A new Concordia University-led study reveals that business leaders who experienced natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods or hurricanes during childhood tend to lead companies with significantly safer workplace outcomes in adulthood. By analyzing U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration injury data alongside biographical records of more than 500 S&P 1500 CEOs, researchers found that firms led by executives exposed to natural disasters early in life reported nearly 24 % fewer work-related injuries and illnesses compared with those run by CEOs without such experiences. The effect was strongest in companies with powerful CEOs and in sectors with weaker unions or high performance pressures, suggesting that early hardship may influence long-term safety priorities and decision-making.

The ways people interact with and view nature speak volumes as to how the Earth is treated, and the severity of environmental concerns rising makes what shapes people’s view of nature a pertinent topic. Understanding how and why people might be motivated to protect nature is no small feat. Researchers have been able to present a study on 745 Japanese participants using three types of nature’s value—intrinsic, relational, and instrumental—to categorize a method to fully appreciate what goes into the construction of a human’s relationship with nature.
