Sustainability

Sustainability is becoming one of the hottest topics of conversation. It’s not a surprise because the three pillars of sustainability are Social, Economic, and Environment. Companies are beginning to feel an increase in pressure from stakeholders to show more social responsibility in addition to financial viability.

The biggest problem with being able to report this information is the information resides in multiple business units. Social indicators most likely reside within HR and Marketing departments. Finance and purchasing provide a majority of the economic indicators and maintenance, operations, and EHS provide information for environmental indicators. Each department has their own system and even though some companies have created Sustainability departments, the amount of time and effort it takes to bring all this information together. The information has to be tracked down through meetings, phone calls, and e-mail. Once collected the information has to be combined and put into reports for publication. These typically require graphical views of data.

What you need is a single system that could sit on top of all of these multiple systems and bring in the data into a visible and reportable way. Your time could be spent running reports and putting together submissions. You would have everything in one place to have an instant snapshot of where you stand today versus your goals.

Ensure goals are reached through “real-time” analysis. Save time and money by integrating data into one central system. Ease reporting requirements.
