The theme of this year’s conference, “Resilient Futures: Reimagining HSE for a Rapidly Changing World,” reflects both a necessity and a mindset. Around the globe, industries are grappling with climate-linked extremes, geopolitical shifts, supply chain fragilities, workforce evolution, and the accelerating force of digital disruption. In this landscape, resilience is not merely a defensive posture—it is a strategic differentiator, a driver of innovation, and a blueprint for long-term sustainability.

Resilience today demands more than robust systems; it demands adaptive thinking, informed decision-making, and collaboration at scale. HSE leaders are now stewards of organizational transformation, architects of sustainable growth, and catalysts for change that protects people, preserves the planet, and strengthens prosperity.

India’s rise as a global industrial powerhouse, its commitment to Viksit Bharat 2047, and its leadership in clean energy and sustainability make it the ideal backdrop for this dialogue. Our diverse industries—energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, chemicals, mining, transport, and more—offer a microcosm of global challenges and an incredible canvas for breakthrough solutions.

Across these two days, we will deep dive into the evolving contours of risk, the transformative potential of AI and digital HSE, the imperatives of climate resilience, the integration of HSE with ESG, and the human-centered leadership required to build cultures of safety and responsibility. We will explore best practices from around the world, showcase pioneering case studies, and chart pathways that enable organizations to navigate uncertainty with confidence and clarity.

As we embark on this collective journey, let us remember that resilience is not built in isolation. It grows through shared learnings, bold experimentation, purposeful collaboration, and an unwavering commitment to safeguarding lives and creating lasting value.

Let this edition of TRANSFORM HSE be a catalyst—one that strengthens our resolve, expands our imagination, and equips us to build Resilient Futures where every individual thrives, every organization endures, and every generation inherits a safer, more sustainable world.

Welcome to TRANSFORM HSE 2026.

Let us reimagine the future—together.
