Key Takeaways

Safety Maturity Is a Journey – Not a Destination‍

Throughout the Summit, leaders emphasized the importance of evolving safety programs from reactive to predictive. Sessions explored how tools like the Safety Maturity Index (SMI) are helping organizations benchmark, improve visibility, and deepen supplier relationships.

Data-Driven Intelligence Is Shaping the Future of Work‍

From Avetta’s product roadmap to AI-powered insights, the future of contractor and supply chain management lies in connected platforms, real-time data, and smarter tools that reduce risk across the board. One standout innovation shared at the Summit was Audit Insights, a powerful enhancement that gives companies deeper visibility into contractor audit performance, identifies trends, and enables better, faster decision-making.

Confidence Beyond Compliance Is the New Standard

Industry leaders, including Lorraine Martin of the National Safety Council and Jennifer McNelly of ASSP, encouraged attendees to move beyond checklists and toward building cultures of accountability, care, and operational resilience.

Supplier Collaboration Is a Competitive Advantage‍

Sessions like Leading by Design and Avetta’s Commitment to the Supplier Experience reinforced that strong supplier relationships, combined with streamlined onboarding and API integration, unlock scalable compliance and stronger performance across geographies.

ESG and Safety Are No Longer Silos

Speakers shared how companies are embedding ESG goals and safety programs into broader business strategy. Whether in operations, procurement, or compliance, integrated thinking is critical to long-term success.
