Executive Summary
This report provides a detailed, fact-based comparison of the nine most advanced digital EHS service providers. Based on the proprietary Verdantix Green Quadrant methodology, the analysis is based on a two-hour interview with executives and practice leaders at each vendor, vendor responses to a 129-point questionnaire, interviews with 11 independent customers representing eight industries who have bought or are planning to buy digital EHS services, and a survey of 145 EHS consultants. The analysis finds that most influential vendors in the market have begun generating competitive leadership through acquisitions, partnerships and investments. Smart buyers demand EHS consultants with advanced digital abilities that keep up with their own digital agendas. The analysis of the service line capabilities and market momentum of the vendors reveals that four firms—Arcadis, AECOM, Jacobs and ERM—currently lead the market, whilst the other vendors have strong capabilities in specific areas, such as digital safety training, EHS analytics and IoT sensor implementation.The State Of The Digital EHS Services Market
