• New UK platform combines digital carbon tracking with 30+ years of sustainability expertise to support end-to-end decarbonisation
• Targets SMEs through to large enterprises across sectors under rising regulatory and reporting pressure
• Aligns emissions tracking and target-setting with SBTi frameworks, strengthening governance and investor-grade reporting

In London, SGS and Sami have launched a new decarbonisation platform designed to help businesses move beyond fragmented carbon reporting and turn compliance into measurable business value.

The platform enters a UK market where regulatory scrutiny, investor expectations and supply chain requirements are intensifying. Companies are under pressure to quantify emissions accurately, align with global frameworks and demonstrate credible transition plans. Against this backdrop, the joint offering positions itself as a practical tool to shift carbon management from a reporting burden to a strategic lever.

Designed for organisations of all sizes, the platform supports sectors ranging from manufacturing and construction to agri-food, retail, logistics, healthcare and the public sector. It integrates automated data capture with detailed emissions analysis, enabling companies to identify carbon hotspots and set science-based targets aligned with SBTi standards.

Bridging Data Gaps and ESG Execution

At its core, the platform addresses a persistent challenge in ESG implementation: fragmented data systems and manual processes that limit decision-making.

By combining Sami’s carbon management software with SGS’s global sustainability advisory network, the solution offers a full lifecycle approach. This spans initial diagnostics and action planning through to performance tracking and certification. The aim is to streamline carbon accounting while embedding it into broader operational and financial strategies.

Laura Berns, Product Manager, Climate Change Programme, SGS, said: “By combining SGS’s sustainability expertise with Sami’s digital platform, we can help businesses move beyond fragmented carbon data and take a more structured, practical approach to carbon accounting, decarbonisation, and ESG management. It gives organisations clearer visibility of emissions, stronger alignment with recognised standards and the confidence to turn reporting into meaningful action.”

The platform’s architecture reflects a broader shift in ESG governance, where accurate, auditable data is becoming central to risk management, regulatory compliance and capital allocation.

From Compliance to Strategic Value

For Sami, the UK launch represents a push to reposition carbon management as a driver of operational and financial performance rather than a compliance exercise.

Tanguy Robert, Co-founder and co-CEO, Sami, commented: “We created Sami to turn carbon complexity into a strategic advantage. By launching in the UK with SGS, we’re empowering businesses to move from manual processes and disconnected data to a simple, smart and impactful way of managing their carbon footprint, delivering concrete, measurable results while aligning sustainability with their core business goals.”

The company reports that its platform is already used by more than 2,000 organisations across Europe. Beyond emissions tracking, it highlights cost reduction, talent attraction and customer loyalty as tangible benefits tied to improved sustainability performance.

This framing reflects a growing consensus among investors and corporate leaders that climate performance is increasingly linked to competitiveness. Firms that can demonstrate credible decarbonisation pathways are better positioned to access capital, meet procurement requirements and maintain stakeholder trust.

Implications for Executives and Investors

For C-suite leaders, the launch reinforces the urgency of integrating ESG data into core business systems. Carbon reporting is no longer a standalone function. It is becoming embedded in financial disclosures, operational planning and supply chain management.

The UK market, in particular, is evolving quickly. Regulatory frameworks are tightening, while large corporates are extending emissions reporting requirements across their value chains. Smaller firms, often with limited internal capacity, face growing pressure to respond.

Platforms that combine automation, standardised methodologies and external verification are likely to play a central role in closing this gap. They offer a route to scale ESG capabilities without building large in-house teams.

A Broader Shift in ESG Infrastructure

The SGS-Sami collaboration reflects a wider transformation in the ESG ecosystem. Traditional advisory services are increasingly being paired with digital platforms to deliver continuous, data-driven insights rather than periodic assessments.

For global markets, this signals a move toward more standardised, transparent and comparable emissions data. That evolution is critical for investors seeking to assess climate risk and for policymakers aiming to track progress against net-zero commitments.

As carbon disclosure requirements expand across jurisdictions, solutions that combine technical expertise with scalable technology are likely to define the next phase of corporate decarbonisation.
