FRANKFURT, Germany & FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ProcessMAP Corporation, the industry leader in offering a cloud-based data intelligence platform for Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) transformation; and Operational Risk Management (ORM) announced today that the company has established its European headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany. The new headquarters will play a key role in facilitating collaboration with customers, co-innovating solutions specific to local needs, and enabling even stronger customer success engagement at more than 15,000 customer locations across Europe.
Strategic Drivers for Growth and Expansion in Europe
The 28-member European Union (EU) block has a strong commitment to environmental sustainability, as well as to workplace health and safety. In December 2019, countries in the region adopted the European Green Deal – a set of policy initiatives that aim to ensure that there are no net new emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050 and that the regional economy is decoupled from resource use.
Similarly, in the second quarter of 2021, EU countries will present a new Occupational Safety and Health Strategic Framework for the period 2021-27, to update protection standards for workers and tackle both traditional and new work-related risks. Work-related accidents and illnesses lead to an estimated annual loss of around 3.3% of GDP in the EU. Over the past decade, the European occupational safety and health (OSH) policy framework and rules have contributed to considerably improving working conditions. The incidence rate of fatal accidents at work has fallen by nearly 30%1.
Reflecting the strategic focus and importance Europe places on EHS areas, the region accounts for more than 25% of the global EHS software market and is the second-largest market after North America. According to estimates published by Verdantix2, an independent research and advisory firm, the European market for EHS software will grow by an overall 70% or a CAGR of 11.2%, from $379 million in 2021 to reach $645 million by 2026.
