Enablon Expanding Sustainability Platform, Taking Marketshare in EHS.
Branding itself as a software supplier with a focus on sustainability management, Enablon (Chicago, IL) was a relatively early arrival on the sustainability scene. The company launched operations about 10 years ago focusing on the non-financial aspects of business management and recognizing that there were few, if any, companies providing an integrated approach to the control of environmental, social, and other non-financial risks. |

"The initial response to doing carbon management has been a defensive reaction - something that will impact a company's reputation as an organization and its value as a company," said Phil Tesler, CEO of Enablon. "The phase we're entering now is where it's really about energy efficiency, overall business efficiency and cost reduction." |

Complying with governmental regulations is a time-consuming task with lots of paperwork and plenty of manual workarounds. Still another layer of knowledge is necessary to ensure suppliers are in compliance with certain standards.
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) systems, which evolved out of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, address these compliance issues—plus quality, policy, and procedure management. GRC solutions assist users with internal audits and self-assessment tools, and building risk profiles for suppliers. |

It’s unthinkable to try to run the finance function of a global corporation with a handful of people, yet we often see CROs expected to manage their equally ubiquitous function with two or three people, a limited budget and information systems largely consisting of email and spreadsheets. Companies with limited resources, however, might find pursuing a full-scale CSR Marshall Plan out of the question. But savvy companies can do the next best thing: use IT as cost-effective enabler of enterprise-wide change. |

"We delegate data collection to 115 contributors (quality, HR, logistics…) who provide data for 32 countries, 12,000 stores and 450,000 people. We thus reduce our transportation impact by distributing 80% of products which are locally made. We have saved 7% in terms of energy and 9.3% in water. Now, we have to shift from passive reporting to active reporting, to set more ambitious objectives and to manage them." |

The solution will execute the calculations and contributors will retrieve information from a single source. All this information will be based on the same calculation formulas. Consequently, we will have the same results from the local site up to the entire group level” says Eric Vandeginste, Manager of the EHS reporting project at Saint-Gobain. |
