Concurrent Session: Using Business Intelligence Tools for Environmental Performance Improvement Grand Salon 19/22

Many organizations already utilize Business Intelligence (BI) tools to find actionable insights in their health and safety data to improve worker safety and decrease incidents. Environmental professionals can also take advantage of these off the shelf tools (that your organization probably already has) to find areas for improvement in their domain. Using BI tools to visualize environmental data can help you build confidence in its accuracy, identify areas for operational improvement and benchmark your environmental performance against your peers and competitors or even across sites. This presentation will showcase how you can leverage BI tools to quickly verify environmental performance, flag potential inaccuracies in your data, identify opportunities for improvement and strengthen your overall approach reporting.
