Working new sources of productivity
Product life cycles are increasingly short, and the global markets ever more competitive. Our search for new sources of productivity is on-going. Environmental services are an important means of identifying opportunities for productivity enhancement.
Unrelenting focus on quality and safety
56%* of industry respondents mentioned workforce safety as their top priority, and acknowledged that performance in this field should be improved.
53 %* of companies questioned expected assured safety from their service providers.
People development is critical to our business
44%* of industry leaders are considering outsourcing new industrial business.
Growing technological and regulatory complexity in the environmental field requires ever more skills and know-how. Such skills are costly to maintain in-house, and industrialists prefer to concentrate their staff on meeting the needs of the plant processes.
Environmental compliance: progress on all fronts
"Protecting the environment is one of today's highest priorities in industry, a challenge in its own right. Environmental concerns are fourth ranked by industrial leaders, after cost, quality and safety. Environmental protection as an issue ranks well ahead of production plant performance, innovation or corporate image. In the final analysis, environmental concerns are increasingly seen as a lever of industrial performance. Environmental compliance is a corporate concern in its own right, a natural part of the cost control policy pursued by companies."
