EHS Management

EHS Management

ERM provides solutions that integrate EHS compliance, ESG commitments and business performance to enable sustainable operations. We help organizations strengthen their EHS management programs so they can be the foundation for risk management, sustainability performance and value creation.

A shifting context for EHS Management

Operational leaders need to deliver commercial objectives while complying with an ever-expanding mass of EHS and ESG regulations. Maintaining confidence in compliance depends on translating regulations into clear, relevant and operationally actionable content that targets real risks.

Erosion of institutional knowledge and intellectual capital has led to blinds spots on key areas of EHS risk management at corporate and asset levels. Heightened focus on ESG at C-suite level has led to under-funding for EHS resourcing and innovation.

EHS organizational structures, hierarchies and resource allocations need to be recalibrated to current day risks and competency needs. Unintegrated tools and manual processes have led to sub-optimal uses of resources and more risks of error.

Inconsistencies between ESG and EHS data put into the public domain exacerbates compliance risks and greenwashing concerns. Lack of data governance and inconsistent data quality can lead to unreliable data being used for decision-making.

Achieve stronger outcomes from EHS management programs with greater standardization, integration and automation.

Evolve to next-gen management systems

ERM helps organizations uncover potential areas of suboptimal EHS performance and implement program improvements. We support clients in diagnosing and recalibrating their EHS management systems to ensure they continue to mitigate the most pressing risks.

Develop leadership and team competencies

Organizations need to invest in developing leadership capabilities and equipping EHS teams with the right knowledge and skills. ERM conducts training and supports programs that leverage and engage the entire EHS organization to accomplish its objectives.

Harness technology for efficiency

The landscape of EHS and ESG software is crowded and confusing. Our experts help organizations select the right stack of technologies to solve real problems. We accelerate deployment, simplify integration, enable automation, cascade change and maximize user-adoption.
