“Sphera continues to find ways to innovate and expand our on-premise and cloud-based capabilities through our rapid growth strategy,” said Paul Marushka, Sphera’s president and CEO. “This research validates our efforts to help the world’s largest enterprises tackle risk in all areas of their critical operations, especially in EHS, chemical management, product lifecycle management, Product Stewardship and corporate sustainability.”

In 2019, Sphera enhanced its portfolio with the acquisitions of SiteHawk (May) and thinkstep (September). Specifically, the report states that with the SiteHawk acquisition: “Sphera has further cemented its commitment to building cloud-accessible, enterprise-scale product stewardship software,” and, regarding thinkstep: This “positions Sphera as the only EHS software vendor in the most recent Verdantix Green Quadrant EHS software benchmark study to offer product life cycle assessment (LCA) capabilities.”
