3E Advantages

With the spotlight shining brightly on EH&S compliance, companies are challenged with finding effective ways to address the complexities and intricacies of EH&S compliance management. Not only do these challenges stem from a constantly-changing regulatory landscape, but also from a scarcity of newcomers to the EH&S field, and pressure on EH&S departments to manage increased responsibility with fewer resources. Addressing these issues requires broad and deep domain expertise—expertise that doesn’t always exist within the company. And if it does, this expertise is probably best utilized by driving the company’s overall compliance strategy, not bogged down with paperwork or the administrative burdens associated with maintaining compliance.

3E Company is a comprehensive, one-stop solution for content, tools, and services for companies that want to take effective leadership and control of their product stewardship and EH&S compliance activities. 3E's products and services help companies make the transition from simply managing for compliance, to cutting-edge product stewardship practices that deliver tangible and sustainable business results.

Full Lifecycle Management

3E Company’s products and services support compliance efforts, beginning with requirements in the R&D phase and manufacturing process (cradle) of such products, distribution and sales of the products, through the phase when products are used in the workplace or by consumers, through to the product’s final disposal (grave). Any company who manufactures, distributes, uses, stores, transports or disposes of such products needs access to information that will help them effectively comply with the various regulations. 3E Company can help during any, or all, phases of the chemical product lifecycle.

Why should you care?

Maybe you don’t need all that. Maybe you just need an MSDS for every chemical in your workplace. That’s great! 3E made a name for itself by providing the industry’s leading MSDS management solutions. Our solutions are flexible and modular, providing as little or as much assistance as you deem necessary.

It really becomes a question of quality and trust. Just how much knowledge does your vendor possess and provide about the manufacturing, distribution, use and disposal of hazardous materials and chemicals (full lifecycle management)? Wouldn’t you want to work with a company whose own employees:

• Maintain active relationships with tens of thousands of manufacturers, not which just randomly collects documents and throws them into a database?
• Gather, maintain and understand the global legislation and regulatory data that is required for effective compliance?
• Maintain direct, active relationships with the governmental bodies that create legislation and regulatory requirements?
• Have the professional skills necessary to author MSDS's?
• Are accessible 24-7-365 and know how to interpret the MSDS and can provide advice or access to medical professionals in the event of an emergency?
• Can help your company ensure compliant product shipments?
• Understand what needs to happen if a chemical spills, from proper cleanup to responsible disposal?

Most solution providers take a narrow approach, providing assistance only in very specific areas of compliance, such as vendor MSDS management, emergency response or chemical regulatory data services. 3E Company offers the broadest solution set for product stewardship compliance challenges, and can tailor modular solutions to individual customers to meet their unique needs. Customers have the flexibility to adopt additional 3E solutions at their own pace while realizing the benefits of having a single solution provider meet multiple critical compliance requirements.
