Delivering Exponential Value

We call this our eROI^SM outcome: the exponential value of improved performance, operational efficiency and sustainable impact.

Measurement is a critical component of our process to deliver exponential outcomes. Using our proprietary eROI^SM value approach, we measure our impact and quantify customers' return on investment.

We start with what matters most to our customers - performance - and link performance outcomes to environmental and social metrics and cost savings to demonstrate the triple-bottom-line benefits of sustainability.

How we use eROI to quantify and communicate Exponential Value

Our eROI^SM value approach measures what matters most to our customers:

Improved Performance: We help customers achieve system assurance and ensure clean, safe and healthy environments. We make sure these outcomes increase over time.
Operational Efficiency: We identify ways to improve efficiency and outcomes to ultimately reduce total cost of operations.
Sustainable Impact: We helps customers minimise impact on the environment to reach their sustainability goals. We measure the sustainable impact of our solutions against a set of sustainability indicators that align with customer key business drivers across a diverse set of industries.

How our icons communicate Customer Impact areas
