Case Study: Alcoa achieves global sustainability leadership and EHS compliance with Sphera Essential Suite

Alcoa Extends Global Sustainability Leadership with EHS Solution

Alcoa, a global leader in primary and fabricated aluminum, needed to better integrate sustainability with its business strategy to deliver financial success, environmental excellence and social responsibility while ensuring compliance with complex regulations and continuously improving operational processes. To meet these challenges the company selected Sphera and its EHS platform, deploying Sphera Essential Suite® (with regulatory content from Sphera CyberRegs®) as the backbone of a global sustainability and EHS information program.

Sphera implemented a global EHS information system that now serves 170 facilities in 32 countries with 10,000+ named users in 13 languages, enabling compliance assurance, task management and regulatory tracking across 250+ jurisdictions. Using Sphera Essential Suite® and CyberRegs®, Alcoa manages 1,200+ permits (2,500+ rules, 225,000+ requirement citations), tracked 20,000+ tasks in 2012 with over 85% case-task on-time completion, consolidated legacy systems to reduce costs, and publishes real-time EHS metrics for reporting and decision-making.
