Field Tested, Industry Experts
The Verdant Team
We collaborate.
We cooperate well with each other and our clients to develop solid products to tackle the challenges of EH&S compliance. Combining the environmental backgrounds of our staff with input from facility managers and regulatory agencies allows us to build tailored, integrated solutions.
We innovate.
Verdant’s goal is to utilize technology to turn complex problems into simple solutions. That’s why our product is continually improving based on valuable feedback from our clients. Our development process is one of transparency not only between our staff, but with our users.
We’re authentic.
Our parent company started as a small hazardous materials consulting firm 30 years ago. Since then, we’ve used our field experience working with facility managers as an opportunity to build the most robust and comprehensive environmental tracking software on the market.
