ISN, a contractor and supplier information management services company, announced on Wednesday that it has released the 2025 edition of The Orange Book: The Journey to Best-in-Class Contractor Management, detailing how companies are advancing beyond compliance to foster best-in-class contractor management programmes.

Section One focuses on assessing safety culture, benchmarking performance, and managing operational risks including sustainability and cybersecurity.

Australian Hiring Clients in the oil, gas, downstream, and refining sectors collaborated to benchmark and standardise contractor qualification practices. Tronox and TotalEnergies' TEEP Barnett applied ISN's CultureSight safety perception assessments to capture workforce sentiment, develop site-specific improvement plans and enhance accountability. Georgia-Pacific employed human and organizsational performance principles alongside ISNetworld tools to achieve a 53% reduction in contractor total recordable incident rate and a 51% drop in days away/restricted transfer rate.

Aecon leveraged ISN's Corporate Social Responsibility offerings to gain actionable insights into contractor sustainability performance, while Equinor and Mondeléz used Cyber 360 and SubTracker tools to strengthen compliance and subcontractor management, enhancing jobsite safety.
