MEMBER NEWS: Arcadis and COMET announce partnership to enhance EHS&S solutions for improved risk management

Arcadis, a leading global design and consultancy organisation for natural and built assets, announces a partnership with COMET, a leading provider of risk control and assurance software. The combined strength of the partnership aims to enhance EHS&S risk management across a global client base.

In a landscape where many organisations struggle to optimise digital EHS&S solutions for resolving risks and enhancing organisational performance, Arcadis and COMET are ready to address this. By combining COMET’s intelligent, data-driven suite of analysis, audit, and investigation software, and Arcadis’s digitally enabled EHS&S expertise and services, the partnership will enable a wide-ranging client base to shine a light on past, present, and future risks – all integrated into their existing EHS&S landscape.

Placing a strong emphasis on people, data-driven software, and artificial intelligence, this partnership will promote better audits, investigations and root cause analysis to isolate and address systemic issues that have triggered incidents and underperformance. Leveraging AI-assisted technology to analyse large unstructured EHS&S datasets, enabling organisations to ‘see the unseen’ by revealing future risks and recommend preventive actions to mitigate them. This partnership will revolutionise existing safety management practices.

Tim Wolf, Vice President and Digital EHS&S Practice Lead at Arcadis, said: “The Arcadis and COMET partnership will combine the use of digital EHS&S platforms with our strong advisory services to improve our clients’ operational and organisational performance. Collaborating with COMET to integrate their product suite with our services will allow us to offer our clients a road to unlocking significantly more value from their EHS&S systems and processes.”

Mark Rushton, COMET CEO, said: “We are delighted to partner with Arcadis to bring added value to our respective clients. Both organisations share a strong commitment to delivering actionable insights that tangibly enhance operational efficiency, mitigate risks, and prioritise health and safety.”

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
