• KPMG and osapiens offer companies a holistic solution for efficient ESG strategy implementation and legally compliant compliance with European sustainability directives such as CSRD 

• Cooperation combines KPMG’s ESG and regulatory expertise with osapiens’ cloud-based AI and automation tools and expertise in the ESG environment 

KPMG Germany is cooperating with the Mannheim-based ESG software provider osapiens. 

The partnership enables both companies to expand their services in the field of ESG in a complementary manner: osapiens provides the technological core of the cooperation with a cloud-based platform. With the help of the platform solution tailored to CSRD regulation, companies can collect and bundle high-quality ESG data in a central location and digitize, automate and analyze their sustainability-related processes with the help of AI. In combination with KPMG’s excellent technical and regulatory ESG advisory and audit expertise, clients can implement their sustainability strategies with a high degree of efficiency, comply with statutory due diligence requirements and ensure their non-financial reporting is legally compliant. 

“Companies are currently facing major challenges due to increasing rules and regulations in the area of ESG. They have to take responsibility for their activities and products along the entire value chain, provide evidence of this and report on it. This is a considerable task for companies, which we want to master as efficiently as possible together with our clients,” says Marc Ennemann, Head of Alliance Management at KPMG in Germany. “The osapiens platform is an important building block for us. It enables us to solve our clients’ technological challenges more easily and to work with them to focus on the legal, procedural and organizational implications.” 

“The partnership with KPMG strengthens the added value of our CSRD solution for our customers by ensuring that our application tools meet all legal requirements and are audit-proof, explains Alberto Zamora, CEO of osapiens. “The osapiens HUB for CSRD supports companies throughout the entire process, from dual materiality analysis and risk assessment to target setting and reporting. Companies can quickly and easily assess impacts, opportunities and risks using predefined or self-created templates and link and disclose these accordingly within the reporting. The main component of the solution is barrier-free data consolidation, so that all required key figures can be obtained with just a few clicks in order to reduce manual effort to a minimum.”
