SoFi and Environmental Management Systems
The primary benefit of an environmental management system (EMS) cited by many organizations is a more integrated and better organized environmental function and a tighter connection between environmental goal setting and program management. An EMS's integrated approach to environmental issues brings together personnel from a wide variety of responsibilities and departments to assess every aspect of their operations that can interact with the environment, uncovering new insights into how to drive continual improvement beyond compliance.
Our approach is to work with you to design and implement management systems that meet your own unique requirements. We have a firm grasp of the realities of managing sustainability, environmental, and health and safety issues, and have helped many organizations achieve ISO 14001 certification. To support this service line, we have created tools, programs and data-collection techniques that support the implementation of management systems and, in many cases, enhance their effectiveness.
Many of our customers find that an IT Tool is a critical supplement to a systematic management approach that allows them to leverage the power of organizational data to drive programs and support strategic decision making. While ISO certification is not required for an IT Tool, we often find that some elements of the strategic management approach are useful in both the roll out and adoption of the tool, as well as in utilizing the insight it provides to drive performance. We have performed IT Tool needs assessment projects for many clients, supporting their selection and implementation of an appropriate tool - we also have a tool of our own when that is the preferred solution.
Our corporate sustainability solution SoFi is a central sustainability information platform that transforms data from all corporate activities into meaningful performance information. It is a proven and mature solution that increases the efficiency of sustainability information management. SoFi standardizes data collection from different sources, reduces the need for manual data input and eliminates error or duplicate effort.
