Executive Summary

61% of EHS decision-makers are planning to pilot or increase use of AI for EHS in 2026 – but leaders should be aware that its value for the function depends heavily on foundational readiness, strategic governance and thoughtful implementation. Executives must evaluate their organizational data maturity, establish robust governance frameworks and recognize the limitations of AI outputs. 

This ‘key questions’ guide draws on insights from our Vantage Safety Council, alongside Verdantix analysis, to support EHS leaders seeking to responsibly integrate AI into their operations, while aligning with broader organizational goals and compliance obligations.
