Our take
Workplace safety lies primarily in the hands of workers and employees. EcoOnline has set out to challenge unsafe work environments and practices by providing employee training and workplace safety solutions in the form of EHS and chemical management SaaS tools.
Its solutions are extremely customisable and so cover a wide range of different industries. This has allowed the company to attract customers such as the NHS, Siemens, Legoland and Johnson & Johnson.
EcoOnline is constantly adding newer EHS areas such as sustainability to its portfolio of solutions which will help expand its customer base even further. Backed by strong institutional investors, listed on the Oslo exchange, and boosted by several acquisitions, the company is well set to see continued growth.
