Executive Summary
This report provides unique insights to help corporates and software vendors understand anticipated EH&S budget changes for eight EH&S-related processes in 2017. The global analysis is based on interviews with 301 senior EH&S executives at firms with annual revenues ranging from $250 million to over USD$20 billion and identifies trends across four regional geographies (Asia-Pacific, EMEA, North America and Latin America) and five industry sectors (business and financial services, consumer services, energy and basic resources, manufacturing, and retail and consumer products).
