Brenntag Latin America

For Brenntag Latin America, safety and security have always been serious priorities. As the world was changing dramatically, it was necessary to analyze our current standards and implement the best security management system possible.

Since integrating Straec[SRM]™ into our security regime in 2003, across 15 countries covering forty-nine facilities, the numbers speak for themselves, which is the best indication that the service is working. Not only have we saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in security deployment costs, but there has been a significant decrease in negative events at all locations.

The comprehensive nature of Straec[SRM] has provided Brenntag Latin America with superior analysis and recommendations for every type of risk facing individual executives and its forty-nine facilities. It also addresses threats to intangibles like intellectual property and other proprietary information and assets. Anyone can conduct this user-friendly and intuitive assessment, which then results in simple identification of security issues and an extremely detailed, prioritized list of concrete ways to increase security and reduce vulnerability.

One of the most important results since incorporating Straec[SRM] is the focused and strengthened awareness of each person participating in conducting and reviewing the assessments. Individuals now realize through using the solution how imperative this process is and how important their roles are in solidifying safety and security company-wide. Our employees are better equipped to recognize security risks, more likely to follow outlined security procedures, and to report breaches in security and security protocol. Feedback from our managers reflects strong incentive to achieve higher levels of security based on the indexed results of the assessments.

Personal sense of safety of our employees and their increased loyalty toward Brenntag are also exceptional and unexpected outcomes of the Straec[SRM] security management service because they have experienced first-hand how Brenntag will facilitate major efforts to protect their well-being on the job.

Brenntag does not see security without a tool like the one provided by Straec. The company has achieved results which far outweighed our initial expectations. Straec’s easy, practical, and no-nonsense approach to thoroughly increasing security, reducing vulnerability, and providing exceptional on-going training and support has benefited our Division in numerous ways: by establishing security protocol, instilling in our employees a sense of personal investment in maintaining security, and saving the company money while effectively increasing its safety and security in a real-time, web-based, user-friendly application.

Because of our tremendous success with Straec[SRM], Brenntag Latin America will continue to use this solution to increase corporate safety and security. Not only does Brenntag Latin America highly recommend Straec’s services, but it is now viewed as an essential part of the organization’s culture and progress. The benefits from using Straec[SRM] have vastly exceeded those of any other security method we have previously received.

Sincerely,
