This market overview presents a selection of environmental management software and EHS software (Environment, Health, Safety) that helps organizations manage environmental, occupational health and safety processes in one system and document them reliably. The solutions support building and running an environmental management system (EMS) to ISO 14001 or EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) and replace scattered spreadsheets, paper files and isolated records with a shared data basis. Environmental officers, EHS managers and site management keep deadlines, permit conditions and corrective actions in view across all locations.
Typical functions of environmental management and EHS software include a legal register with automatic regulatory updates and compliance evaluation, assessment of environmental aspects and impacts, permit and obligations management, recording of emissions, energy, water and waste data, a hazardous substances inventory with safety data sheets, risk assessments and training records, incident and near-miss management, as well as audit and action management with reminders and audit-proof documentation. Many solutions are modular, multilingual and multi-site capable, and their indicators and dashboards also provide the data basis for ESG and sustainability reporting.
