Practical uses
- Produce carbon/ESG reports for CSRD audit.
- Collect and calculate company carbon footprint.
- Automate sustainability reporting (ESG).
Pros and cons
What Sami does especially well — and the limits to anticipate.
Pros
- French solution, #1 in France.
- CSRD/ISSB compliance automated.
- Simple collaborative data collection.
- Support by SGS (acquirer since Nov 2025).
Cons
- Pricing opaque: requires sales inquiry.
- May be oversized for very small enterprises.
- French support may be limited by SGS integration.
Sami: when it makes sense.
Sami suits SMEs under CSRD seeking compliance; for very small voluntaries, a GHG Protocol spreadsheet suffices.
Keep if
You're a SME/mid-market with CSRD obligations (200–750 emp).. You want a French solution for ESG.
Sami becomes worthwhile when
- You use it at least once a week
- The monthly cost (€75) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
You're very small (<50 emp) with no CSRD requirement.. You have a very limited budget.
Sami becomes too expensive when
- You use it less than once a month
- A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
