatalism - can lead to behaving unsafely. However, in the positive case - it conditions a high work ethic and thus leads to higher social compliance. In countries where religious practices play a major role in everyday and working life, they can therefore have a positive influence on the level of safety in occupational health and safety.
