Environment, health and safety (EHS) services

Traditional EHS practices are often complex, rigid and focused solely on compliance. To address these challenges, EY teams have developed a suite of innovative solutions that promote simplicity and integration, along with a focus on critical risks.


What EY can do for you

EY teams can guide you through modern environment, health and safety (EHS) management, transforming challenges into strategic opportunities. Detailed research by EY teams, which includes insights from interviews with leading EHS professionals globally, has uncovered three key challenges that organizations are facing in this evolving landscape:

Complex EHS systems

Traditional EHS systems have become over-engineered, lacking flexibility to handle emerging risks, including psychosocial hazards. This complexity hinders the ability to manage core risks effectively.

One-size-fits-all solutions

Generic EHS solutions, primarily focused on compliance, fail to address specific organizational needs, leading to ineffective risk management and employee protection.

Overemphasis on compliance

Excessive focus on compliance leads to bureaucratic EHS management, overshadowing the importance of employee engagement and participation in creating a safe workplace.

These challenges create the need for a proactive, tailored approach to EHS in today’s world. EY teams can help you deal with these challenges by providing  custom solutions that can help:

  • Reduce the risks and consequence of adverse impacts on EHS.
  • Support you to make strategic and operational decisions that help drive effective productivity outcomes and positive employee engagement.
  • Turn EHS into a strategic value driver at your organization.

The EY EHS Maturity Model framework is the foundation of the EY EHS service offerings. The Maturity Model framework includes seven practical levers that can be used to help guide your journey. EY EHS services are tailored to each key driver of EHS maturity.
