Sami Review (2026)
Independent review of Sami (sami.eco) for carbon and ESG reporting — a France-based platform pairing a Carbon Hub and ESG Hub with expert advisory.
Now part of the SGS group, it suits European and French-market mid-market organisations wanting software plus hands-on support.
What it is
Sami is a Paris-headquartered all-in-one carbon and ESG platform, used by companies across France and, since its acquisition, the wider SGS group.
It pairs a Carbon Hub and ESG Hub with a collaborative data-collection platform built on the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard. 4
Compare it with other carbon reporting software for UK companies.
Alongside software, Sami provides expert support — carbon footprint assessment, climate strategy and life-cycle analysis — and in November 2025 SGS acquired a majority stake, bringing it into the group's sustainability suite. 2
Who it's for
Sami suits European and French-market mid-market organisations that want carbon and ESG reporting in one platform, backed by hands-on advisory.
It supports UK SRS 3 aligned reporting through its ISSB-compatible framework.
UK-only organisations seeking a native statutory SECR template 5may find a UK-first platform more direct, while pan-European groups benefit from Sami's reach.
Scope & ESG coverage
Sami produces GHG Protocol-aligned 4 Scope 1, 2 and 3 figures and supports CSRD and life-cycle analysis, with an ESG Hub for wider sustainability indicators.
Its collaborative data-collection tooling suits organisations reporting across both carbon and broader ESG metrics, including CDP disclosure. 6
SECR & UK SRS fit
Sami's GHG Protocol 4 and CSRD support map to the standards behind UK SRS S2 3, and Sami is now part of the SGS group. 2
As a France-first platform it does not offer a native UK statutory SECR template; 5 UK statutory output would be produced through configuration or advisory support.
SGS backing
Sami's acquisition by SGS connects its software to one of the world's largest testing, inspection and certification groups. 2
As with any platform recently brought into a larger group, UK buyers should confirm current UK support and roadmap directly.
Pricing
Sami is sold on application, with software and advisory scaled to the organisation's scope.
The software-plus-consulting model means the advisory component is part of the value — and the cost — to weigh up.
Alternatives
Organisations weighing Sami also tend to consider:
- Greenly — accessible carbon and ESG popular with mid-market across Europe
- Sweep — value-chain carbon and ESG management
- Climatise — a UK-first alternative for SECR and UK SRS-focused companies
The choice usually turns on whether you want European reach with advisory, or a UK-native statutory fit.
