Introduction
Advancing welfare standards for all workers.
During peak construction, some 40,000 construction workers contributed to Expo 2020 Dubai. We see ensuring their health, safety, welfare and dignity as a social responsibility embedded in the goal of a sustainable Expo. Beyond stringent safety standards and fair work practices, this commitment extends to include worker villages that embrace diverse backgrounds, a first-of-its-kind emergency aid centre and worker celebration days that offer some much-needed rest and relaxation, all of which aim to support each individual holistically, offering them care on and off the clock. Expo 2020 is also paving the way for future events to improve their safety standards with a pioneering Worker Wellness Programme that harnesses wearable technology to measure health. All of these initiatives add up to honour the workers of today and tomorrow through world-class standards.
