Environmental Performance Management On Demand is a solution designed to help manage the heavy regulatory burdens associated with emissions-related compliance. Environmental Performance Management helps you measure and monitor your direct emissions regardless of medium (i.e. air, water, or solid waste) and manage these emissions against regulatory requirements.

As an example, Title V air permits are typically hundreds of pages long, filled with requirements and conditions. In order to meet the demands of the permit, tasks must be managed throughout the plant – be it calibrating a piece of machinery or measuring the sulphur content of fuel oil. Environmental Performance Management provides a framework for breaking the permit down into its respective components, and establishing workflows to ensure compliance by managing the required tasks against the associated emissions. You can also set emission limit alerts to trigger specified actions – thus addressing your emissions proactively, as opposed to reacting after a permit requirement has been broken.

Environmental Performance Management also helps with the reporting of your emissions and regulatory compliance efforts by enabling you to create templates of commonly required reports – all available at the push of a button, or they can even be automated.

Your advantages

eSpheres Environmental Performance Management Solutions provide a standardised platform for managing existing and future compliance processes systematically. By integrating data from processes seamlessly, Environmental Performance Management becomes easier for the management team to monitor, less time-consuming for staff, and contributes to accountability and trust in the public eye.

Regulatory or internal requirements can be mapped, updated and assigned to facilities or users. Compliance status is monitored continuously so that deviations can be detected quickly, thus minimizing reaction times and reducing the overall costs of countermeasures.

eSpheres’ Environmental Performance Management On Demand solution is focused on reducing a company’s use of natural resources and improving organisational efficiency while driving costs down. The solution uses best practices that fit nicely into an enterprise computing environment with SAP and other ERP solutions.

  • Discover: Aggregate environmental record information from relevant data sources in order to provide a comprehensive view of resource consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact
  • Plan: Define strategies, optimise planning decisions, forecast reductions, identify objectives and metrics, and calculate timing and benefits for each initiative
  • Act: Manage the execution of environmental and energy programmes, track results per initiative, and provide an audit trail for any current or future regulatory requirements
  • Innovate: Implement and leverage best practices for continuous improvement and business transformation

With the growing focus on Environmental Performance Management, eSpheres argues that the benefits of outsourcing labour to low-wage countries are gone, and that managing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions now produces the greatest cost-savings.
