Case Study: Largest Retailing Company saves tens of millions in EHS program costs with Cority

Top Retailer Saves Millions in EHS Program Costs

Largest Retailing Company, a global retail leader with over 1 million employees and roughly 7,000 sites, faced slow manual EHS processes, no centralized data repository, and difficulty tracking diverse waste, compliance and reporting requirements. To capture large environmental data sets and streamline program management, the company began implementing the Cority SaaS solution (Cority Environmental Cloud) in 2008.

Cority delivered a centralized, cloud‑based Environmental Management system that automated data collection, validation and compliance tracking across sites. Using Cority, the customer now manages 250,000+ business processes, 100,000 inspections and 3 million compliance requirements, saving more than 100,000 hours of manual labor, cutting EHS program costs by tens of millions, delivering reports 7–10 days earlier, and reducing per‑waste‑stream time by 10–15 minutes while enabling targeted operational savings (including avoided tank upgrades and millions saved in grease management).
