Description
AI in the Environmental Industry: 2026 Survey Results and Company Case Studies Webinar
Join us Friday, May 15, at 12:00 PM Pacific for an Environmental Business Journal® webcast on AI adoption, acceleration, and integration across environmental consulting and services firms.
Drawing on new findings from the recent EBJ 2026 AI Survey, we’ll unpack what’s happening inside firms today—and what it means for strategy and operations. EBJ survey results show that while over 90% of firms are using general-purpose AI tools, 40-45% of employees are still not using AI tools at all. Early adopters are reporting 10-20% average productivity gains—with leading use cases in research, proposals, and internal knowledge workflows.
On this webcast, EBJ will summarize the full survey results, and firms at different points of their AI adoption will summarize their progress and initiatives in 2026:
- Where AI is delivering real productivity and what metrics are being used
- How firms are governing risk, quality, and client-facing use
- What workflows are scaling fastest—from proposals to QA/QC
- Barriers slowing adoption, from data security to integration challenges
- What’s next: moving from pilots to enterprise-wide deployment
