The suite helps one integrate chemical compliance information, collecting energy data in real-time and uphold regulatory requirements with one source of truth.
SAP EHS Management: Environmental Compliance
This solution helps alleviate expenses and risks of environmental compliance for both single facilities and global operations. It ensures reducing a company’s carbon footprint to a great extent. The environmental compliance suite can transform to meet day-today operational requirements successfully at the plant and the corporate levels.

It helps eliminate hazards by actively assessing and mitigating risks, establishing control systems for staff, site and tasks, and ensuring the delivery of timely safety information and communication. This also helps bring down overall expenses and aggravates productivity.
SAP Sustainability Performance Management
With the great sustainability tracking metrics and measures of this innovative solution one can analyze impact and drive performances at optimal costs. Firms can easily automate data collection for credible reporting, and also enhance business performance by mapping strategic goals, gaining deep organizational insight, reducing costs and increasing returns. Thus, sustainability is a major driver and not a stand-alone report effect. The accountability and transparency created helps fortify one’s brand.
Product Safety
Product Safety enables firms to safely and compliantly produce, label, package, store, use, transport product while also disposing dangerous goods and materials, without causing roadblocks in everyday operations. This is done in a safe way – keeping in mind the environment as well as workers and customers. By conducting comprehensive substance volume tracking and registration checks one can help in meeting requirements and compliances.
Product and REACH Compliance
Product and REACH compliance software helps meet ongoing compliance by the implementation of product-related legal, safety, and sustainability regulations along the supply chain. It thus secures a firm’s right to produce and market the product. These set of solutions also protect revenue by addressing product and material requirements for REACH, RoHS, and others. It brings down compliance costs with automated processes and aids in driving controls and reducing risks with integrated compliance data and improved internal communication. One can consequently rely on credible information to gain visibility into material, part and product compliance.
While it’s imperative to keep business practices within compliance of industry set standards to help insure a healthy and safe environment, it’s equally important that you manage risk and incident possibility within your own organization. Many of the guidelines that are in place to keep you up to standard par on compliance goals are set with a holistic view of an industry. However, these standards are not a one-size-fits-all type of arrangement when it comes to how your operation actually runs. Those that want to stay in business have to actively engage in putting their day-to-day organizational workflow under the microscope in order to maintain a sustainable business entity. You have to continually and confidently assess workplace safety as a potential (and serious) source, affecting the bottom line and the well-being of your workforce and other applicable business assets.
SAP EHS software puts you in position to go beyond compliance and enable a safer and more efficient operative workplace:
- Proactively identify operational risks, take corrective action, and use the insights gained to prevent costly incidents and accidents with our enterprise risk management software
- Confidently identify and reduce risks that can harm people, production assets, and the environment
- Consistently comply with regulations and implement EHS management system standards and requirements
- Establish and enforce operating controls and safety measures to prevent adverse events
- Reduce the cost of compliance and boost productivity across global operations
An unwillingness to accept risk and incident management plan from the top down can incite:
- Poor visibility and a reactive approach to managing safety and risk
- Ineffective employee training, certification, and competency verification
- Delayed recognition of warning signs of abnormal operations
- Outdated procedures and poor knowledge transfer when procedures are updated
- Lack of company-wide prevention of incidents and exposures, with no continuous improvement in risk reduction
- A false sense of security across the enterprise
If you can make your people and operations safer, your company will perform better over the long term. Safety and productivity go hand in hand. The challenge is to operate in a way that aligns with your organization’s risk tolerance priorities and helps you achieve business performance targets while reducing potentially harmful incidents before they land a solid blow to the financial and overall integrity of the organization.
In summation:
Safe operations start with ensuring that all incidents are reported – even near misses and observations of unsafe acts or conditions. This requires not only a supportive safety culture but also the tools to make reporting easy. Leading companies track all incidents – all types and severity levels. They use this data to detect failures in their safety systems and prioritize their resources to take appropriate corrective and preventive action. Root cause analysis is essential. If you respond to injuries, damaged equipment, and environmental releases only by repairing the damage (or providing compensation if it is irreparable), you miss the opportunity to learn from these incidents and take action to preclude similar future incidents.
SAP delivers a comprehensive incident management solution that makes it easier for anyone to report an incident of any severity. Once it is reported, the incident manager and other experts can then use the system in a collaborative manner as they take immediate action and then thoroughly investigate the causes, take preventive measures, and manage reporting requirements to completion.
- Tracking of all incidents, close calls, and safety observations
- Integrated workflows to manage actions across different departments and help ensure closure
- Tracking of incident details related to people, assets, or the environment
- Reporting to internal and external stakeholders
In order to fully realize your company’s ability to remain sustainable and a viable resource to the industry you must start taking risk and incident management seriously. SAP EHS is suited to best serve these needs.
While it’s easy to set up shop, open the doors and start working to increase the top line – there’s often much more to a business than meets the eye. You have to have a little foresight (or a lot). You have to plan for the future. While it’s important to set goals and realistic timelines in which to achieve these goals, it’s also imperative that you keep risk management in the back of your mind. It’s not a fun subject to dwell on, but risk and “worst case” scenarios are often the reality that can put business at risk for manufacturers handling dangerous goods and material.
SAP EHS software aligns your core operations with a solution that enables you to fully draw up, and act upon the whole picture. Firstly, integrated sustainability reporting and analytics can help you drive financial returns and bolster all new levels of business growth and success. The software allows you to:
- Track and communicate sustainability performance
- Focus on increasing returns and executing strategy
- Strengthen your brand via transparency and accountability
- Reduce the time and cost of gathering data
- Improve reporting accuracy and usability
Secondly, as mentioned (and what’s direly important); keeping your eye on the factors that may derail your operation momentarily, or, in some cases permanently, is what’s going to separate you from your competition. Facilitating a means to assess and thwart business risk is imperative. Having a plan in place to make instances of discomfort (risk) a very minimal occurrence, if an occurrence at all, is part of EHS software’s functionality. Being able to proactively identify operational risks, take corrective action, and use these gained collective experiences to prevent costly incidents and accidents is the name of the game. With EHS software let us show you how you can:
- Confidently identify and reduce risks that can harm people, production assets, and the environment
- Consistently comply with regulations and implement EHS management system standards and requirements
- Establish and enforce operating controls and safety measures to prevent adverse events
- Reduce the cost of compliance and boost productivity across global operations
One challenge to driving safety and reducing risk across the enterprise is aligning key stakeholders responsible for daily operations – and that means everyone, top floor to shop floor. Without integrated enterprise processes, how can you gain visibility into the status of EHS risks – or achieve transparency into local data, key performance indicators, and local EHS activities? Integrated solutions from SAP consolidate information and processes on a scalable, flexible platform that empowers stakeholders to anticipate and avoid incidents that could harm people, assets, and the environment. With solutions that help align and communicate risks to all workers and provide the enterprise-level visibility and control to proactively address operational risks, your employees can make informed asset and safety decisions and respond swiftly to threats.
With this power in your operative system you can ensure that your ship continuously sails smoothly and that any rough waters that may lie ahead are in your sightline, and out of any menacing blind spots, capable of hazardous activity.
