Our Method

5 Steps to Digital Transformation

Guided Environmental Compliance is a blended method of high-tech solutions and high-touch support that paves the path to environmental digital transformation.

While working with leading environmental compliance teams to transform their operations, we’ve identified and simplified the entire compliance data management and reporting process into five steps that give structure — and then success — to complex regulatory programs.

“We don’t see our role solely as a support function for a particular environmental compliance program. Our vision is one of guidance, providing a roadmap to navigate the twists and turns of compliance and reporting.”

Step 1

Build a Compliance Data Foundation

Goal

Establish a strong foundation for compliance data

Value

Get a single point of visibility and control for corporate, facility, and contact data for all regulated facilities.

Method

Start by pulling in a canonical set of corporate, facility, and personnel information, so a strong foundation for compliance data can be established.

Step 2

Maintain Continuous Data Collection

Goal

Create a continuous data collection process

Value

Standardize the full data collection process across all locations, ensuring that needed data is collected in real time.

Method

Work with internal leaders to maintain vital data pipelines to establish a continuous data collection process for the relevant information on the correct cadence.

Step 3

Automate Updates and Notifications

Goal

Automate updates and notifications to keep facilities in compliance on an ongoing basis

Value

Automated notifications and triggers that lessen the number of facilities at risk of non-compliance by 98%*

Method

Use rule-based triggers to automatically catch data updates or changes, and then automatically submit them in the right format with audit-ready documentation.

Step 4

Stay Confident In Compliance Reporting

Goal

Confidently file compliance reports, like EPCRA Tier II, to various regulatory agencies

Value

A simplified reporting process that shortens the time to complete and file compliance reports by 90%, and eliminates 100% of errors before they occur

Method

At a cadence determined by the regulatory program area, use the data foundation established from steps 1-3 to automatically file reports to local, state, or federal agencies.

Step 5

Establish Program Unification

Goal

Build a sound foundation for accurate and ongoing environmental compliance

Value

A strong digital structure in the form of technology that connects compliance operations, expands to meet program area needs, and scales for growing organizations
