ScottsMiracle-Gro: Driving safety-first vision and zero incidents goal

Introduction

The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company, an American multinational corporation headquartered in Marysville, Ohio, manufactures and sells consumer lawn, garden and pest control products. Facing challenges with outdated systems, SMG aimed to improve its EHS functionalities and achieve a zero-incidents goal.  

The challenge

• Obsolete system that lacked innovation and EHS functionalities
• Lack of a centralized system to store EHS data
• Need to mitigate workplace incidents and worker claim costs
• Lacked real-time visibility into EHS performances

The solution

ScottsMiracle-Gro selected Ideagen EHS for its:

• Advanced capabilities to centralize EHS data
• Tools to mitigate workplace incidents and reduce worker claim costs
