Enhesa is a global regulatory intelligence company. For more than 40 years, Enhesa’s in-house team of legal experts and toxicologists has tracked, interpreted, and delivered regulatory content so that large enterprises can operate across multiple countries without building that capability themselves. The company covers EHS compliance, chemical and product regulations, and corporate sustainability obligations — giving compliance, regulatory affairs, and sustainability teams a single source of accurate, up-to-date regulatory intelligence across 400+ jurisdictions. Half of the Global Fortune 500 rely on Enhesa.

Enhesa covers four domains: environmental health and safety (EHS) compliance, chemical and substance regulations, product safety requirements, and corporate sustainability. Within each domain, Enhesa tracks regulatory change across 400+ jurisdictions, from OSHA and US EPA rules to EU REACH, CSRD, China NMPA, and country-specific requirements across Asia Pacific, Latin America, and beyond. Coverage is updated continuously by 160+ in-house experts.

Enhesa covers 400+ jurisdictions worldwide. That includes national-level regulations and, in many countries, sub-national requirements at the state, provincial, or local level. For context, the nearest competitor covers fewer than 100 countries. For enterprises operating across 20 or more countries, the depth of Enhesa’s jurisdictional coverage is typically the primary reason they choose the platform over regional or single-domain alternatives.

Yes. Chemical Intelligence and Product Intelligence are two of Enhesa’s four product lines. Chemical Intelligence covers substance assessment, restricted substance monitoring, supply chain compliance, and safety data sheet (SDS) authoring – spanning regulations including EU REACH, US TSCA, K-REACH, China new chemical substance regulations, and hundreds of jurisdiction-specific chemical requirements.

Product Intelligence covers the product safety frameworks companies face when they enter new markets: EU CE marking, US FDA requirements, UK MDR, China NMPA, India BIS, and equivalent regimes across 400+ jurisdictions. Both product lines draw on the same expert-authored regulatory content as Enhesa’s EHS and sustainability coverage.

Enhesa’s Corporate Sustainability product line tracks mandatory ESG and sustainability regulations, not voluntary frameworks or rating agency requirements, but the legal obligations that carry real compliance risk. That includes the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), SEC climate disclosure rules, ISSB standards, and GRI reporting requirements, as well as the evolving ESG regulatory landscape across Enhesa’s full 400+ jurisdiction coverage.

Enhesa applies the same expert-authored, continuously updated regulatory intelligence model to sustainability that it uses for EHS and chemical compliance. For companies preparing CSRD disclosures or advising boards on ESG regulatory exposure, Enhesa provides structured, audit-ready intelligence rather than generic ESG data aggregation.

Enhesa delivers regulatory content in 60+ languages. In-country regulatory experts author and interpret content in the local legal language before it is made available through the platform. This matters because regulatory text is not always directly translatable – a requirement that reads one way in English may carry different obligations in its original German, Mandarin, or Portuguese form. Enhesa’s native-language coverage is part of what distinguishes it from providers that rely on machine translation of regulatory source documents.

Enhesa’s regulatory content is authored by 160+ in-house legal experts and toxicologists based across 40+ countries. These experts monitor official regulatory sources – government gazettes, agency publications, legislative registers, and interpret changes in the context of each jurisdiction’s legal framework.

Enhesa uses AI to accelerate workflows and surface relevant changes, but the underlying regulatory intelligence is written and verified by the in-house expert team. That distinction is important for companies where compliance decisions carry legal or financial risk.

Enhesa primarily serves large multinational enterprises across highly regulated industries: food and beverage, industrial manufacturing, chemicals, technology, consumer goods, automotive, healthcare and medical devices, energy, and financial services. The common factor across these industries is a significant and growing regulatory compliance burden across multiple countries.

Enhesa is used by half of the Global Fortune 500, with particular concentration in sectors where product, chemical, EHS, and sustainability obligations overlap – such as consumer goods companies managing supply chain chemical compliance alongside site-level EHS requirements and CSRD reporting.

Enhesa is a regulatory intelligence platform, not a consultancy. The company provides expert-authored regulatory content delivered through software, not managed compliance services.

Customers use Enhesa’s platform with their own in-house compliance, regulatory affairs, and EHS teams; Enhesa provides the regulatory content those teams need to do their jobs. This is an important distinction: companies that want a third party to manage their compliance work typically work with consultancies or managed-service providers. Companies that want to scale and standardise their in-house compliance function, with access to 400+ jurisdictions and 60+ languages of expert-authored regulatory content — use Enhesa.

EHS management platforms like Intelex and Cority are built for operational workflows: tracking incidents, managing audits, assigning corrective actions, and recording compliance tasks. They are excellent at organising what your team does. What they don’t provide is the regulatory content your team needs to know what to do.

Enhesa is the regulatory intelligence layer that sits alongside or inside those platforms. Cority is a confirmed Enhesa integration partner, and most major EHS platforms either partner with regulatory content providers or leave that gap for customers to fill themselves. Using Enhesa alongside your existing EHS platform means your incident and audit workflows are driven by accurate, up-to-date regulatory requirements rather than whatever your team was able to monitor manually.

Global enterprises face regulatory requirements across hundreds of jurisdictions, in dozens of languages, across environmental, chemical, product, and sustainability domains. Monitoring that landscape manually, or stitching together regional providers, creates gaps. Gaps create risk.

Enhesa gives compliance, regulatory affairs, and EHS teams a single source of expert-authored regulatory intelligence across 400+ jurisdictions, updated continuously by 160+ in-house legal experts and toxicologists. Half of the Global Fortune 500 use Enhesa because the cost of a regulatory finding, whether a fine, a market access delay, or a forced product recall, consistently exceeds the cost of the subscription.

Accuracy comes from having in-country experts author and verify regulatory content rather than relying on automated aggregation. Enhesa’s 160+ in-house legal experts and toxicologists are based across 40+ countries. They monitor official government and agency sources directly, interpret regulatory changes in local legal context, and update the platform continuously as requirements change.

Enhesa also uses AI to accelerate change detection and flag updates across its 400+ jurisdiction coverage, but every substantive regulatory interpretation goes through the expert team before reaching customers. That two-layer approach, AI for speed and experts for accuracy, is what makes Enhesa defensible in an audit context

Enhesa’s regulatory content is authored by 160+ in-house legal experts and toxicologists based across 40+ countries. These experts monitor official regulatory sources, including government gazettes, agency publications, and legislative registers, and interpret changes in the context of each jurisdiction’s legal framework.

Content is not scraped, aggregated from third parties, or generated by AI alone. Enhesa uses AI to accelerate workflows and surface relevant changes, but the underlying regulatory intelligence is written and verified by the in-house expert team. That distinction matters for companies where compliance decisions carry legal or financial risk.

Non-compliance risk most often comes from one of three sources: a regulatory change your team didn’t see, a requirement in a jurisdiction your existing tools don’t cover, or an interpretation that was technically correct in one market but wrong in another.

Enhesa addresses all three directly. Its 160+ in-house experts continuously monitor 400+ jurisdictions and flag changes relevant to your sites, products, and supply chains. Coverage extends to sub-national requirements in many countries, where national-level tools regularly miss state, provincial, or local obligations. And because content is authored by experts who understand local legal context, not translated from source documents, the interpretations customers act on are reliable.

The challenge with board-level reporting on regulatory risk is that the underlying data is often fragmented: different tools for different jurisdictions, manual tracking in spreadsheets, no consistent methodology across EHS, chemical, and sustainability obligations.

Enhesa gives compliance and regulatory affairs teams a single, standardised view of regulatory risk across all sites, products, and markets. That consistency is what makes reporting to leadership credible. Rather than aggregating incomplete information from multiple sources, teams can report against a single source of truth covering 400+ jurisdictions, with horizon-scanning that identifies upcoming regulatory changes before they become compliance deadlines.

Enhesa uses AI to accelerate two things: detecting regulatory change across a large volume of official sources, and surfacing the changes most relevant to a customer’s specific sites, products, and jurisdictions.

What AI doesn’t do at Enhesa is author the regulatory intelligence customers act on. That remains the work of 160+ in-house legal experts and toxicologists. The distinction matters because AI working from public regulatory text can summarise what a regulation says. It takes expert judgment to determine what it means for a specific product, facility, or supply chain in a given jurisdiction. Half of the Global Fortune 500 won’t base compliance decisions on AI-generated regulatory interpretation alone, and Enhesa is built on that premise.

Enhesa’s horizon-scanning capability is designed to surface regulatory changes before they become compliance deadlines. That typically means tracking proposals, consultations, draft legislation, and agency guidance that will harden into enforceable requirements, often 12 to 24 months or more before they take effect.

The value of early visibility isn’t just knowing a regulation is coming. It’s having time to adjust product formulations, update site-level procedures, revise supply chain requirements, or build a CSRD disclosure process before the deadline creates pressure. Enhesa’s in-house experts monitor the full legislative lifecycle in each jurisdiction, from early-stage consultation through to enforcement, so customers are never reacting to changes that were visible long in advance.

Legal databases like LexisNexis and Westlaw provide access to source legal text: statutes, case law, agency guidance, and legislative history. They are built for legal research, not operational compliance management.

Enhesa starts where legal databases end. Rather than providing raw legal text for your team to interpret, Enhesa’s in-house experts interpret that text and deliver the compliance obligations that flow from it, mapped to your specific sites, products, substances, and markets. The output is not a library of regulatory documents but a structured, continuously updated view of what your organisation is required to do, and when, across 400+ jurisdictions. For global compliance teams that need to act on regulatory intelligence rather than research it, that difference is significant.

Enhesa works alongside your existing EHS software. The two serve different functions.

EHS platforms manage the operational layer of compliance: workflows, audits, incident records, task assignments. Enhesa provides the regulatory content layer: what requirements apply to your sites, what has changed, and what is coming. Cority is a confirmed Enhesa integration partner, and most major EHS platforms are designed to connect with regulatory content providers rather than build that content themselves. Customers typically run Enhesa alongside Cority, Sphera, VelocityEHS, or Enablon, using each for what it does best.

Regulatory fines and penalties most commonly follow from one of two scenarios: a requirement your team didn’t know about, or a requirement your team knew about but couldn’t evidence compliance with.

Enhesa addresses the first by covering 400+ jurisdictions with continuously updated, expert-authored regulatory content. It addresses the second by providing structured, auditable compliance intelligence that teams can use to demonstrate their obligations were identified and acted on. While no platform eliminates compliance risk entirely, the companies most exposed to regulatory penalties are typically those monitoring manually, relying on regional tools with jurisdictional gaps, or discovering changes after they take effect.

Enhesa is built for large multinational enterprises, typically companies with operations across 20 or more countries, 10,000 or more employees, and a dedicated compliance function. Half of the Global Fortune 500 are Enhesa customers.

The value proposition scales with regulatory complexity. A company operating in five countries with a small compliance team and limited cross-border obligations will find regional or lower-cost alternatives sufficient. A company managing site-level EHS compliance, chemical and product regulatory requirements, and CSRD obligations across dozens of markets needs the jurisdictional depth, language coverage, and expert interpretation that Enhesa provides. The common signal that a company is ready for Enhesa is when manual monitoring or multi-vendor stitching starts creating gaps that internal teams can no longer close.

Compliance monitoring is the process of tracking what regulations exist, what is changing, and what will apply to your organisation in future. It answers the question: what do we need to comply with?

Compliance management is the operational process of ensuring your organisation actually meets those requirements: assigning tasks, running audits, recording evidence, tracking corrective actions, and reporting on status. It answers the question: are we complying?

Enhesa sits firmly in the monitoring side. The platform tells you what regulations apply to your sites, products, and supply chains, what has changed, and what is coming. Operational platforms like Cority, Sphera, and VelocityEHS handle the management side. The two are complementary, and most large enterprises need both. Enhesa integrates with major EHS management platforms so the regulatory content flowing into your operational workflows stays accurate and current.

Enhesa’s Corporate Sustainability product line tracks mandatory ESG and sustainability regulations, not voluntary frameworks or rating agency requirements, but the legal obligations that carry real compliance risk. That includes CSRD, SEC climate disclosure rules, ISSB standards, and GRI reporting requirements, as well as the evolving ESG regulatory landscape across Enhesa’s full jurisdictional coverage.

Enhesa applies the same expert-authored, continuously updated regulatory intelligence model to sustainability that it uses for EHS and chemical compliance. For companies preparing CSRD disclosures or advising boards on ESG regulatory exposure, Enhesa provides structured, audit-ready intelligence rather than generic ESG data aggregation. You can also explore sustainability compliance as a specific challenge here.

Enhesa provides regulatory intelligence across four domains, each delivered as a distinct product line.

• EHS Intelligence tracks site-level environmental, health, and safety requirements across more than 400 jurisdictions, covering everything from OSHA and EU OSH Framework obligations to country and state-specific EHS requirements. Within EHS Intelligence, tools include Compliance Intelligence, Regulatory Baseline, Regulatory Forecaster, and Regulatory Guides.
• Chemical Intelligence covers substance restrictions and assessments, supply chain compliance via Supply Chain Connect, and Chemical Research for toxicological and hazard data.
• Product Intelligence monitors the product safety requirements that apply when you sell into new markets, and includes a Regulatory Database, Safety Data Sheets, Chemical Watch News and Insight, and Professional Development programmes.
• Corporate Sustainability covers mandatory ESG obligations through a Requirement Center, Sustainability Forecaster, and Legal Foundations library.

All four product lines are built on a shared platform and draw on the same expert-authored content model. See all solutions in one place.

Enhesa is primarily designed for large multinational enterprises: organisations with operations across multiple countries, significant headcount, and a dedicated compliance function. Half of the Global Fortune 500 are Enhesa customers.

The platform’s value scales with regulatory complexity. The broader your geographic footprint and the more domains your compliance team needs to cover, the more Enhesa’s depth justifies the investment. For companies operating in fewer than five countries with limited cross-border regulatory exposure, regional or lower-cost alternatives may be more appropriate.

A single product line is usually the right starting point if your compliance exposure is concentrated in one domain. The practical signal is fragmentation. If your compliance team is currently using different tools or manual processes for different domains, and struggling to maintain a consistent view of risk across all of them, that is usually the point at which a multi-product-line approach pays for itself. Explore all solutions or speak to the team to map your needs.

Enhesa goes beyond regulatory data. Alongside expert-authored regulatory content, change alerts, and horizon-scanning tools, Enhesa supports customers with onboarding and platform training to make sure teams get up and running quickly and get the most from the solution from day one.

For organisations in the product and chemical compliance space, Product Intelligence includes a Professional Development membership that gives enterprise-wide access to the full Chemical Watch Events and Training programme, covering regulatory topics, industry developments, and professional upskilling alongside the platform itself.

For teams across all product lines, Enhesa’s professional services are available to provide deeper support, whether that is implementation guidance, bespoke training, or ongoing expert assistance tailored to your organisation’s needs.

A regulatory forecaster is a tool that tracks regulatory proposals, consultations, and draft legislation before they become enforceable requirements, giving organisations advance visibility of changes that will affect their compliance obligations.

Enhesa offers this capability in two product lines. Regulatory Forecaster within EHS Intelligence lets organisations anticipate new EHS requirements and adapt operations while there is still time to prepare. The Sustainability Forecaster within Corporate Sustainability performs the same function for ESG obligations.

Compliance intelligence is the structured, interpreted regulatory information that tells an organisation what it is required to do, in which jurisdictions, and when. It sits between raw legal text and operational compliance management: further interpreted than a legal database, more granular and current than a periodic regulatory update, and more structured than what an internal team can produce through manual monitoring.

Enhesa’s Compliance Intelligence tool delivers this through a platform that combines expert-authored regulatory content, continuous monitoring, and change-detection tools that surface relevant updates to the right teams. Content is authored and verified by 160+ in-house legal experts and toxicologists, organised by jurisdiction, subject matter, and product line, and updated as requirements change.

Enhesa delivers regulatory intelligence primarily through a web-based platform that compliance, regulatory affairs, EHS, and sustainability teams access directly. The platform provides regulatory content, change alerts, horizon-scanning tools, and structured views of obligations organised by site, jurisdiction, and subject matter.

For organisations that need to integrate regulatory content into existing EHS management systems, Enhesa supports integrations with major platforms. Cority is a confirmed integration partner, and Enhesa’s content is designed to work alongside the operational workflows in platforms like Sphera, VelocityEHS, and Enablon. Explore all solutions or speak to the team about integration options for your specific setup.

Yes. Enhesa integrates with major EHS management platforms. Cority is a confirmed integration partner, and Enhesa’s regulatory content is designed to complement the operational workflows in platforms like Sphera, VelocityEHS, and Enablon rather than replace them.

EHS platforms manage audits, incidents, and task workflows. Enhesa provides the regulatory content that drives those workflows, keeping the requirements your platform tracks accurate and current. For organisations already using an EHS management system, adding Enhesa removes the manual step of monitoring regulatory change and feeding it into the platform separately.

Enhesa’s Corporate Sustainability product line covers the mandatory regulatory obligations that sit under the ESG umbrella. Current coverage includes CSRD, SEC climate disclosure rules, ISSB sustainability disclosure standards, and GRI reporting requirements, as well as jurisdiction-specific sustainability obligations across Enhesa’s global coverage.

The focus is on legally enforceable requirements rather than voluntary frameworks or rating agency criteria. As sustainability regulation continues to expand globally, including through supply chain due diligence laws, deforestation regulations, and product-level environmental requirements, Enhesa’s coverage extends alongside it.

Enhesa works with customers on a subscription basis, giving your team continuous access to regulatory content, updates, and platform tools across whichever product lines you subscribe to. Membership includes onboarding support to get your team set up, ongoing platform access as regulations change, and dedicated account management throughout.

For organisations in the product and chemical compliance space, Professional Development membership through Product Intelligence adds enterprise-wide access to the Chemical Watch Events and Training programme alongside the platform itself. You can explore membership options on the pricing page or speak to the team for a full breakdown of what is included.

Yes. Enhesa offers product demonstrations so you can see the platform in action before committing. A demo is also a good opportunity to talk through your specific regulatory challenges and understand which solutions are the right fit.

Enhesa works with large enterprises whose regulatory footprints naturally evolve over time, whether through acquisitions, geographic expansion, or changes in product portfolio. Contract flexibility and the process for adjusting your subscription are best discussed directly with your account manager or the Enhesa team at the point of signing. If your circumstances change during a subscription period, your account manager is the right first contact to explore your options.

Enhesa is primarily built for large multinational enterprises, and its pricing reflects the depth of coverage that comes with that. For smaller organisations or non-profits with specific regulatory intelligence needs, the best approach is to contact the team directly to discuss your situation. Enhesa can advise honestly on whether the platform is the right fit and what options may be available. Get in touch here.

The right solution depends on your organisation’s specific regulatory footprint and the product lines you need. The pricing page gives a useful overview of how the options are structured, and the free regulatory footprint report is a good way to understand your compliance exposure before speaking to the team. From there, Enhesa can put together a proposal tailored to your actual requirements.

The specifics of data retention, export, and offboarding are governed by your subscription agreement and are best confirmed with Enhesa’s team before or at the point of signing. If you have questions about data handling at the end of a contract, your account manager is the right person to speak to.

You can start with the pricing page for an overview of the options, or request a demo to speak with the team directly. They’ll talk through your regulatory challenges, map them to the right solutions, and provide a proposal based on your organisation’s needs.

Enhesa customers receive dedicated account management throughout their subscription. Your account manager is your main point of contact for getting the most from the platform, handling any issues that arise, and helping your team adapt as your regulatory needs evolve.

Beyond account management, Enhesa’s expert team is on hand to support with regulatory questions, and customers have access to platform training to make sure everyone using the solution is confident doing so.

You can request a demo directly through the Enhesa website. Use this link to get in touch with the team and someone will follow up to arrange a time that works for you.

A demo is tailored to your organisation rather than a generic walkthrough. You can expect the team to focus on the product lines most relevant to your compliance challenges, show how the platform handles the jurisdictions you operate in, and walk through the tools your team would use day to day.

It’s also a chance to ask questions about implementation, integration with your existing systems, and what onboarding looks like. Coming with a clear sense of your biggest compliance pain points will help make the most of the session.

Yes. Part of the onboarding process involves configuring the platform around your organisation’s specific sites, jurisdictions, and subject matter areas, so that the regulatory content and alerts your team sees are relevant from the start rather than requiring extensive manual filtering.

The specifics of what’s possible at setup are worth discussing during the demo, as the level of configuration available varies across product lines.

Yes. Enhesa customers are assigned a dedicated account manager who stays with you throughout your subscription. Account managers are consistently cited by customers as one of the strongest parts of the Enhesa experience, providing continuity, responsiveness, and genuine knowledge of your organisation’s compliance setup over time.

Enhesa monitors regulatory sources continuously, so when significant regulatory developments occur, the platform surfaces them as updates and change alerts for the jurisdictions and subject areas relevant to your organisation. You’re not waiting for a scheduled update cycle.

For developments with wider implications, Enhesa’s expert team produces analysis and commentary to help customers understand what a change means in practice, not just that it has happened. Your account manager is also a direct line of contact if an urgent development needs immediate attention.
