Corporate
organizations play a significant role in ensuring the safety of their
employees, customers, and the community at large. Recognizing and rewarding
companies that demonstrate outstanding commitment to road safety not only
encourages best practices but also inspires others to prioritize safety
initiatives. According to the World Health Organization WHO, over 1.3 million
people are killed in road traffic crashes each year - more than 2 every minute
- representing the leading global cause of death among children and young
adults aged 5 - 29. Over 50M people are left injured.
Following the UN
Resolution on Improving Global Road Safety (UN GA 74/299), the AA Excellence in
road safety awards aim to help reduce fatalities and severe injuries caused by
road crashes. The initiative seeks to honor those businesses that go above and

comprehensive training programs, and impactful safety policies. In addition, they
celebrate the outstanding contributions made by all stakeholders towards
fostering safer roads.
