“A great EHS program is built through the business — not alongside it.”
That was one of the key themes from David Metcalfe’s session at BGImpact2026 as he shared an independent market perspective on how AI is reshaping EHS, operations, engineering, and sustainability programs.
Joining Donavan Hornsby on stage, David explored how organizations can move from an “inside-out” mindset toward a more connected, outside-in approach — where AI helps teams better understand operational context, improve collaboration across functions, and turn large volumes of data into more actionable insights.
One takeaway that resonated throughout the session: AI is not just changing technology strategies — it’s changing how EHS teams engage with operations, leadership, engineering, and frontline workers across the business.
A strong discussion this morning around what it takes to move from AI experimentation to scalable operational impact.
