The ERIC mission is "to improve our clients' profitability and use of resources by applying detailed resource intelligence using advanced technologies"

ERIC's approach is based on sustainability principles that requires resource to be used economically, ecologically and socially to promote long term wellbeing and profitability.

ERIC believes that the 'triple bottom line' is best achieved when resource managers make decisions based on a sound understanding of resource opportunities and limitations.

ERIC seeks to achieve this by providing comprehensive baseline resource information to support business objectives and management decisions. This involves the development of decision support, monitoring and reporting systems. Information derived from monitoring and evaluation of key result areas is then used to provide continuous improvement in performance, against objectives.
