As we close out 2025, one theme stands above the rest: change. From regulatory uncertainty to shifting global supply chains, organizations everywhere have had to adapt quickly and decisively. It’s no coincidence that AI emerged as the defining force of 2025 across sustainability, risk and operational functions. It has become an essential enabler for improving productivity, strengthening compliance and driving operational resilience.
At Sphera, we’ve spent the year accelerating our AI strategy across the entire business. We advanced the development of Sphera AI, our next-generation intelligence layer designed to give customers greater clarity, precision and speed in their decision-making. We also introduced Supplier 360 Intelligence that uses automated data ingestion and real-time analytics to empower procurement and risk teams to identify supplier risks in seconds and take immediate, proactive actions.
These capabilities are not new ideas. They’re the result of decades of Sphera’s domain expertise and the industry’s most trusted data foundation: more than 500,000 proprietary emissions factors and 20,000 third-party–verified datasets. All are updated annually. This foundation supports robust life cycle assessments and sustainability decisions.
We have embedded AI across our product portfolio so customers can analyze information at scale, anticipate risks, take context-aware actions and make better decisions faster. We believe 2026 will be the year AI sits at the center of everything we do, and everything our customers rely on.
We envision a year where Sphera AI will help:
- Process safety teams quickly identify, interpret and act on critical information.
- Product teams uncover risks and data gaps earlier to deliver safer, more compliant, market-ready products and ensure transparency across the entire product journey.
- Sustainability leaders automate product carbon footprints and produce audit-ready emissions data in minutes.
- Procurement and Supply Chain teams detect supplier disruptions before they impact performance.
- Environmental, Health & Safety Managers predict and prevent incidents. Protecting people, assets and operations.
None of this progress is possible without the continued partnership and collaboration of our more than 8,500 customers worldwide. AI is the cornerstone of how we co-develop the next generation of solutions that global leaders need to build resilient, competitive enterprises.
At Sphera, 2026 will be a year defined by innovation, with AI leading the way as we continue our mission to create a safer, more sustainable and productive world.
