Strong tailwinds
The EHSQ market is an attractive industry with solid tailwinds, and EcoOnline has identified significant potential for further growth, supported by macro drivers, such as digitalization and increased focus on sustainability and ESG, but also new and emerging risks and regulatory requirements and production standards.
EcoOnline's passion for creating innovative technology meets the growing demand for EHSQ software to include capabilities, such as Environmental, social and governance, sustainability risk management, and operational risk management as well as more stringent regulations and data management and analytical tools.
To help businesses effectively spot risk, corrective actions, and protect employees, contractors, customers, and the public, EcoOnline has developed an EHSQ software that allows the customers to drill down into the root cause of the incidents, risks, or emissions.
The listing will support EcoOnline's strategy and growth plans, including increasing market share through strategic acquisitions. Further, as a listed company, this will strengthen its overall market awareness for both clients and industry partners and improve its ability to attract, retain and motivate talented personnel.
Pareto Securities, ABG Sundal Collier, and SpareBank1 Markets acted as leading financial advisors in the process.
