ENABLON, EXPANDING SUSTAINABILITY PLATFORM, TAKING MARKETSHARE IN EHS

Excerpts

Branding itself as a software supplier with a focus on sustainability management, Enablon (Chicago, IL) was a relatively early arrival on the sustainability scene. The company launched operations about 10 years ago focusing on the non-financial aspects of business management and recognizing that there were few, if any, companies providing an integrated approach to the control of environmental, social, and other non-financial risks.

"There were lots of separate tools for air, water, and chemical management and the like, but in terms of integrated platforms covering these issues, there was nothing," says Phil Tesler, Enablon’s CEO. The company started with sustainability reporting functionality, moved quickly into environmental, health, and safety (EHS) information management and compliance tracking, and on up to a broad platform.
