Leading Analyst Firm Will Deliver Keynote Address at ESS EXPO.08
Speaker to share perspectives on integrating EH&S compliance into business operations
Tempe, Ariz. (Issues Wire / Vocus) November 7, 2007 -- ESS, the leading provider of Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) and Crisis Management software for Governance, Risk and Compliance, today announced that AMR Research Senior Research Analyst Simon Jacobson will deliver the keynote address at the ESS EXPO.08 Business Conference and Workshop. Jacobson covers manufacturing compliance and quality management (including EH&S), manufacturing services organizations and the evolving ecosystem of providers across the range of industries that AMR Research studies.
In this keynote address, entitled ''Laying the Foundations for Sustainability with Environmental Compliance,'' Jacobson will look at how organizations of all sizes are coping with globalization, which has morphed the majority of yesteryear’s linear supply chains into today’s agile business networks. In this competitive business environment, catastrophic events, product recalls and environmental non-compliance all pose critical risks to business operations and brand image, especially in the eyes of today’s socially conscious consumer. Companies are responding by placing renewed emphasis on social responsibility while simultaneously pursuing profitable growth and consistent performance. These converging priorities have elevated the role of environmental compliance.
AMR Research’s expert will talk about how most comprehensive sustainability programs are focused on the need to integrate all aspects of product, process and supply chain design, and the supporting processes for manufacturing, packaging, transportation and disposal of products. Yet most companies still struggle with basic integration of foundational EH&S data into their everyday business processes. The ESS EXPO keynote address will explore:
- Current market demand and trends affecting environmental compliance
- The importance of linking corporate sustainability initiatives with value chain initiatives
- Best practices to integrate environmental compliance efforts with the business for a competitive advantage
"Global enterprises are facing a myriad of challenges to streamline Environmental, Health and Safety compliance, achieve sustainable operations performance and drive down operational risks and costs,” said ESS President/CEO Robert Johnson, “AMR Research’s insights will help the hundreds of industry leaders who attend our EXPO to chart a course for success in the midst of a rapidly-changing global business environment.”
ESS EXPO.08, which promises to be the world’s largest software users’ conference dedicated to EH&S and Crisis Management, will be held April 13-17 at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort in Phoenix. During more than 50 conference sessions, industry experts will provide information that will enable EH&S, Crisis Management and IT professionals and managers to leverage the latest ESS innovative technology solutions to achieve environmental sustainability, streamline compliance and meet or exceed corporate performance benchmarks.
