about hunter industries
Founded in 1981, Hunter Industries is a family-owned company and a global leader in innovative water- and energy- efficient solutions for landscape irrigation, dispensing technology, outdoor lighting, and custom manufacturing. Their core mission will always remain the same: to deliver valued products and services backed by unwavering customer support, grow the company conscientiously, and remain true to the culture that makes their team proud to work at Hunter.
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:
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.
