Sami Review (2026)
Independent review of Sami (sami.eco) for carbon and ESG reporting — France's most-used carbon 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, the most widely used carbon management solution in France with more than 1,500 corporate clients.
It pairs a Carbon Hub and ESG Hub with a collaborative data-collection platform.
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.
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.
UK-only organisations seeking a native statutory SECR template may find a UK-first platform more direct, while pan-European groups benefit from Sami's reach.
Scope & ESG coverage
Sami produces GHG Protocol-aligned 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.
SECR & UK SRS fit
Sami's GHG Protocol and CSRD support map to the standards behind UK SRS S2, and SGS's assurance heritage suits companies anticipating third-party verification.
As a France-first platform it does not offer a native UK statutory SECR template; 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, strengthening its credibility for verified reporting.
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.
