John Hayworth Vice President of the Sims Metal Management'ss Safety, Health, Environmental and Community (SHEC) management team said that the KMI EHS Suite was selected based on its
ability to meet critical business requirements.System usability, flexibility and ease of providing comprehensive global organizational performance and risk data to executive management
were key factors among these requirements. The ability to deploy and support the hosted software as a service (SaaS) in more than a dozen languages around the world was also an important
consideration in the selection process.
According to Fred Cornell, Regional SHEC Director, The safety, environmental stewardship and sustainability of our operations are top priorities for Sims Metal Management and we believe
the solution provided by KMI is an effective tool for supporting this global strategy. Our company immediately realized the potential return on investment from this comprehensive risk,
performance and sustainability management system.
According to Matt Airhart, Director of Business Development at KMI, We are excited to add the world'ss largest metal recycler to the growing number of companies that trust KMI as their
long-term, preferred provider of EHS information management systems (EMIS). Implementing an effective global EMIS is a necessity for a company like Sims that has grown through mergers and
acquisitions. It not only supports real time risk visibility across the organization, but also acts as a simple platform for pushing consistent corporate safety and environmental
stewardship standards out to a diverse and dispersed group.
The KMI EHS Software Suite is being implemented by an integrated team comprised of KMI project management and system integration professionals along with Sims SHEC management and IT
support. Sims anticipates initial release of the system on January 1, 2009, which is less than three months from project kickoff.
