[Toronto, ON – March 18, 2026] — Cority, the converged platform for preventing EHS+ risks in operations, today announced that it has been named a Leader in the 2026 Verdantix Green Quadrant for Enterprise Carbon Management Software.

The Verdantix Green Quadrant is one of the industry’s most comprehensive evidence-based assessments of carbon management software. The 2026 report evaluated 21 of the most prominent carbon management software providers using Verdantix’s proprietary methodology, which assesses vendors across both capabilities and market momentum. This marks the third consecutive Verdantix Carbon Management Green Quadrant report in which Cority has been positioned in the Leaders Quadrant.

In the report, Verdantix cited Cority as providing “a flexible, secure platform for carbon data management and emissions calculation, designed to support complex organizational structures.” Cority received top scores for data acquisition and organizational structures, along with leading scores in data management and carbon emissions calculation capabilities.

The report also highlighted Cority’s robust and configurable security controls, including granular role-based permissions management. These capabilities are becoming increasingly important as carbon management programs expand beyond sustainability teams and become embedded across operations, finance and procurement.

“This recognition reflects how organizations are approaching carbon management today,” said Ted Kail, Chief Product Officer at Cority. “Decarbonization is no longer a standalone reporting activity. It is becoming embedded across operations and business planning. Organizations need platforms that can manage complex data across global operations while maintaining strong governance and security. Cority is designed to support exactly that.”

Carbon management software adoption continues to grow 

Adoption of carbon management software continues to accelerate. According to the latest report, market penetration has grown by 9 percent since 2024, even as organizations navigate economic and regulatory uncertainty. Companies are increasingly investing in platforms that help operationalize decarbonization across assets and supply chains, while integrating emissions management into broader business planning.

Data quality has emerged as the leading driver behind these investments. Many organizations still rely on fragmented systems that produce inconsistent emissions baselines and limited auditability, prompting a shift toward centralized carbon data management. At the same time, growing expectations around value chain transparency and the complexity of collecting Scope 3 supply chain data are pushing emissions management beyond sustainability teams, with operational, finance and procurement leaders now actively involved in decarbonization strategies.

Built for organizations with complex operations

Verdantix also noted Cority’s ability to support organizations with complex operational structures and jurisdiction-specific reporting requirements.

According to the report, Cority is “ideal for organizations with complex operations” due to its ability to model enterprise structures and create a digital representation of operational assets and reporting hierarchies. The platform also includes a library of more than one million time-stamped emissions factors and industry-specific capabilities such as its Methane Emissions Reduction Management, which enables real-time monitoring and automated calculations for flaring, venting, and fugitive emissions in oil and gas operations.

Expanding AI capabilities for carbon management

The report also highlights Cority’s recent investments in artificial intelligence through the launch of Cortex AI, the company’s embedded intelligence layer for the CorityOne platform.

Verdantix notes that the launch of Cortex AI in December 2025 “laid the foundation for increased AI integration,” introducing agent capabilities such as voice-to-text, image interpretation and document analysis.

One example highlighted in the report is Cority’s Sustainability Invoice Scanning Agent, which uses AI to extract emissions-related data directly from utility invoices to support carbon emissions calculations.

Cortex AI represents the first fully embedded and user-controlled AI framework designed to operate across more than 25 areas of operational risk related to employees, products, and assets. Cority is continuing to expand AI agents within carbon management and sustainability workflows, enabling organizations to configure agents tailored to their specific decarbonization processes.

[Orlando, FL – March 17, 2026] — Last week at Cority Connect 2026, more than 500 environmental, health and safety leaders from around the world gathered to examine how rapidly evolving technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, are reshaping their work.

Throughout the event, Cority demonstrated dozens of AI workflows that are now live on its platform, supported by 13 agents and a centralized control center.

These demonstrations, ranging from a medical scribe that allows clinics to see 10% more patients every day to an environmental permit analyzer that eliminates hundreds of hours of admin work and improves compliance, showed how Cortex AI, Cority’s intelligence layer for EHS and operational risk data, can automate work, surface insights, and help organizations move from reactive compliance toward proactive risk prevention.

This marks the most extensive real-world deployment of AI in EHS+ software to date. While much of the industry is still discussing the potential of AI, Cority showcased live AI agents embedded in workflows across safety, health, environmental, and risk management programs.

AI, Platforms, and Domain Expertise Reshape the Next Era of EHS+

Across keynotes, customer sessions, and industry discussions at Cority Connect, one theme was clear: As organizations begin exploring AI, many are realizing that the technology is only as effective as the systems behind it.

Fragmented point solutions and disconnected data make it difficult to generate reliable insights, pushing many organizations to rethink how their EHS+ technology is structured. Many companies are moving away from siloed tools toward unified platforms that bring together safety, health, environmental, and operational risk data in one place. These connected foundations are becoming increasingly important as organizations look to apply AI to real operational workflows and move from reactive compliance toward real-time risk management and prevention.

At the same time, the role of EHS leaders is expanding across the enterprise. As organizations face increasing operational complexity, boards and executives are asking EHS+ leaders to do more and pressuring them to adopt AI. Discussions throughout the conference highlighted how connected data and AI-driven analysis can help EHS teams move from reporting and compliance to playing a more strategic role in predicting and preventing operational risk.

Cority CEO Ryan Magee opened the conference by reflecting on this rapid pace of change across the industry and why the next wave of EHS+ technology will depend not just on AI itself, but on the domain expertise and data foundations required to make it meaningful:

“AI will have a profound and immediate effect on this industry if we get it right. But let’s be clear, AI is not replacing you, and it’s not replacing Cority. AI cannot do what you do. When it comes to EHS+, industry expertise is still king. It always has been and it always will be. The reason AI is so important in EHS is because the work is important. This isn’t about removing costs. It’s about making a bigger impact on the health and safety of our workforce and our communities.”

Real-World Examples from United, Aptiv and More

Examples shared at Cority Connect highlighted how organizations across industries are modernizing their EHS+ programs with AI. Companies including Aptiv, United and Smithfield were among the organizations represented at the conference, reflecting the growing demand for platforms that help teams manage risk across increasingly complex operations.

One healthcare organization discussed deploying AI-powered medical scribe technology across its network of clinics to automate clinical documentation. The organization estimates the solution saves clinicians roughly 30 seconds per patient interaction, freeing up more than 250 hours of clinician time per week while allowing doctors and nurses to focus more directly on patient outcomes rather than administrative work.

EHS+ Teams Are Racing to Adopt AI, but Few Are Ready to Support It

During the conference, Cority also previewed early themes from an upcoming industry report titled The State of EHS+ Technology, based on the EHS+ Technology Maturity Model. The research surveyed 2,000+ senior EHS+ leaders across industries and geographies to better understand how organizations are evolving their technology and operating models in response to AI.

Early findings discussed at Cority Connect suggest that many EHS+ teams are already experimenting with AI tools, often ahead of formal governance structures. The results point to a growing tension across the industry between the speed of adoption and the systems organizations need to manage AI responsibly.

Eric Olson, Chief Marketing Officer at Cority, said the findings reflect an increasing pressure on EHS+ teams to adopt AI and further consolidate their data and solutions.

“In one of the most risk-averse industries in the world, nearly everyone is going around the system to use AI. The appetite is there, but most said they still run on foundations that weren’t built to support it. The data is clear: AI is accelerating the shift from point solutions to platforms capable of handling new demands for security, data consolidation, and AI governance.”

We will be releasing the full findings from the State of EHS+ Technology later this month. It will be available on our homepage.

In this interview, Henrietta Tweedy, Legal Content Owner, at ERM Libryo, shares insights on the key regulatory and environmental, health and safety (EHS) trends that organizations across the region need to be aware of as they navigate the year ahead. 

What is the key regulatory and EHS trends organizations need to be aware of as we enter 2026? 

Regulatory change across Australia is increasingly defined by the implementation and enforcement of legislation that has already been enacted, rather than the introduction of entirely new policy frameworks. Henrietta identified three major regulatory trends that will shape the compliance landscape in 2026: 

1. Commonwealth environmental law reform moves into implementation 

Status: New law 

Australia’s reformed Commonwealth environmental framework enters an implementation and transition phase in 2026 following passage of the Government’s environment reform package in late 2025. This includes the Environment Protection Reform Act 2025 (Cth), which amends existing Commonwealth environmental legislation and provides for phased and proclamation-based commencement of key provisions across 2025 and 2026. 

As these enacted changes take effect, organizations will need to operate under amended statutory arrangements, including updated environmental assessment and approval settings, revised compliance obligations attached to approvals and conditions, and enhanced regulatory oversight. The reforms also support greater consistency and transparency in compliance monitoring and enforcement as the new legislative framework is progressively implemented. 

2. Safeguard Mechanism obligations continue to tighten  

Status: Ongoing implementation of enacted law 

The ongoing implementation of Australia’s strengthened Safeguard Mechanism remains a key regulatory trend for large emitters in 2026. Organizations must continue to comply with enacted amendments under the Safeguard Mechanism (Crediting) Amendment Act 2023, which amended the statutory Safeguard Mechanism framework under the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act. 

These legislative amendments set out a framework under which compliance requirements tighten over time, including through declining facility baselines and the use of crediting mechanisms. As a result, accurate emissions measurement and reporting remain central to ongoing compliance. 

3. State EPA enforcement powers expand through enacted and proposed reforms  

Status: Mixed – enacted and proposed law 

At state level, 2026 is characterised by continued strengthening of EPA enforcement powers through published legislative reform. This includes both enacted amendments and reform packages progressed through Parliament in 2025. 

Key examples include proposed amending legislation in New South Wales intended to update core environmental compliance and enforcement frameworks, and the Environmental Protection (Powers and Penalties) and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024 (Qld) (enacted), which expands EPA enforcement powers and strengthens penalty settings under Queensland’s environmental legislation. 

Are there particular industries where these trends will have the biggest impact? 

Some sectors will feel this more than others. When asked which sectors would feel the greatest impact from these regulatory changes, Henrietta highlighted: 

• Major projects (energy, resources, infrastructure, property): Commonwealth environmental approvals and conditions)

• Large emitters (resources, manufacturing, LNG): Safeguard Mechanism compliance 

• NSW and QLD regulated entities: expanded state EPA enforcement and penalty powers 

What this means in practice for 2026 

Looking ahead to the practical implications of these trends, Henrietta emphasized that the most significant regulatory impacts in 2026 stem from the commencement and continued operation of enacted legislation, rather than new policy development. Across Australia organizations will need to manage: 

• compliance with new and amended statutory approval, reporting and monitoring requirements; 

• increasing regulatory focus on implementation quality, data integrity, governance and assurance; and 

• overlapping and interacting obligations across jurisdictions, particularly for multinational groups. 

Effective preparation for 2026 requires clear visibility of applicable legislative instruments, an understanding of staged commencements and transitional arrangements, and systems capable of demonstrating ongoing compliance with statutory approval, reporting and monitoring obligations.
