Verdantix Green Quadrant Reveals AI Revolutionizing EHS Software, Driving The Shift Towards Proactive Risk Management

London, UK. As organizations worldwide strive to enhance safety, compliance and sustainability, serious injuries and fatalities (SIFs) remain a critical challenge for EHS leaders. AI-powered EHS software is revolutionizing the industry, enabling organizations to proactively identify and mitigate risks, leading to a safer and more resilient workplace. Furthermore, the convergence of EHS, ESG and supply chain sustainability is driving demand for integrated software solutions that can address these interconnected challenges.

At the same time, the complex EHS software market continues to consolidate, propelled by private equity acquisitions and mergers, with the market set to exceed $3 billion in 2028. With the number of major players featured in the Verdantix benchmark report shrinking from 23 to 19 over the past year, competition between the extant brands has intensified. Vendors are responding by investing in cutting-edge technologies, expanding capabilities, and forming strategic partnerships to address evolving buyer needs.

The Verdantix Green Quadrant: EHS Software 2025 benchmark report provides safety executives with comprehensive insights for navigating this dynamic and competitive market, providing clarity on the most impactful technologies and strategies for enhancing safety, compliance and sustainability. The report identifies seven firms - Benchmark Gensuite, Cority, Evotix, Intelex, Sphera, VelocityEHS and Wolters Kluwer Enablon - offering robust all-round EHS management capabilities.

Key report findings:

• The pace of consolidation in the EHS software market slowed in 2024, as vendors prioritized strengthening their core capabilities. Significant acquisitions in 2023 included Cority's purchase of Greenstone, EcoOnline's acquisition of Ecometrica, and AMCS's acquisition of FigBytes.
• Vendors are leveraging AI solutions to help organizations move beyond reactive safety practices. Tools, including computer vision technologies such as those from Intenseye and Protex AI, are helping firms monitor compliance and detect unsafe behaviours in real time. Numerous vendors, such as ComplianceQuest, Cority and Ideagen, now offer AI-derived insights embedded within BI tools.
• Vendors are differentiating themselves by specializing in areas such as emissions tracking, SIF reduction and industry-specific solutions. For example, KPA's acquisition of ComplyNet has enhanced its sector expertise, while Benchmark Gensuite has formed numerous alliances to further its connected worker capabilities. Large players, such as Intelex, Sphera, VelocityEHS and Wolters Kluwer Enablon, are expanding their offerings to meet the diverse needs of organizations.
• Large enterprises are seeking configurable platforms, such as Evotix and Intelex, that can streamline processes, improve data quality and enable advanced analytics. Smaller organizations prioritize simplicity, cost-efficiency and rapid deployment - as offered by Evotix Assure - to meet operational demands.

"As AI continues to advance, EHS software vendors are poised to deliver innovative solutions that drive significant value. By embracing AI-powered technologies to monitor for hazards, automate tasks and identify worker wellbeing issues, organizations can enhance their EHS programmes, reduce risks and improve overall performance," said Chris Sayers, Senior Analyst at Verdantix. "For vendors, the path to success lies in specialization, investment in cutting-edge technologies, and fostering long-term customer relationships."
