Information Management

Managing and understanding true environmental performance and its related data is an increasing burden placed on organisations. Regulation and the increasing stakeholder expectations require data to be collected more quickly and for an ever-wider range of issues, including greenhouse gas emissions, chemical hazards, due diligence and corporate responsibility. Poor data management and the poor use of data can result in failures in operational management and subsequent prosecution, loss of reputation and significant costs.

CRA’s technical specialists provide guidance on data needs and the methods for collection in order to meet specific regulatory requirements and to comply with sector initiatives or reporting standards. We can provide personnel who will work with our clients to develop data management processes, and collate and process data. CRA provides IT-based data collection tools and services, including automated field data collection and processing, and GIS applications. CRA has also developed tools that are tailored for corporate data collection and aggregation, which can provide verifiable data for corporate reporting. We also support clients in sourcing and managing chemical hazard data to comply with the EU REACH Regulation.
