[Sydney, Australia August 22, 2024] – The Global EHS Readiness Index (GERI) benchmarks the overall EHS program maturity of organisations by assessing ten (10) EHS capability factors for EHS readiness. The study also highlights the critical gaps and vulnerabilities holding EHS programs from moving forward with preparedness.

Overview:

This report offers a comprehensive analysis of Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) program maturity across various industries and geographies

Key points include:

1. EHS Readiness is Low: Only 3% of organisations are considered “future-ready”, while 67% fall into the operational category, still exposed to high-risk levels.
2. Connectivity is Critical: Lack of integration and reliance on disconnected solutions present significant challenges. 47% of EHS leaders cite poor connectivity as their top challenge.
3. Adoption of Unified Platforms is Low: 84% of organisations have not adopted unified EHS platforms, hindering risk reduction and operational effectiveness.
4. Key Gaps Identified: Organisations struggle particularly with managing psychosocial and mental health risks, workforce engagement, and data security.
5. Need for Technology Modernisation: Modernising EHS platforms, centralising data, and reducing administrative burden are identified as essential steps towards greater EHS maturity and risk reduction.
