Executive Summary

This report contains an extract of the Verdantix Green Quadrant 2017 analysis of the environmental and sustainability functionality of twenty EHS software applications. The majority of EHS decision-makers prefer the idea of purchasing a single, integrated application to cover all EHS workflows. But factors such as industry-specific requirements, limited usage scenarios for software or constrained budgets may push them to make purchase decisions based primarily on specific ‘must have’ functional requirements. Based on 17 assessment criteria, the Verdantix benchmark of air emissions, GHG emissions, water and waste water emissions and sustainability functionality finds that Enablon stands out in the market with a score of 78% of the maximum potential score. Sphera and Enviance also score above 70% for environment and sustainability functionality whilst Intelex, Dakota Software, UL EHS Sustainability and ERA Environmental all achieve scores above 66%. With ten vendors scoring above 50%, customers have a wide range of solid options to choose from.
