Health and safety is a universal human right, and the health, safety and wellbeing of our people is one of S&P Global’s top priorities. The company is committed to extending comprehensive benefits that support physical, financial, emotional and work-life wellness. When we take care of our people, we are investing in our success as a company.
Protecting the health and safety of our people, clients and other stakeholders is our primary consideration. We do this by focusing on building a safe and healthy work environment by training our people, enhancing their wellbeing through products and infrastructure, and relying on strong partnerships across internal teams to keep health and safety at the center of how we operate. We also have an annual report on our health and safety performance to senior management, to ensure accountability and oversight on our practices.
To support a safe and healthy work environment, the company maintains a rigorous management system. Our facilities worldwide follow internally and externally audited occupational health and safety policies in line with ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 standards. All of our office locations follow ISO 45001, with our London office formally certified in ISO 45001. Of our office area, 49% is covered by ISO 14001 standards.
These practices also support our goal of minimizing our environmental footprint by improving operational efficiencies. For additional information, please see our Global Health, Safety and Environmental Policy.
In 2022, the company continued to invest in Risk Management Plus software to help efficiently report and investigate any incidents that occur within our business. This tool enables us to document all aspects of an incident in accordance with local regulatory requirements and provides the opportunity to review corrective and preventive actions to help mitigate the risk of future occurrences.
Our goal is to prevent all work-related accidents and ensure the safety of our people worldwide. S&P Global experienced zero incidents in 2022.
We work to create a culture in which employees are expected to report incidents. To help reduce risk, we have also developed a new ergonomic training course that will be launched in 2023 to cover work both at home and in the office.

S&P Global provides colleagues with a comprehensive, competitive benefits package that includes a host of programs, resources and incentives to enable informed decisions and healthy lifestyles. Our global benefits differ from country to country, but specific offerings include flexible work environments and programs designed to promote our people’s physical, financial, mental and emotional health.
In line with our People First approach, colleagues are encouraged to share feedback to help shape our policies and initiatives across the globe. We continue to offer:
It is important that our people take the time out to care for themselves and their loved ones. Our Global Care Leave policy allows our people to take up to 10 days of paid leave per calendar year to care for a close relative or loved one who has a serious illness or health condition. Our Global Sick Leave policy provides a minimum of 10 paid business days for sick leave per calendar year for our people to rest and recuperate.
In 2022, we expanded our programs to further support our people and promote health and wellness. We added seven virtual fitness classes, for a total of 17 classes Monday through Friday. Our new Mindful Meditation program consists of five-minute breathing, meditation and light stretching sessions, led by meditation coaches and designed to help colleagues release stress and improve focus at work. We also launched Life Speak, a wellbeing video platform that provides access to the world’s leading experts on topics including mental health, preventative health, family issues, DEI and professional skills development.
