CGI's REACHMate Environmental Solution Successfully Implemented in
Multiple Client Organizations
Prior to November, 2010 Registration Deadline
Fairfax, VA (Vocus) April 1, 2010 -- CGI Group, Inc. (TSX: GIB.A; NYSE: GIB), a leading provider of
information technology and business process services, today announced its REACH environmental solution,
REACHMate has been successfully implemented in multiple client organizations before the mandated November
2010 REACH registration deadline.
REACHMate, part of CGI’s Environment Health and Safety (EHS) solutions portfolio, was developed in 2009
through partnership with leading chemical companies to create a comprehensive solution for managing use and
exposure scenario data in compliance with the European Union’s (EU) REACH regulation. REACHMate
streamlines data tracking and reporting in order to meet REACH compliance. It is a comprehensive, flexible and
intuitive solution that can be integrated with existing Product Safety solutions.
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical substances) is a European
regulation on chemicals and their safe use and is considered the most ambitious chemical legislation that has ever
been enacted anywhere in the world. This regulation affects any chemical company who is producing chemicals
in or importing chemical substances into the EU, requiring it to manage more chemical information than ever
before.
“CGI is proud to be a market leader for REACH technology,” said Rich Beach, CGI’s Director of Environmental
Solutions practice area. “We have further strengthened our long-standing client partnerships by delivering
REACHMate well in advance of the November 2010 REACH registration deadlines.” REACHMate is designed
to integrate with any third-party EHS solution and can be easily updated to comply with evolving regulations and
implemented under compressed timeframes.”
