Baxter Healthcare Corporation

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is a global medical products and services company that provides critical therapies for patients' life-threatening conditions. The company's products and services in blood therapies, cardiovascular medicine, medication delivery and renal therapy are used by health-care providers and their patients over 100 countries.

Baxter is an industry leader with regards to their Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) practice as evidenced by their selection for the Dow Jones Sustainability Group Index (DJSGI). Baxter is also a key corporate member of CERES (non-profit environmental consortium of institutions with environmental interests), as well as a pilot company for the Global Reporting Initiative's Sustainability Reporting Guidelines.

Over the past ten years, key members of the Traver Group team have played an important role in the development of Baxter’s EHS IT system that has helped Baxter establish and maintain its reputation as a globally recognized leader in Environmental Health and Safety affairs. This includes management and IT consulting services, participating in global rollouts of component applications as well as assisting with coordination of vendor and contractor resources.

Today, this system is used by Baxter EHS managers in over 125 facilities in over 49 countries to meet their regulatory and EHS management needs. Baxter has also been able to leverage the data collection, reporting and analysis capabilities of this system, and become one of the first companies to issue a sustainability report using GRI guidelines.

“The TGI team,” says Robert Seguy, Corporate Director, Industrial Hygiene and EHS Information Systems at Baxter, “has been consistent in its loyalty and service as a Baxter partner over the past ten years and the company’s senior management are recognized and respected in the EHS IT field.”

Also, in 1999, when Baxter decided to outsource all programming and maintenance of its EHS information management systems offshore, key TGI team members also facilitated the identification and creation of appropriate offshore development resources, and coordinated the transition of all application development to the offshore development firm."
