NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avetta®, the leading provider of supply chain risk management (SCRM) software, today concluded its North America Avetta Summit Series event in Nashville, Tennessee by announcing the company’s participation in the Intersociety Forum (ISF).

Joining the ISF in protecting workers and driving successful businesses

At the event, Avetta pledged its support for the ISF’s occupational health, safety and environmental core principles, which are designed to better protect workers and serve as a foundation of economic competitiveness. Those principles are:

“We believe improving the safety and protecting the health of workers isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do,” said Arshad Matin, President, CEO and Board Member at Avetta. “Safe, well-supported workers are the foundation of operational excellence, innovation and long-term growth. By joining the ISF, we’re reinforcing our commitment to advancing workplace safety as both a moral imperative and a strategic advantage for companies.”

Avetta is the first technology company to join the ISF and unites with its partners the American Society of Safety Professionals and the National Safety Council as members of the coalition. Select other members include the Agricultural Safety and Health Council of America, the American Industrial Hygiene Association, the Board of Certified Safety Professionals, the National Electrical Contractors Association and the National Environmental Health Association.
