麻豆原创 EHS Management Archives | 麻豆原创 News Center /tags/sap-ehs-management/ Company & Customer Stories | 麻豆原创 Room Wed, 16 Jul 2025 18:52:45 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Strategy Update: The Next Evolutionary Step of 麻豆原创 S/4HANA for EHS /2025/07/strategy-update-sap-s4hana-ehs/ Thu, 17 Jul 2025 11:15:00 +0000 /?p=235923 For over 30 years, 麻豆原创 has supported customers鈥 operational compliance with a substantial portfolio of environment, health, and safety (EHS) capabilities that increase safety performance and accuracy while reducing operational and compliance risks.

In recent years, amid the evolving regulatory landscape and interdependencies with other business areas, a new set of cross-process requirements have surfaced.

麻豆原创鈥檚 answer is the shift from a reactive, centralized compliance management system to a proactive approach that adapts to an organization’s needs. We are transforming 麻豆原创 Environment, Health, and Safety Management from a monolithic system of record into a modular and connected suite.

Environmental management: from static tracking to intelligence

麻豆原创 solutions for environmental management address the management of waste and emissions as well as water and wastewater.

Updates to EHS solutions are intended to assist users in completing tasks more quickly and efficiently. For example, intelligent permit management is possible thanks to automated regulatory requirement extraction, making permit management tasks less tedious. In the future, proactive regulatory intelligence will prepare customers for the impacts of changing compliance requirements.

By focusing on proactive document extraction and a single entry point for compliance, customers can expect to benefit from reduced compliance preparation time and enhanced audit readiness.

Workplace safety management: from reactive to proactive

The updated workplace safety process orchestrates and extends the individual capabilities of safety performance management, operational risk management, and incident management.

The Business Case for Tackling Inequality /2023/07/business-case-tackling-inequality/ Mon, 03 Jul 2023 11:15:34 +0000 /?p=205681 Inequality acts as a threat multiplier, fueled by crises ranging from pandemics to climate change. It is a systemic risk threatening the political and economic fundamentals that businesses depend on to operate, innovate, and grow. Businesses have powerful levers at their disposal 鈥 as well as powerful reasons to use them. We need to manage people impact with the same attention we manage carbon.

At a time when the wealthiest 10% of the global population earns more than half of the world’s income* and when only a handful of countries have the right conditions in place for genuine upward mobility, people are losing faith that the political and economic systems businesses depend on will deliver for them and their families.

The Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is unequivocal that inequities linked to gender, ethnicity, income, and other factors increase vulnerability to climate risks and impacts. It also calls for action to tackle inequality as a key lever in achieving climate resilience and adaptation.

Companies have powerful levers at their disposal to be part of this critical effort 鈥 and meaningful reasons to use them.

There is a profound business case for a holistic and interconnected agenda to mitigate both the systemic and business risks created by inequality. Tackling inequality in the corporate value chain is a journey that all companies must begin, creating a ripple effect for positive impact.

  • Mitigate: To prevent and minimize negative impact, it is necessary to stay ahead of regulatory change by implementing the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Start with your own operations and build robust corporate governance to reinforce and support commitments and practices. Then, expand the scope up- and downstream.
  • Remediate: Build needed capacity, trust, and accountability across the value chain and drive positive output. Mobilize resources and measure and disclose responsible business practices.
  • Advance: Promote social equity and gender equality. Extend the scope to n-tier suppliers and workers in the value chain and track measures of effectiveness for positive outcome and informed decisions, securing license to operate by building trust amongst employees, consumers, and society at large.

You Are Not Alone

Global obligations are not easily managed. Regulations are complex, increasing in severity, and varying by market. Data is distributed across multiple systems and is largely a manual effort to collect and process, and there is often a lack of insight to support collaboration between stakeholders towards equality.

Your business is not alone in facing these challenges. We need to work collectively to solve these complex challenges.

麻豆原创 can enable your supplier due diligence processes with human rights risk assessment and insights integrated into sourcing and contract workflows in . The supplier self-assessment questionnaire on human rights compliance is available for any supplier in as a one-to-many data exchange in which a supplier can freely share the questionnaire with any buyer that requests it. This helps build trust in human rights due diligence and can lower time, effort, and cost for both supplier and buyer.

can enable critical interventions in areas such as occupational safety and health. can support the creation of a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace and provide education and training to help prepare people for the future of work. can positively impact consumers and the community by securing safe products and services, for example, via product and material compliance with human rights. These are just a few examples of how 麻豆原创 technology can support your company鈥檚 transformation to realize a just transition to a net-zero and inclusive green economy.

Holistic and Interconnected Business Agenda

We are all on a journey towards a holistic and interconnected business agenda, and we must act to reinforce the “S” in ESG (environment, social, and governance) 鈥 a critical pillar of action that has been overlooked for too long. In the report “,鈥 the Business Commission to Tackle Inequality (BCTI) set up by World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) presents 10 clear actions that companies can take to address mounting inequality.

Tackling inequality is an important driver for long-term, sustainable economic growth and many leading companies are already embracing this role by working to level the playing field. The call to action now is for all businesses to maximize their potential to head off the risks posed by mounting inequality and ensure that equal opportunities and better outcomes are available for all.

How 麻豆原创 Helps Businesses Streamline Their Emissions Declarations /2023/05/sap-ehs-management-streamline-emissions-declarations/ Wed, 31 May 2023 12:15:09 +0000 /?p=205131 Across industries, sustainability has transformed from a mere buzzword 鈥 and a box to be checked 鈥 to a critical component of corporate strategy.

鈥淭here have always been regulations, rules, and expectations on how companies operate in order to make sure there isn鈥檛 a negative impact on the environment,鈥 says Michael Censurato, global solution manager for at 麻豆原创. 鈥淲hat鈥檚 changed in the last couple of years is that there鈥檚 a lot more focus and scrutiny. It鈥檚 in the news. It鈥檚 on consumers鈥 minds. It鈥檚 on investors鈥 minds.鈥

A by the Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment found that in 2022 climate change was the top environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issue, in asset-weighted terms, for money managers and institutional investors alike. 麻豆原创鈥檚 own research shows that, between 2021 and 2022, the importance of customer demand as a motivator for sustainable action increased sevenfold.

Joining the Green Vanguard

While executives now consider ESG initiatives integral to the future success of their businesses, they鈥檙e also acutely aware of the difficulty in measuring the progress of these initiatives and of translating their successes to regulators. In research conducted by Oxford Economics and 麻豆原创, had established policies for working with regulators to ensure the implementation of sustainable practices. For businesses of all sizes, the risks and costs of non-compliance are high 鈥 ranging from penalties and fines to suspended operations, loss of business, and even personal liability on the part of executives.

Among the most significant difficulties in ESG reporting is ensuring that environmental metrics are both transparent and accurate 鈥 reflecting actual values, rather than averages. In many organizations, environmental compliance strategies have historically required a highly manual effort, relying on spreadsheets and weeks of data aggregation and processing across multiple time zones and working structures, often leading to oversights and delays.

Finding a solution that offers a better route towards ESG reporting and compliance is a critical step in the broader business strategies and outcomes of teams big and small. As the imperative to establish a carbon-neutral bottom line becomes stronger than ever, those companies that are able to meet these challenges will emerge as market leaders.

End-to-End Environmental Management

Since 2003, 麻豆原创鈥檚 EHS team has been helping enterprises comply with environmental regulations through a range of solutions, including 麻豆原创 Environment, Health, and Safety Management. This application can provide the consistency, auditability, risk reduction, and transparency that companies require. It can also supply environmental managers and technicians with an easily navigable platform, helping to unlock in-depth insight into their operation鈥檚 environmental impact.

Powered by 麻豆原创 S/4HANA, 麻豆原创 EHS Management helps support teams throughout the process of aggregating, preparing, and analyzing their environmental data. The application鈥檚 advanced capabilities can also allow for early detection of deviations from target emissions values 鈥 so that if, for example, carcinogenic compounds released during a particular production process exceed their environmental limit, a plan can be instantly put into action, giving teams plenty of time to adjust and remain compliant.

The Emissions Declaration Challenge

Within the broader category of EHS compliance, emissions declarations in particular are notorious for the time and diligence they require. Companies based in Germany, for example, must file detailed reports every four years for the BImSchV ordinance on emissions declarations, while European companies at large must file annually for The European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR). There are more regulations on the way: earlier this year, the International Finance Reporting Standard鈥檚 (IFRS) International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) the development of a standardized language for disclosing ESG-related risks and opportunities. The new criteria will come online in January 2024.

And for companies in heavy-emitting industries, such as chemical, oil and gas, or steel and iron production, the diversity of emissions that need to be recorded and included in these declarations range from the dust and exhaust released during the transportation and processing of raw materials to passive emissions such as fuel tank venting. As a result, the extent of the reporting itself 鈥 and the challenge of remaining compliant 鈥 is immense, particularly for global operations operating across jurisdictions.

In the past, the burden of these emission reports fell on the shoulders of environmental and operations managers, who have had to struggle with the inefficiencies built into the highly manual procedure of gathering, calculating, and reporting the necessary information, all within a strict timeline.

Reporting Made Easy

Addressing this bottleneck, the new 麻豆原创 Fiori app “My Emissions Declarations” is designed not only to help fast-track the creation and completion of emissions declarations but also to help establish a governed backbone to the process itself. My Emissions Declarations is currently designed specifically for the filing requirements of the BImSchV ordinance, but additional filing procedures, triggered by legal requirements, will soon be featured as part of the app’s offering.

The My Emissions Declarations app helps emissions reporting stay on track from the very beginning of the process. Plant managers are in charge of ensuring that the required reports are started and filed on time. When plant managers need to initiate a declaration, the app sends a notification directly to the manager鈥檚 e-mail and automatically creates a task on the homepage.

Once the task has been successfully opened, the plant manager can hand over responsibility to others, like plant operators or environmental technicians, who will typically take charge of entering all necessary data into the app for each emissions source. The flexibility of the My Emissions Declarations app can support automatic data collection, by way of sensors, meters, operational systems, and data historians.

After data has been entered, the app takes the lead, running the complex calculations required to generate accurate emissions data. 鈥淲ithin the app, the respective experts are able to simply input the minimum information required by the calculation formula,鈥 explains Mariya Krasteva, area product owner for 麻豆原创 EHS Management. 鈥淭hen, as soon as the concentration of a specific emitted substance is entered, all other parameters are calculated automatically.鈥 Whereas some solutions store these equations in a database or in the software coding, making them difficult to validate and edit, the My Emissions Declarations app allows end users to easily view, edit, and maintain these equations all within the platform.

Crucially, My Emissions Declarations can also enable plant managers to quickly validate the data鈥檚 accuracy, helping to ensure its quality throughout the process. And, with seamless integration to 麻豆原创 EHS Management as a whole 鈥 and by extension, to the 麻豆原创 S/4HANA digital core 鈥 the app can allow teams to establish a holistic understanding of their operation鈥檚 footprint. After all, enterprise-wide sustainability management does not exist in a vacuum. Companies must juggle a wealth of other compliance, monitoring, and maintenance procedures. In many operations, compliance processes overlap with plant maintenance because the manufacturing equipment also needs to be maintained and monitored for any pollutants it produces.

鈥淥ur solutions help to tie these pieces together, making the handoff to other processes much more seamless,鈥 explains Hitesh Patel, product manager for 麻豆原创 EHS Management. Integrating the My Emissions Declarations app into the broader management system helps teams utilize company data previously defined in the software鈥檚 asset management feature, creating a comprehensive view of emissions sources 鈥 including scope 3 emissions, such as those related to facilities and assets. By calculating actual emission amounts, rather than averages, teams are now able to make even more accurate, data-driven decisions.

鈥淭he bottom line is that this is out-of-the-box compliance and an end-to-end solution, which allows auditability at anytime,鈥 says Krasteva. 鈥淥ne precise emissions inventory, one source of truth.鈥 And when, ultimately, the plant manager is ready to prepare the declaration itself, the app generates an XML report, which it can then directly submit to the relevant authorities before closing the task until next time.

Taking the Lead

Maintaining efficiency and diligence in compliance procedures is an indispensable step for companies looking to chart a more sustainable future for themselves and their industries. 麻豆原创 EHS Management, as well as My Emissions Declaration, can give teams crucial support in charting that future and in reaching the sustainability goals and benchmarks that will help them get there.

Safeguarding Employee Welfare at Motor Oil with Real-Time Incident Reporting /2022/02/motor-oil-safeguarding-employee-welfare/ Wed, 09 Feb 2022 13:15:50 +0000 /?p=194487 Motor Oil, Corinth Refineries S.A. is an energy group based in Greece. It was founded in 1970 and its refinery in the region of Corinth counts among the top refineries in Europe.

The company plays a leading role in crude oil refining and marketing of petroleum products in the country as well as the greater Eastern Mediterranean region, supplying its customers with a wide range of high-quality products. Motor Oil produces 185,000 barrels of crude oil each day with a workforce of 2,500 employees and exports to more than 45 countries. The refinery, along with its ancillary plants and fuel distribution facilities, constitutes the largest privately-owned industrial complex in Greece.

Recently, Dimitrios Michalopoulos, head of Industrial Applications at Motor Oil, explained how the company improved environmental, health, and safety processes. This is of significant importance to the company鈥檚 success in keeping incidents at a minimum and ensuring a safe work environment for its employees.

Replacing Manual Incident Management Processes

For many years, incident management processes were cumbersome and manual. 鈥淲e have three categories of incidents: incidents where someone was hurt like through a fire, near misses, and safety observations,鈥 Michalopoulos said. 鈥淚n the past, the incident management process was based on spreadsheets. In the case of an incident, refinery engineers had to fill a predefined form and e-mail it to our health and safety department. As there were no predefined field values, employees were free to enter texts without getting any system-based assistance and control.鈥 He continued: 鈥淎s a result, it was very difficult to generate any relevant KPIs as the entire process was manual.鈥

The assignment of incident managers was carried out by the health and safety section head without adequate traceability on what happened when and who was actually acting as the responsible incident manager.

鈥淭he investigation and root cause analysis process was executed completely offline, and corrective or preventive actions that were decided to be executed resulted from the investigation process. All of that was recorded in shared spreadsheet files and progress was communicated via e-mail,鈥 he added. 鈥淚t is obvious that the monitoring of corrective or preventive actions was a cumbersome and time-consuming task for all incident managers. The preparation of KPIs and reports based on unstructured data was a challenging and manual process with a high risk of human error.鈥

The company had to take a new approach to overcome the challenges. 鈥淎ll the above challenges related to an insufficient quality of incident management. The amount of time required for managing this on a daily basis, including preparing KPIs and reports, led us to the decision of deploying a new and integrated solution based on 麻豆原创 ERP,鈥 Michalopoulos explained.

Project Objectives and Key Factors

In terms of objectives and key factors, Michalopoulos identified increasing employee participation in and awareness of health and safety processes as one of the key objectives for the project. 鈥淲e wanted to introduce an intuitive way to make incident reporting easier for everyone in the refinery,鈥 he said.

Additionally, standardizing incident management processes was another important objective for the company. Based on the refinery鈥檚 official procedures, it was important to Motor Oil that every employee should be able to report an incident or a safety observation. To raise employee awareness, the company also set up a rewards program.

Meeting Strategic Goals with a Modern Solution

Motor Oil evaluated 麻豆原创 Environment, Health, and Safety Management and determined that the 麻豆原创 EHS Management, incident management application best covered its requirements. 鈥淲e can rely on it,鈥 Michalopoulos said, adding 鈥渙ur IT infrastructure is based on 麻豆原创. Therefore, we wanted to benefit from leveraging integrated data from other 麻豆原创 solutions and be able to prepare consolidated reports without developing complex interfaces.鈥

Motor Oil deployed the incident management capabilities with its health and safety section as the business owner. 鈥淎ll 1,500 refinery employees can now use the system and the interactive forms can be filled by everyone,鈥 Michalopoulos remarked. Moreover, the solution is used by the incident managers in the health and safety section as well as by refinery section and refinery department heads, which comprise about 50 people.

Improved and Automated Reporting

鈥淲e deployed the new system in July 2021 with assistance from Real Consulting IT Business Solutions S.A. Therefore, it has been productive for only a few months and it is still early to determine safe metrics about the benefits,鈥 Michalopoulos said. 鈥淥verall, the quality of our health and safety processes and the time required for managing incidents have significantly improved.鈥 So far, Motor Oil has seen:

  • Increased employee awareness and higher compliance with internal and external safety regulations and standards
  • Standardized and eased incident reporting on a tablet for all 1,500 refinery employees and the management team
  • Time savings of 25%-30% in managing incidents and reporting, thanks to automated workflows, predefined KPIs, and interactive forms allowing them to focus on higher value-add tasks
  • Availability of up-to-date online reports with the latest incident information details, enabling fast decision-making and advanced analytics
  • Simplified and documented incident investigation and root cause analysis processes automatically trigger corrective and preventive actions that can be monitored and tracked with regard to progress
  • Cost savings thanks to the integration with the company’s human resources system, which runs on 麻豆原创 solutions, to immediately access refinery employee details

New Solution Supports Corporate Goals

麻豆原创 EHS Management helps Motor Oil meet its corporate goals. 鈥淭he nature of Motor Oil Group鈥檚 business operations, such as refining, storage, transportation, and marketing of petrochemical products, make occupational health and safety a matter of high importance and a top priority to us. Our management鈥檚 commitment to ensure a safe working environment is absolute and permanent. We take an ongoing and systematic approach for the improvement of health and safety issues,鈥 Michalopoulos said. 鈥淏ased on this strategy, 麻豆原创 EHS Management plays a vital role to us.鈥

The company鈥檚 future plans include implementing additional software components. 鈥淥ur greenfield implementation is in progress and considered the digital core of the transformation process at our company. In addition, was selected as our strategic tool for planning and budgeting processes at group level.鈥

Putting Safety at the Core of the Chemical Industry /2020/06/safety-core-chemicals-industry/ Wed, 03 Jun 2020 12:15:08 +0000 /?p=173120 In the chemical industry one thing is unequivocally clear: Safety is paramount.

It is not a slogan, not a message board, not just policy. For the most successful chemical companies around the world, safety is their core value, and safety is their mission to make the world a better place, which starts with ensuring employees leave the facility the same way they came in. While there are industry averages to compare against, there are not acceptable limits. The goal is zero, and the expectation is perfection.

A safety culture is not built overnight, and an important component of this culture is creating an environment where employees connect to the mission of their company, which for the chemical industry is often to make the world a safer, healthier, and better place to live.

A company with direction can encourage focus and create ownership to operate with a higher responsibility to society. This is not just what products or services are being delivered, but they are important. The how this is accomplished is built on safety at the core of the business. When coexisting, understanding the why and the how encourages employees to champion the company culture. There is understanding and ownership that operating safely inherently creates value for the company and for society.

This must be in parallel with rigorous safety protocols that ensure processes, hazards, and risks are understood and addressed. This extends well beyond procedures as the success of safety culture resides in a company鈥檚 ability to empower its employees to do the right thing every time, no questions asked. It is not just the result of talking about safety, rather it is a mindset of actively applying safety principles to everything that happens across the business and even bringing this mindset home. Sometimes putting safety as a No. 1 priority impacts operating margins or capacity. But with a strong safety culture, there is no tradeoff, simply an unwavering commitment to employee health. For chemical companies, this is the prerequisite for sustainable operations and success in the market.

A strong safety culture extends to every facet of an organization. Safety must be at the core and is fundamental to every decision that is made. A safety culture must be constantly nourished, requiring processes to be evaluated, dialogue to be open, people to be collaborative, and sentiments understood. This is complex and no single component turns the needle. It is a collective effort to build this culture top down and bottom up.

For 麻豆原创, the importance of environmental, health, and safety (EHS) is evident in the 20-plus year record of investment, innovation, and market leadership in delivering solutions. By leveraging data to drive analysis and actionable insight, the collaboration among EHS practitioners, corporate leaders, and field operations drives world-class safety processes.

Michael Censurato, EHS solution manager at 麻豆原创, helps bring this solution to the market and the value proposition is clear: 鈥淭he modular but unified platform provided by 麻豆原创 enables the EHS function within an enterprise to be more aware, reduce risk, drive intelligent processes, and be at the forefront of digital transformation instead of being left behind on a non-integrated island.鈥

Solutions include incident management, health and safety management, environmental management, management of change, and maintenance safety embedded in 麻豆原创 S/4HANA, delivering a harmonized platform and a single source of truth. This is about enabling a holistic approach to embed safety and operational risk management into all operations, making critical safety information available to all 鈥 top floor to shop floor, and enabling EHS practitioners to lead within their organizations.

Putting in perspective how companies continue to transform, Censurato says, 鈥淐ompanies have begun to see the value of an integrated platform approach to solving EHS issues. The current situation regarding the coronavirus puts this in sharp focus and is forcing companies to rethink how they will operate going forward. 麻豆原创 is uniquely capable of driving the process and data integration required for businesses to thrive in the years to come, while adding a layer of intelligence along the way.鈥

For chemical companies, one thing will not change: their commitment to safety. Safety will be at the core and 麻豆原创 is excited to be a part of this journey leveraging digital transformation in the drive to zero.
