ERM, a specialist sustainability consultancy, has entered into a strategic partnership with osapiens, a leading digital ESG platform provider.
This collaboration is aimed at empowering businesses to effectively manage, report, and leverage insights from ESG data, thereby operationalising sustainability across their operations and value chains.
The partnership brings together ERM’s advisory prowess and osapiens’ innovative AI-powered cloud platform. This synergy is designed to facilitate companies in undertaking due diligence and adhering to a myriad of ESG regulations, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), and EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
osapiens specialises in delivering software-as-a-service solutions that enable rapid, automated, and secure implementation of ESG requirements. Their platform supports efficient data collection, while ERM’s team of technical and regulatory experts ensures the integrity of the data, offering insights that feed into strategic ESG reporting and decision-making. Moreover, ERM provides the necessary strategic and technical support to help organisations utilise the collected data for informed sustainability decisions and actions.
Together, ERM and osapiens aim to enhance support for clients across various ESG data needs—from AI-driven rapid screening of suppliers’ ESG risks to intricate deforestation assessments utilising satellite and other data inputs, aiding compliance with the EUDR.
Quotes from leaders at both companies highlight the significance and expectations of this partnership. Olaf Schatteman, Global Lead for Sustainable Product & Supply Chain Services at ERM, emphasized the growing complexity of the sustainability reporting landscape and the necessity for streamlined data collection processes that not only ensure compliance but also yield actionable business insights.
