Who we are and how we approach environmental, health, and safety consulting.
Evolve EHS was founded by Molly Knutson on a simple idea: environmental, health, and safety programs should be practical enough to actually follow, and thorough enough to hold up under audit.
After 20+ years leading HSE programs inside complex industrial operations, Molly started Evolve EHS to bring that same hands-on, regulation-tested approach to other organizations — working alongside your team, not around them.
A straightforward process built around your operation, not a generic template.
We start with an honest assessment of your current program — what's working, what's exposed, and what's required.
We design or refine programs, procedures, and documentation tailored to your operation and workforce.
We train your team and put systems in place so the program stays current long after the engagement ends.
