Supporting Corporate Green, Sustainability and CSR Initiatives

With an increasingly intense focus on Corporate Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and concepts such as greening the supply chain, and running cleaner operations, companies are examining every phase of the product lifecycle. Companies are even moving beyond using green criteria, such as how much waste is generated or whether or not the products they use can be recycled. They are examining human health and habitat impacts, the quality of work conditions for employees and fair labor law. EH&S compliance solutions are a fundamental and critical corner stone to these initiatives. In order to withstand the public scrutiny now associated with these global trends, EH&S compliance needs to be measured, tracked, reported and improved.

As the regulatory landscape shifts its focus from merely being compliant to building a sustainable framework that promotes across-the-board compliance, 3E Company’s comprehensive suite of products and services enables EH&S professionals to more effectively manage the full spectrum of hazard communication and product stewardship requirements.

Informed decisions about the products you manufacture

The foundational core of Ariel™ products and services is the massive aggregation of global chemical and regulatory content that is delivered or accessed by the products and services within the Ariel EH&S Decision Support family and MSDgen®, 3E’s premier hazard communication software system. While this information helps ensure the products manufacturers produce are compliant with regulations, additional analysis can be conducted related to the toxicity of the substances and raw materials used in the manufacturing process. This all leads to greener, safer, less toxic production of their final products.

Providing a safer, greener workplace for your employees

3E’s suite of workplace safety compliance solutions not only helps ensure hazard communication compliance, our customers are leveraging our data and services to support sustainability efforts.

Tracking and managing your facilities’ chemical inventories using 3E tools is a highly effective way to ensure the materials used throughout your enterprise conform to corporate initiatives related to purchasing, storing, transporting, handling and disposing of safer, greener products. For companies in the process of implementing such initiatives, 3E’s tools enable the identification of products containing air/water pollutants, extremely hazardous substances or ozone depleting chemicals and thereby implement stringent approval processes prior to purchase or ban them altogether from future procurement.

For companies whose use of such products is unavoidable, 3E’s tools enable EH&S staff to conduct an evaluation and resulting toxic profile, per facility, that will enable them to make improvements and adjustments, such as additional training for certain sites, or localization of highly hazardous chemicals to fewer locations.

Minimizing the impact of an incident

Improper handling and storage of hazardous materials can result in a number of scenarios that can cause adverse effects to human and animal health as well as the environment. Failure to respond quickly to an unintended incident, such as a chemical spill or inhalation can turn a small incident into a larger one, increasing the impact of the event on the environment. Providing your employees with immediate, 24/7 access to the 3E EH&S Mission Control Center can significantly improve the final outcome. 3E’s highly trained technical staff, solely focused on responding to incidents, can ensure quick, decisive action in the event of an emergency.
