Enablon to help Orica achieve sustainability initiatives

Orica has selected sustainability software provider Enablon to manage its safety, health, environment, community (SHEC) and sustainability initiatives worldwide. According to Phil Tester, CEO of Enablon North American, “Helping companies improve environment, health and safety performance to drive sustainable business value is what we do.”

Orica has recognised the need for building best practices in SHEC in order to deliver value to stakeholders, enhance financial performance and look after its 15,000+ workforce. In 2012, Orica initiated a global review of the company’s systems and structures for sustainability performance and started developing an organisational approach to a more detailed assessment process.

Orica selected the Enablon integrated platform to replace its previous systems and support the group’s long-term objectives, which include:

• Better worker safety and health outcomes by preventing injuries, illnesses and environmental incidents;
• Lower environmental footprint of operations by becoming carbon and water neutral, achieving zero waste and developing environmentally friendly operations, products and services;
• Strong and enduring relationships with community stakeholders and customers.

The Enablon platform to be implemented by Orica will enable the following initiatives:

• SHEC data management and reporting across all operations;
• Health assessments and record management;
• Management of change and action plans;
• Incident management and monitoring;
• Investigations, inspections and audits;
• Sustainability reporting;
• Safety.

Mark Edebone, general manager - global sustainability at Orica, said the solution “will establish a single repository for all SHEC data, enabling globally standardised processes, a solid foundation for unified reporting and analytics through this all-in-one integrated platform. It will both support and strengthen Orica’s social licence to operate and social integrity.”
