Human-centred safety and ESG consulting designed for the realities of modern work.

Beyond Compliance

Today’s workplaces are more complex, connected, and fast-moving than ever, yet many safety programs remain built around compliance and reporting rather than how work is actually done.

 

Kanna Solutions works with organizations to strengthen safety and ESG performance through human-centred, systems-based approaches. By combining modern safety thinking with real operational insight, we focus on real conditions, real pressures, and real decisions, working alongside leaders and frontline teams to embed safety into daily work and achieve practical, lasting improvement.

Industrial Refinery Landscape

Comprehensive safety and risk management, grounded in real work

What makes our approach different

Every engagement is collaborative and context-specific, ensuring solutions fit your people, your work, and the pressures you actually face.
We start with inquiry rather than assumptions, taking time to understand how work actually happens and where real risk exists within your operations.
Our work focuses on serious harm and high-risk activities, helping teams prioritize the hazards that matter most rather than relying on surface-level metrics.
We integrate safety, sustainability, and wellbeing so organizations can meet ESG expectations while strengthening real operational performance.
We design safety systems that recognize people as capable, adaptable, and essential to safe outcomes, not as problems to be controlled.
Our experience spans frontline operations, executive leadership, and board-level risk conversations, allowing us to connect strategy with practice.
