History

[edit]

EcoOnline was founded in Norway in 2001 as a provider of chemical safety software.[1] EcoOnline has expanded significantly through acquisitions, including StaySafe (2022), Alcumus’s software division (2022), Ecometrica (2023), and D4H (2025).

In 2022, EcoOnline acquired StaySafe, a UK-based specialist in lone worker safety solutions.[7] That same year, the company merged with the software division of Alcumus, supported by private equity firm Apax Partners.[8][9]

In 2023, EcoOnline acquired Ecometrica, an Edinburgh-based ESG and sustainability reporting platform.[10][11][12]

In 2025, EcoOnline acquired D4H, a Dublin-headquartered provider of crisis management and emergency response software.[13][14][15][16][17] The acquisition expanded EcoOnline’s suite to include crisis response and resilience tools.

Products and Services

[edit]

EcoOnline offers a connected suite of SaaS solutions in:

  • EHS management – health and safety software including risk assessments, incident reporting, audits, and safety monitoring.[18]
  • Chemical management – chemical inventory management, safety data sheets (SDS), COSHH management with Sypol, and substitution planning.[19]
  • Sustainability and ESG reporting – carbon accounting, net zero planning, and regulatory reporting, enhanced by the acquisition of Ecometrica.[10][12]
  • Lone worker safety – mobile app and monitoring hub, supported by the acquisition of StaySafe.[7]
  • Crisis and emergency management – crisis planning and real-time incident response coordination, expanded via the D4H acquisition.[13][15]

Research and Industry Insights

[edit]

EcoOnline publishes industry research and surveys that have been featured in media outlets across Europe and North America.

Key findings include:

  • Workplace safety gaps in North America, showing disparities between confidence and actual risk.[21]
  • Stress as a leading cause of workplace incidents in the UK and Ireland.[22]
  • Safety trends in Nordic workplaces, where happiness does not always correlate with safety.[23][24]
  • Lone worker safety, highlighting aggression risks and executive awareness issues.[25]
  • Corporate sustainability and net zero planning in the US, with most large firms preparing ahead of legislation.[26][27][28]
  • A 2024 EU CSRD Readiness Report, which found that only 37% of mid-market businesses reported being “almost ready” for EU CSRD compliance—versus 60% among enterprise firms—suggesting many mid-sized businesses may be left behind.[29]
