Executive Summary

This report helps strategy executives, chief marketing officers and business development directors at EHS services firms understand their brand strength, in terms of preference and awareness, relative to their principal competitors. We conducted the brand awareness study using the perspective of 304 EHS executives across 25 countries and 24 industries, as part of the 2025 Verdantix global corporate survey of EHS budgets, priorities and technology preferences (see Verdantix Global Corporate Survey 2025: EHS Budgets, Priorities And Tech Preferences). Survey respondents were senior decision-makers within their corporate EHS functions, with all participants holding the titles of VP, SVP, Director, Senior Director, Senior Manager or Manager. Survey results indicated that the largest integrated service providers have the most positive brand perception for their EHS capabilities, despite their area of focus being much wider than EHS and its associated topics, such as operational excellence, sustainability and AI.
