About this webinar:

The EHS and compliance technology landscape is shifting rapidly as organizations move from pilot experiments to enterprise-wide AI deployments. In this fireside chat, Verdantix Senior Manager Chris Sayers will present fresh research from surveys of 352 senior leaders and 304 EHS professionals on AI adoption across environmental, health, safety and compliance functions. The data reveals that 95% of organizations now view AI-led automation as important to their strategy, with centralizing EHSQ data management emerging as the most important goal for 20% of organizations and a very important goal for a further 38%.

In conversation with John Molamphy, Ideagen's Chief Technology Officer, Chris will explore the convergence around proven use cases in 2025 – from incident and nonconformance description quality to root cause analysis – and what 2026 will bring as agentic AI systems begin automating repetitive compliance workflows. The discussion will address critical challenges organizations face: escaping pilot purgatory (when AI initiatives remain stuck in testing phase rather than scaling across the organization), building the data foundations AI requires, managing change with frontline teams and avoiding common deployment mistakes. This research-focused session will provide vendor-neutral insights on where the market is heading and practical guidance for organizations at any stage of their AI journey.
