Environment management and reporting is a critical piece of organizational sustainability. EXP-Hazox offers an Environment Management System (EMS) to quickly and easily manage your environmental reporting requirements in a structured way. All organizations must comply with requirements from regulatory agencies worldwide (e.g. US EPA – Toxic Release Inventory & EU EEA – Freedom of Access).

Equally important, is the growing corporate responsibility for voluntary environmental disclosure. Investors, shareholders, customers and employees expect easy and transparent access to environmental information. In 2010 alone, a total of 9279 organizations voluntarily reported to the CDP, GRI and EMAS. A good environmental management software application can: drive business efficiency, create a competitive advantage, enhance reputation, and reduce risks to your organization.

The Solution

More than just a carbon footprint calculator, the EMS offered by EXP-Hazox is the most comprehensive and flexible application on the market. We provide a platform that allows the recording of any environmental indicator, anytime, in any way.

The EXP-Hazox EMS is built on “open architecture”, giving it the ability to record any unit of measure/currency, at any frequency, and with any emissions/grid factor. In addition, these indicators can be uniquely configured at any organizational level, with automatic unit of measure conversion, and detailed indicator characteristics. The formula and reporting engine can calculate and display information at any level of reporting within your organization. The power of administration is in your hands which eliminates customization and reduces operational costs.

“Out-of-the-box”, the EMS is a “best-in-class” solution that is compliant with industry standard reporting requirements such as the GRI and GHG Protocol and CDP. The EMS contains hundreds of environmental indicators, emission factors, conversion factors and reporting templates (e.g. Scope 1, 2, & 3 air emissions). The EMS generates “sustainability reports” to be shared with your stakeholders, customers and employees.

The entire set of EXP-Hazox solutions is available for installation on your IT infrastructure or online via a SaaS (Software as a Service)  hosting agreement.
