ERM and Ecolumix partner to help clients harness data to enhance EHS performance. 05 March 2026 ERM, the world's largest specialist sustainability consultancy, has developed a strategic partnership with Ecolumix, the leading provider of US environmental, health and safety (EHS) data intelligence and benchmarking. As a leader in EHS programs, regulatory compliance, and operational performance improvement, ERM helps organizations anticipate risk, strengthen core EHS programs, and sustain measurable performance improvements. Ecolumix's expertise includes analyzing EHS data across millions of facilities and hundreds of KPIs to enable rapid identification of outliers and performance trends. Businesses are facing rising regulatory expectations around environmental and safety performance, while publicly available EHS data and advancements in AI-enabled data analytics are driving increased stakeholder scrutiny and ushering in a new era of transparency. The ERM and Ecolumix partnership provides EHS leaders with a comprehensive view of their organization's performance across the US, at enterprise and facility levels and against industry peers, enabling strategic resource allocation that reduces exposure and delivers measurable, data-backed ROI. Through data-driven insights and EHS program expertise, ERM and Ecolumix are helping clients reduce risk, strengthen compliance, drive performance improvements and enhance their reputation in the market. The partners are already working on client engagements including: * Measuring facility-level EHS performance and risk across enterprises to identify issues that could trigger regulatory action or affect customer relationships. * Applying Ecolumix performance data to target EHS audits more effectively, helping clients focus resources on the highest-risk locations and programs. * Assessing supplier and vendor EHS risks that may impact operations, legal exposure, and brand reputation. Ramesh Narasimhan, Global Managing Partner, Safe & Sustainable Operations at ERM said: "We are seeing increased client demand for EHS performance benchmarking, while the rise of public data transparency has raised the stakes, amplifying both risk and opportunity. ERM's partnership with Ecolumix will help our clients to see how they compare against peers, understand performance variability across their own operations, and apply ERM's expertise to turn those insights into targeted, sustainable EHS performance improvements." Doug Parker, CEO at Ecolumix said: "We're excited to partner with ERM to help organizations unlock greater value from their EHS data and better understand how they stack up to their competitors. Ecolumix assesses data in context - across operations and against peers - to pinpoint where risk truly exists and where investment and corrective action will matter most. Paired with ERM's deep technical and regulatory expertise, these insights translate into practical, defensible actions that help companies prioritize resources, reduce regulatory and reputational risk, and drive real improvement at the facility level - where EHS performance truly matters."
