Prestigious Verdantix Award Honors Material Compliance
Management System Developed by iPoint
Independent research firm Verdantix has recognized Emerson with
an Environment Health & Safety (EH&S) Innovation Award. The
multinational technology and engineering company headquartered in
St. Louis, Missouri (USA), won in
the utilities and telecoms category for the implementation of a new
material compliance management system. Designed and developed by
iPoint, a leading provider of software and consulting for
environmental and social product compliance, process compliance,
sustainability, and digital circular economy, the solution has
significantly improved the Fortune 500 company's EH&S metrics
and overall business performance. The benefits include more
efficient material compliance processes and data reporting
mechanisms concerning product-related international laws such as
REACH, RoHS, California Proposition 65, the EU Batteries Directive,
and Conflict Minerals.

"We are very honored to receive this distinguished industry
award," said Jason Volmer, Program
Manager - Product Materials Compliance at Emerson. "Emerson and iPoint have been working closely
together to develop and implement the Materials Compliance
Management System, which is intended to help manage product
material information from suppliers around the world and perform
analysis under multiple product environmental regulations. I
am pleased to see the teams get recognized for their hard work and
innovative efforts. Emerson chose to partner with iPoint as
they are a proven leader in the compliance industry that could
design and develop a software solution which aims to meet our
global product materials compliance requirements."
The Verdantix EH&S Innovation Awards highlight the most
successful projects using innovative information management
technologies to improve EH&S metrics and overall business
performance. For the 2017 awards, an independent judging panel
composed of EH&S veterans with broad, international experience
selected eleven winners in industry and public sector categories
from more than 70 submissions. By researching innovative EH&S
technology projects, Verdantix hopes to share best practice within
the EH&S community and give successful teams the recognition
they deserve. The Verdantix EH&S Innovation Award honors both
the organizations who implement innovative technology projects, as
well as their software and services suppliers.
"iPoint is very excited to be part of this award-winning
EH&S solution. Being recognized with this prestigious industry
award is a fantastic indicator that we are supporting our customers
in the right way," stated iPoint CEO Joerg
Walden. "In view of the ever-evolving regulatory landscape,
it's more important than ever for companies to have an efficient,
innovative software solution in place for handling a broad range of
EH&S requirements and product- and material-related compliance
regulations through the entire supply chain. Companies still
looking for impactful material compliance management systems should
take Emerson as a strong example
and business case."
Emerson and iPoint were
presented with the award during the Verdantix EH&S Summit 2017,
which took place in Houston,
Texas, from May 15-17.
Focusing on "Achieving EH&S Excellence With Innovative
Technologies", this year's conference and award ceremony offered
