The shift back to EHS is real and safety is reclaiming its seat at the table, and real-time data is driving impact where it matters most. ??
EHS & ESG — Are We Finally Getting It Right? Lately, we are hearing a lot about corporations quietly ditching their ESG initiatives. People outside the industry point to the same reason: political shifts. But can it really be that simple? Operations and sustainability leaders have much better reasons. They’ve spent years and billions on ESG dashboards, carbon tracking, and corporate reports. And yet, the same question lingers: Is any of it truly making an impact? Here’s the hard truth: You don’t change the real world by looking at pretty software charts. Every company now understands that operationalization of data is what actually drives impact. And that starts on the shop floor. So how do companies do this? It’s simpler than you think: ? Right data – If you can’t measure it in real time, you can’t fix it. Whether it’s safety risks, emissions, or compliance gaps, AI and sensors must surface issues before they escalate. ?? Right integrations – Safety, sustainability, and operations can’t be siloed. Connecting real-time insights across teams drives better decisions and faster action. ?? Right workflows – Data is useless without action. Risks, violations, and inefficiencies should trigger immediate corrective actions not just reports. The Shift Back to EHS We’re watching a major shift in how companies think about sustainability. The most forward-thinking organizations are putting workplace safety back in charge. Why? Because safe operations = higher output. When workers feel safe, they focus on the job. When incidents drop, downtime decreases. And when frontline teams are empowered, sustainability goals stop being theoretical and start becoming reality. ?? The Big Bet: EHS Platforms Will Pivot Back to Safety Watch closely—major EHS compliance platforms that went all-in on sustainability will roll back. They’re already thinking about how to enable their original, first happy user base: safety professionals. For years, these platforms disregarded the heroes of this industry—EHS leaders and frontline safety teams. But now, their focus is shifting back. This tectonic shift will push companies to rethink how they solve both safety and sustainability challenges—not with dashboards, but with real-time data and operational execution. Big changes are coming—and we’ve got some exciting updates from intenseye on the way. ?? EHS leaders, are you seeing this shift in your company? Comment below or send me a message—let’s brainstorm! I’d love to hear your take on this shift. #EHS #WorkplaceSafety #OperationalExcellence #Sustainability #AI
