Encamp, the guided environmental compliance platform for enterprises with complex regulatory needs, announced the launch of the AI-powered Encamp Compliance Platform. Designed specifically for environmental compliance leaders, the platform addresses the increasingly critical manpower gap in Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS), enabling understaffed teams to proactively manage complex regulatory environments. 

Key to the Encamp Compliance Platform’s power is Scout, an embedded AI that moves the platform beyond a system of record to a system of action. Scout automates critical environmental compliance responsibilities, including assessing obligations, collecting and analyzing data, and checking against federal, state, and local regulatory rules. Unlike the chatbot bolt-ons being added to legacy EHS platforms, Scout is purpose-built for environmental compliance.

Encamp Compliance Platform capabilities include:

•    Embedded AI

•    Facility Source of Truth

•    Predictive Compliance

•    Expert Analysis, Anytime

•    Compliance-Grade AI

“Even though there are profound financial and criminal risks at stake, EHS platforms have failed to keep up with the increasing environmental compliance regulations. The actual work gets done manually by overworked teams or the consultants commanding 20X more spend than the EHS software market,” said Luke Jacobs, CEO and cofounder of Encamp. 

“The Encamp Compliance Platform puts the E back in EHS,” he added. “By embedding AI to do the high-volume, rules-based work of environmental compliance, we are getting environmental leaders out of spreadsheets and relieving their dependency on consultants, ultimately elevating their impact for the strategic initiatives that they do best."

Traditional environmental management information systems (EMIS) are systems of record — storing historical data and generating reports — and reduce the critical role of EHS leaders to that of data entry and data analysis. Teams struggle to see what’s due, what’s done, and what’s at risk.

“When you’re in a fast-growing industry, speed is important,” said Stephanie Sparkman, director of environmental compliance at QTS Data Centers. “You tend to focus on the facility that you’re permitting at that time. Then you look up, and you have 10 more facilities to permit. Without a cohesive way of managing compliance, you’re faced with a fragmented and disparate process.”

"For too long, compliance programs have lived in spreadsheets, email chains, and the heads of people on my team. If one of them wins the lottery and walks out the door tomorrow, the calendar walks with them,” added Anne Pankey, MS, CIH, CSP and former HSE director of environmental and industrial hygiene at Ferguson. “That's not a sustainable way to run a program at scale. EHS teams need a system that holds the institutional knowledge that doesn't disappear when people do."

"When I first got into the business, we handled all environmental compliance manually,” said Paul Espenan, senior vice president of EHS&R at Diversified Energy Company. “The industry has been waiting for technology that removes the burdensome work from EHS teams, so they can focus on recognizing and managing the risk for the business, not just checklists for compliance. Reducing manual labor and wasted activity is the winning formula to elevate your team. That's what AI in environmental compliance should be doing.”

With the launch of the Encamp Compliance Platform, the era of reactive environmental management ends, replaced by a system of action that helps ensure every facility remains compliant, every deadline is met, and every risk is mitigated.
