"Let's just do the risk assessment after the incident."

One of the best parts of unpacking this year's Verdantix Green Quadrant for EHS report is hearing what it means to our team. In the words of Nancy Sieber: I almost didn't make it past five years. May seem like an unlikely opening from someone celebrating 21 years at Cority, but reaching this milestone has given me a chance to reflect. Before joining Cority, I had never spent more than five years in any industry, let alone with a single organization. In fact, at my five-year mark at Cority, I found myself struggling in a new role and failing spectacularly. At the time, our president, back when Cority was small enough that leadership knew and supported every employee personally, told me something I have never forgotten: You're in the wrong seat on the bus. What mattered most was what he said next. He believed there was a seat for me; we just needed to find it. Over the next 16 years, my role evolved in ways I could not have imagined. I was able to draw on my experience leading Cority implementations while helping build and expand our implementation partner ecosystem. That combination of customer experience, delivery expertise, and partnership development has shaped much of my career at Cority. Twenty-one years ago, Cority was a niche organization of just 35 employees. Under the vision and leadership of Mark Wallace, we set our sights on becoming the global market leader. Today, being recognized as a leader in the 2026 Green Quadrant for the seventh consecutive report, with the broadest functional coverage of any vendor assessed by Verdantix, reflects how far that vision has carried us. One quote has always resonated with me: "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." (African Proverb) After 21 years, I believe that has never been truer. Cority, our customers, and our partners achieved more together than any of us could alone, and I am grateful to have been part of that journey.

Years ago, we bet on building one platform across EHS, sustainability, quality and risk, instead of a collection of point solutions. We backed that platform with people who've done the work: 40+ years of EHS expertise, built into our workflows, data and teams, and extended by a growing network of partners. Bringing everything onto one platform gave our customers better visibility into risk, stronger collaboration across teams, and lower operating costs. Then AI changed what's possible. With the right data in one place, AI can surface risk signals that used to stay buried, so teams can act earlier, before small issues become serious harm. But AI is only as trustworthy as the controls around it. So, we built it into our platform as a governed intelligence layer, not a set of standalone tools. That's the foundation Verdantix recognized: - Top scores across 15 categories and above average scores in all 37 categories assessed. - A Leader across three 2026 Verdantix Green Quadrants: EHS, Process Safety Management and Enterprise Carbon Management. - Verdantix calls our Cortex AI Control Center "a differentiator within the EHS software market." - Strengthened leadership in occupational health and industrial hygiene, with expanding capabilities in air emissions and ESG. Our bet has always been that building the right foundation produces the best results. Verdantix's recognition is the proof. The honor of supporting our customers is the payoff.

Introducing: Field Notes! ✨ Cority's new, unserious show about serious EHS topics. Coming to YouTube Friday, Oct. 16 at 12pm ET/9am PT. In under 20 minutes, our expert panel will rank the AI myths they hear most from customers and the industry, from settled truth (S tier) to absolute myth (F tier): 👉 Can AI predict incidents before they happen? 👉 Will AI replace EHS teams? 👉 Is AI widely used in EHS today? Featuring our very own Amanda Smith, Scott Miner, Connie Prostko-Bell, Tanya Jenke, PhD, and Eric Olson. So grab your popcorn and join us for the most fun you'll ever have discussing AI in EHS.

EHS Incident Reporting (Old Way vs. New Way) 👇 Old Way: - Write the incident details on a paper form in the field. - Drive back to your desk (green lights only, please 🤞). - Key the same information in. Again. - Wonder if there's a better way to get this work done... Add that up over a day, a week, a year. You get a lot of time that could be saved with the help of AI. New Way ✨: - Don't go anywhere! The myCority app is in your pocket. - Describe the incident out loud, right where it happened. - AI transcribes it and fills in the incident report for you (thanks, Cortex AI!). - Review it before it's final (because industry expertise is still king). - Spend the time you got back on your people and your processes. Pretty transformative stuff. Scott Miner shares how some Cority customers are already working this way in this clip from Field Notes (get the full episode at the link in the comments 😉).

Converge Studio 2026 is a host-led broadcast live from Cority on November 12. Hear how leaders are using AI to drive real value in EHS+, see live Cortex AI agents at work, and get a first look at what's next.
