The partnership combines ERM’s advisory capabilities with osapiens’ AI-powered cloud platform to help companies undertake due diligence and comply with a growing number of ESG regulations including but not limited to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).

osapiens provides software-as-a-service solutions that enable companies to implement ESG requirements quickly, automatically and securely. The platform enables quick and efficient data collection.
