Sami joins the SGS group!

Sami, the most widely used carbon & ESG management solution in France, is proud to announce that it is joining the Swiss group SGS, the world leader in testing, inspection, and certification.

Thanks to this alliance, Sami will accelerate its international development and strengthen its investments in its platform.

Sami retains its operational autonomy and its brand while benefiting from the many synergies with the SGS group.

‍

Sami, a unique offering

‍

Since its creation in March 2020, Sami has established itself as a leader in carbon accounting and management in France. Over 1,500 companies have already chosen the Sami solution to calculate their carbon footprint, define and manage their climate strategy, and carry out their ESG reporting. The solution is also highly appreciated by many consulting firms and independents thanks to the Sami Pro partnership program, launched as early as 2022.

‍

This rapid development among SMEs and mid-sized companies has been made possible thanks to an innovative and unique approach on the market. With Sami, companies can benefit from an all-in-one offer: a powerful, flexible, and ergonomic software, recognized support from expert consultants, and certified training via Sami Academy.

‍

Sami consolidates its position in France

‍

By joining SGS, Sami consolidates its position in the French market as a trusted player in carbon & ESG management. SGS's expertise in verification and certification will notably help Sami continue its expansion towards the largest companies, initiated in 2023.

‍

This strategic rapprochement also allows Sami to strengthen its investments in product development, notably on data collection and analysis by AI and on the calculation of carbon footprint by product and by project.

‍

Sami accelerates internationally

‍

The acquisition by SGS gives Sami the opportunity to deploy its platform in several European countries as of 2026, in conjunction with SGS's local teams.

‍

This internationalization will allow the Sami platform to become a reference software worldwide, beyond its current European scope.

‍

The operation also aims, for SGS, to accelerate the deployment of its carbon accounting support and verification services worldwide, as part of its Impact Now strategy.

Tanguy Robert, co-CEO of Sami

‍

"We are very happy to join the SGS group. This is a strong signal for our customers and partners: we are positioning Sami for the long term, with the support of a major international group.

SGS has convinced us from the start thanks to a very strong common ambition, a development project that favors innovation and impact, and a lot of autonomy to continue our mission, hand in hand with SGS's local teams.

We are also eager to accelerate our international development, starting with Italy, the United Kingdom, and the Benelux countries. To be a platform that counts in the long term and that helps all companies to decarbonize, we need an international scope."

‍

Géraldine Picaud, CEO of SGS

‍

"For SGS, this operation is 100% aligned with our Impact Now strategy, which aims to extend our services in terms of sustainability. Helping companies with their carbon accounting and decarbonization strategy is a key issue for the coming years.

Acquiring an innovative software publisher like Sami is also a way to support the strong trend of digitalization in the sector. More and more, digital tools and AI will play a key role in the deployment of the services we offer to our customers. Sami has managed to build a recognized platform in France and we are convinced that we can make it a world leader in the ESG software sector."
