How to Manage Global Environmental Risks in a Sustainable Manner

As with any technology-driven field, there have never been so many tools available to assist companies in their environmental compliance efforts. These tools, like any other, can be used individually to stay (barely) ahead of requirements, or they can work together in an efficient, sustainable system. Often, systems grow organically, with new solutions introduced whenever new challenges or regulations require them. This can lead to a patchwork of tools and efforts that, at best, complies with regulations. Although this approach can be effective, it is rarely efficient.

Most industries spend significant time and money managing environmental risk. Therefore, companies that find efficient, effective means to manage their environmental risk will have advantages in their industries.

Join Brenda Lunger of Olin Chlor Alkali and SAP to hear insights on “growing” an efficient, effective, sustainable Environmental Management system. Brenda will share her perspective and review best practices that Olin has developed over several years through the company’s enterprise-based management approach toward environmental management.
