Mon doc est une retranscription des débats ayant eu lieu lors d'un séminaire d'entreprise. Le but étant d'évoquer les actions à entreprendre pour améliorer la communication interne/externe, répondre aux enjeux du développement durable etc. Le groupe opère dans les secteurs pharmaceutique et chimique.
Après une intervention en français (dont je n'ai pas le contenu, puisqu'il n'est pas à traduire), le débat reprend de cette manière :
I think it is an interesting question for Mr. XX himself. We had a very, very interesting discussion on that topic, the risk of hiding or not hiding, but being aggressive to show that we want to improve [...] I think it is a very good question for Mr XX. Where are we now with the people and what do we want to do in the future in terms of safety actions?
Je ne comprends pas ce que l'auteur peut bien vouloir dire (traduction assez urgente, pas le temps de demander des explications au client). Merci d'avance

,la tentation ou non de dissimulation d'incident, mais nous voulons montrer notre détermination à...
C'est du language parlé donc c'est un peu difficile sans plus de contexte. Mais dans mon expérience en biosecurité, l'un des problèmes majeurs en cas d'incident est la tentation de dissimulation de l'incident tant de la part de l'individu l'ayant causé que de celle des superviseurs de crainte des consequences. Je ne suis pas sur de comment le rendre mais suis assez convaincu qu'il s'agit de cela.
Hope this helps.

cacher ou non, montrer de façon agressive (les améliorations...)
'hiding or not what they want to improve' is my interpretation of this strange phrase

le risque, soit de se cacher, soit de ne pas se cacher, ...
mais au contraire d'agir d'une manière aggressive
Yes, Stéphanie, it is hard to see quite what the speaker is getting at!
I think s/he must be talking about the 2 opposing strategies, either of hiding and being I suppose defensive, or else of going out there all guns blazing and being offensive / aggressive.
What is less clear to me would be just what could be meant by 'hiding' in terms of safety or environmental policy...? Do they just mean 'do nothing, keep a low profile, and see what happens'?
It's hard to see what they can 'hide' — or whom...? So of course, it might not necessarily be 'SE cacher'...

I think jlsjr has made a very good point, and in that case, I can understand better: the risk would lie in hiding (an incident); alternatively, if you don't hide it, you need to be quite aggressive in being seen to take action to improve things...
In the light of this insight, clearly my own suggestion is wide of the mark.
