Executive Summary
This report, based on findings from the Verdantix 2026 global corporate survey, provides a benchmark of EHS trends and spend by region. EHS executives can use this report to compare their firms’ priorities, technology preferences and budget allocation with regional peers. Tech firms can use it to align product strategies with the evolving demands of buyers across geographies. In our survey, we interviewed 302 senior EHS decision-makers in organizations spread across five geographical regions and 24 industries (see Verdantix Global Corporate Survey 2026: EHS Budgets, Priorities And Tech Preferences).
