Executive Summary

This report provides insight into the revenue opportunities for digital EHS service providers and viewpoints into where the next technology options may arise. The last several years have seen EHS service firms embrace digitization as a means of enhancing value propositions and creating a differentiating advantage against their competitors. Digital technologies have allowed EHS service firms to deliver their traditional service lines – such as site remediation, air services and auditing – in a more advanced and efficient manner with higher margins at stake. Beyond enhancing traditional project delivery methods, digital technology has opened up extended service opportunities on these traditional lines. In addition, the rise of digital technology has led to newly developed digital EHS products being commercialized by EHS consulting firms, such as IoT and analytics platforms.
