GWO 2018 Stakeholder Survey

GWO 2018 Stakeholder Survey

A short survey of GWO members and stakeholders June 2018

Why our stakeholders matter Jakob Lau Holst – CEO

Welcome to our Stakeholder Report, reviewing in brief the results of our 2018 Stakeholder Survey. GWO could not function without the dedication of its stakeholder community. In 2017-2018, 130 people contributed directly to the development of GWO Standards, Training Criteria, GWO China Committee, WINDA and the expansion of a global network of certified training providers. We asked them what they think about GWO. Why do they get involved? Are GWO standards keeping workers safe and helping the industry stay competitive? In this report you’ll find out a little of what the current thinking is on some of those key questions. There are always more questions than answers, so please keep your feedback coming in.
