The international Robert W. Campbell Award honors companies that achieve business excellence by integrating EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) management into their business operations. Built upon scientific evaluation, the Campbell Award uses an evidence-based case study approach to transform the landscape of EHS worldwide. To promote integrated management systems and educate leaders across national and cultural borders, Campbell Awards are shared through the twenty-two Global Partner network.

The goal of the Campbell Award is to educate leaders about the value of EHS to the triple bottom line through evidence-based case studies.

History and mission

The award is named after Robert W. Campbell, an early 20th-century pioneer in the safety movement of the United States and the first president of the National Safety Council. Campbell recognized the humanitarian benefit of safety, but realized that there were also economic benefits of EHS. He believed that striking a balance between these would convince a larger audience of how safety serves as the basis for the ideals of the Campbell Award. [1]

The award seeks to "collect and highlight the best examples of safety, health, and environmental management in successful business management worldwide." [1]

Based on reviewer evaluations, award finalists are selected. On-site assessments at finalists' headquarters and operations sites are then conducted by a team of assessors, and after further evaluation, winner(s) are named. Objective and confidential feedback is provided to each applicant.

Winners of the Robert W. Campbell Award are announced at the annual National Safety Council Congress & Expo. Winning submittals are showcased by Award Global Partners at EHS, business, and leadership conferences and events around the world.

These case studies have been utilized in business and engineering schools worldwide. Currently, two Robert W. Campbell Award Business Case Studies have been produced and five are in development.
