Challenge

With Social Responsibility as a core business value and long-term goals set, Hunter Industries is committed to increasing employee development, reducing environmental impacts, and driving sustainable growth. However, with fragmented data and manual processes in place, it was becoming increasingly difficult to consolidate information from across the organization. The team also needed better insights into their progress toward achieving these goals. They were faced with challenges such as:

Back

Challenge

  • An EHS software that was unable to meet the requirements for tracking and reporting environmental and social data
  • Manual data collection, calculation, and management across multiple spreadsheets
  • Unreliable and erroneous data for progress tracking and communication
  • Resource-intensive reporting processes with many visual design tools
    Internal stakeholder buy-in and budget limitations

To combat these challenges and continue to provide accurate insights to their sustainability progress, the Hunter Industries sustainability team was tasked with revamping the sustainability program.

Solution

With FigBytes’ (now AMCS) integrated and intuitive ESG Insight Platform, Hunter Industries was able to solve their data and communication challenges. FigBytes (now AMCS) streamlines data management and translates complex data analysis into engaging visuals that present accurate insights and progress tracking to stakeholders.
