ESS, the leading provider of
enterprise sustainability solutions for Health,
Safety and Environment (HSE) and Crisis
Management, today announced that it has opened ESS China, its
Beijing-based office that will offer the industry-leading software
platform to organizations in Greater China and throughout the Asia
Pacific region.
To celebrate its new office, ESS will host a grand opening event,
featuring local executives and civic leaders, Wednesday, March 26 at the
Beijing American Club.
ESS has established its first office in Asia in order to grow its
marketing and support operations in a region where it already has a
strong client base, including global energy giants PetroChina
and China National Petroleum
Company (CNPC).
“Businesses throughout Asia and, in
particular, Greater China, are positioning themselves to increase their
market share through expanded global operations,”
said Robert Johnson, ESS President and CEO. “Those
decision makers understand that their organizations must implement
standards that are aligned with international protocols such as ISO
14000, Global Reporting Initiative, OHSAS 18000, REACH and others in
order to compete in markets where HSE is recognized as an important
benchmark for enterprise sustainability.”
For nearly two decades, ESS has provided customer-focused solutions that
reduce complexities, risks and costs that are associated with HSE
management so organizations can reach their corporate governance goals
for sustainability and operational excellence. ESS China will continue
that tradition by offering the company’s
integrated software platform, which enables organizations to efficiently
address urgent business concerns such as greenhouse gas management,
Corporate Social Responsibility reporting, worker health and safety,
compliance reporting and emergency response.
“Organizations throughout China have
experienced tremendous growth over the past 10 years, and now they are
facing daunting environmental, health, safety and crisis management
challenges,” Johnson said. “ESS
is uniquely positioned to help those organizations manage their HSE
issues more effectively. ESS’ integrated
software platform enables users to efficiently collect and communicate
critical HSE and Crisis data at all levels of an organization and across
the enterprise. With technologies to support enterprise hierarchy and
multilingual localization, ESS delivers enterprise solutions that help
organizations leverage their HSE data to achieve a competitive
advantage, and support Governance, Risk and Compliance.”
PetroChina’s HSE software platform
implementation represented a major landmark as the first enterprise-wide
compliance and risk management software deployment of its kind in China.
ESS’ software platform enabled PetroChina,
the world’s largest company by market
capitalization, to increase productivity by driving process improvements
that generated time and cost savings while also improving management
decision making. CNPC selected ESS based on the success of the PetroChina
implementation.
