Sustainable Development Goals

SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production, SDG 13 – Climate Action, SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth

Company Overview

osapiens is a German enterprise software company that develops an AI-driven platform for corporate sustainability compliance and supplier intelligence. Founded in 2018 in Mannheim by Stefan Wawrzinek, Matthias Jungblut and Alberto Zamora, the company set out to give large organizations visibility beyond their direct suppliers, an area where data has traditionally been scattered across emails, spreadsheets and disconnected internal systems.

The company’s core product, the osapiens HUB, is a multi-tenant, AI-powered platform that brings supplier data, compliance obligations, carbon accounting and operational processes together on one shared data layer. The platform is organized into seven solution suites: Supplier Intelligence, Product Compliance, Carbon Management, Disclosures & Reporting, Audit & Quality Assurance, Distribution, and Maintenance & Repairs, covering regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.

osapiens is headquartered in Mannheim, Germany, and operates across Europe and the United States. In 2026, the company reached unicorn status following a Series C investment led by Decarbonization Partners, a joint venture between BlackRock and Temasek, and shortly after acquired the Nasdaq Metrio platform to expand its non-financial reporting and carbon accounting capabilities in North America. The company reports serving more than 2,500 customers worldwide.

Why These SDGs Matter

SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) applies because the Supplier Intelligence suite supports due diligence against forced labor, child labor and other labor-rights risks across multi-tier supply chains, aligning with regulations such as the EU Forced Labor Regulation and Germany’s LkSG, both of which the platform is built to support. SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) applies because the platform centralizes supplier and product data to support traceability, deforestation-free sourcing under the EUDR, and packaging compliance under the PPWR, helping companies document sustainable sourcing and production practices across their value chains. SDG 13 (Climate Action) applies because the Carbon Management suite helps companies measure, manage and disclose greenhouse gas emissions across operations, products and suppliers, supporting corporate climate reporting obligations such as the CSRD and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.

Approach & Methodology

osapiens delivers its solutions through the osapiens HUB, a multi-tenant, AI-powered platform built on a single shared data layer. Rather than requiring customers to maintain separate systems for each regulation or process, the architecture lets companies collect supplier, product and operational data once and reuse it across compliance, reporting, carbon accounting and operational workflows, intended to reduce duplicate data collection and manual effort as new regulatory requirements are added.

The platform combines internal company data with external sources, including sanctions lists and ongoing news screening, to generate risk scores for individual suppliers and flag issues such as labor-rights violations or deforestation risk. Its Agent Factory component allows customers to configure AI-driven agentic workflows for specific compliance and operational tasks, rather than relying solely on pre-built modules. The HUB Store functions as a marketplace through which additional modules and integrations can be added to the core platform.

osapiens holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management, along with information-security frameworks including ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2, reflecting a platform-engineering approach oriented around data governance, auditability and cross-regulation reuse of a single data model rather than point solutions built for individual regulations.

Market Position

osapiens operates in the enterprise supply-chain sustainability and compliance software category, serving both SMEs and large multinational enterprises across manufacturing, retail, automotive, food and other sectors, primarily in Europe with a growing presence in North America. The company has been named a Leader in IDC MarketScape reports covering sustainability management and ESG reporting, and compliance management applications, and was positioned as a Leader in Verdantix’s Green Quadrant for Supply Chain Sustainability Software. Its competitive positioning centers on offering multiple compliance and operational functions on one shared data layer, rather than as separate point solutions for individual regulations.

Natnavi Analysis

osapiens has grown from a 2018 Mannheim startup into one of Europe’s most closely watched enterprise software companies, reaching unicorn status in January 2026 on the strength of investment from BlackRock and Temasek’s Decarbonization Partners joint venture, alongside earlier backing from Goldman Sachs Alternatives and Armira Growth. Its relevance stems from timing: a wave of EU regulation, including the CSDDD, CSRD, EUDR and PPWR, has created concrete compliance obligations that many enterprises still manage through fragmented, manual processes.

The company’s core contribution is consolidating supplier, compliance and carbon data onto a single platform, reducing the duplicate data collection that has historically made multi-regulation compliance costly. Its 2026 acquisition of Nasdaq’s Metrio platform signals ambition to extend this model into the U.S. market, where non-financial reporting requirements are also expanding.

Potential limitations for prospective customers include the complexity of onboarding a large supplier network onto any centralized platform, and the fact that regulatory scope and enforcement in areas like the CSDDD and EUFLR remain subject to ongoing revision at the EU level, which may affect how features are used over time.
