Study Shows How EHS Technology Cuts Costs, Improves Efficiency

March 5th, 2009 Robert Johnson

It’s no secret that business decision makers believe the best way to survive the current economic morass is to ensure your organization executes the time-tested “do more with less” mantra.

In that same manner, investments in the environmental, safety, and social domain —including those that are IT-related— are being carefully scrutinized, even as companies take steps to minimize environmental risk exposure and ensure transparent sustainability to satisfy investor and stakeholder demands.

ESS has documented how companies are bridging the gap between streamlined sustainability and efficient EHS information technology in a newly-published white paper entitled, “Building Sustainability in Hard Times.”

The report reminds decision makers that there’s an inextricable link between driving sustainability and having the data management systems in place to measure and drive daily performance. Robust EHS information management has a proven track record for delivering increased efficiency and reduced costs even in a tough business environment.

“Building Sustainability in Hard Times” provides a detailed roadmap for implementing a technology solution that meets your organization’s needs and shows how to leverage EHS IT assets to generate benefits such as:

• Uncovering operational risks
• Robust baseline data to support strategic decisions
• Eliminating risks to an organization’s license to operate
• Supporting a solid climate change strategy
• Streamlining and reducing compliance costs

If you want to know more about leveraging EHS technology for a competitive advantage, I highly recommend you take a look at this outstanding report.
