ERM, the world’s largest ​pure play​ sustainability consultancy, has acquired Libryo, a global cloud-based Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) regulatory intelligence platform that helps organizations to manage the different legal requirements that apply to their business in every jurisdiction.

The number and complexity of EHS regulations is growing rapidly.

The Libryo platform is the latest addition to ERM’s portfolio of digital technology solutions.

About Libryo 

Libryo was founded to ensure that everyone knows what to do for a just and sustainable world. 

The Libryo Platform is automated and cloud-based, helping organizations to know the law that applies to their business, in every jurisdiction. Law is poorly organized, changes regularly, is not searchable and is written in complicated phrases. The Libryo Platform makes it easier to know the law by filtering, configuring, and tracking unique site-specific legal registers, enabling people to quickly navigate regulatory complexity with clarity and certainty. The Libryo database is supplemented by regulatory change monitoring and notification, audit self-assessment checklists, document management capabilities and compliance action tracking. 

Founded in 2016 with headquarters in London, Libryo operates all over the world helping 14,000+ users ​in over 140​ organizations. Learn more
