An Interview
with Peter White,
Envirosuite CEO:
‘We are Well-
Placed to be the
World’s Leading
Environmental
Management
Technology Used
as a Key Tool for
Improvement in
Many Different
Industries and Cities’
“We have driven to be a reliable solution for
each of our clients as they deal with unique
environmental challenges on a daily basis. We
have always stayed true to this and we know
this is what sets us apart from the rest.”
B
usinesses of all types and
sizes have environmental
issues to consider - both
in a social and operational
perspective. The world gets
smaller and better connected
every year. As populations grow,
industries and communities
increasingly collide. This
means regulations are only
getting tighter, risks higher, and
scrutiny more public.
In light of the foregoing, we’re
thrilled to present Envirosuite.
The company operates as an
environmental technology
company and is publicly listed
on the Australian Securities
Exchange (ASX). Their ground-
breaking platform provides
environmental intelligence
for operational management
to heavy industry and cities.
It offers comprehensive real-
time monitoring, investigative
and predictive environmental
management capabilities
through an intuitive cloud-
based interface.
Envirosuite was incorporated
in 2008 and is headquartered
in Sydney, Australia. It has
additional office locations
in Brisbane, Australia; San
Francisco, California; Montreal,
Canada; Glasgow, UK; Madrid,
Spain; and Santiago, Chile.
Peter White,
Envirosuite CEO,
spoke exclusively to
The Silicon Review.
Below is an excerpt.
Why was the company
set up? And how did you
expand your company
and its offerings over the
years?
108
The Envirosuite business
spun out of the leading
Australian consulting and
technology business, Pacific
Environment, after several years
of product development and
commercialization.
The Envirosuite vision, now
the reality, was to encapsulate
the intellectual property and
extensive environmental
expertise of the company’s
environmental engineers
and atmospheric scientists
in a smarter Software-as-
a-Service platform. It goes
beyond standard compliance
reporting to provide customer
organizations with greater
environmental and operational
intelligence.
Envirosuite provides real-
time and predictive forecast
information for operational
planning and decision support,
resulting in operational
efficiency improvements,
enhanced environmental
performance and better
risk management for its
customers, which include
global organizations in
mining, industrial, wastewater
treatment, and environmental
regulatory agencies.
How successful was your
first project roll on?
Share the experience.
Our first project was a real-time
modeling and fence-line (site
boundary) monitoring solution
for a heavy industrial customer.
The project was successfully
delivered and our initial
customer remains a subscriber
to the Envirosuite system
today.
System implementation times
were much longer in our early
days than they are today,
however this is no longer
a concern due to dedicated
software development work to
create efficiencies.
