Sami carbon accounting software

Sami describes itself as “a powerful software” that runs from carbon accounting to managing ESG indicators, in two hubs.

The Carbon Hub, on its English site, covers data collection, a database of more than 300,000 emission factors, AI-assisted consolidation and audit, customisable reports, action plans and reduction trajectories.

The ESG Hub covers defining issues on the ESRS, stakeholder questionnaires, scoring impacts, risks and opportunities on the EFRAG framework, an automatic double materiality matrix, and completion tracking across reports.

Around the software Sami sells services: carbon footprints, ESG strategy with CSRD and VSME reports, eco-design, and product footprints including life-cycle assessment.

SGS’s announcement describes Sami as an all-in-one climate and carbon accounting platform with consulting services, founded in 2020, with a team of 45 across France and the UK.

These are Sami’s and SGS’s statements.

Sami describes a precise and rapid measurement of emissions, an emission-factor database, and reduction trajectories built on the result.

For UK purposes the tests are the same for every tool: gross Scope 1, 2 and 3 under the GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, location-based Scope 2 as the required figure, and all fifteen Scope 3 categories considered (UK SRS S2 ¶29(a); ¶¶B30–B33).

A factor library built for the French market raises the factor question directly: which UK Government conversion factor set, and which year, is applied to UK activity.

DESNZ’s rule is that each year’s set is for activity data falling entirely or mostly within that year (2026 methodology paper ¶1.10).

Sami’s product footprint and life-cycle assessment services sit outside the corporate inventory UK SRS S2 asks for; they matter where a customer asks for product-level data.

The Scope 3 rules are on Scope 3 under UK SRS and the standard itself on UK SRS S2.

Sami lists consolidation and audit among its Carbon Hub features, using AI to speed consolidation.

Its new owner, SGS, describes itself as a testing, inspection and certification company with an ESG assurance pillar.

That is SGS’s own description, and a buyer who also wants assurance should keep the software supplier and the assurance provider’s independence in view.

In the UK no company is required to obtain sustainability assurance; listed companies in scope of the FCA rules state whether they obtained it.

In the EU, Omnibus I made CSRD assurance a limited assurance engagement (Directive (EU) 2026/470), and the assurance opinion must respect a protected supplier’s right to decline.

A customer’s request may also arrive through CDP’s supply-chain programme, which Sami does not name on the pages read.

Sami’s named strengths are EU ones, so the UK requests are where a demonstration will say most: the SECR section, the UK factor set and year, and UK SRS S2 output.

The builder beside this text lists them with their provisions; mark each as shown on your data, described only, or not yet asked.

The difference between double materiality and the UK’s single-materiality standard is set out on double materiality.
