What does carbon data cost you today — and what do you save with osapiens.
50% of the internal effort and 50% of the external spend on carbon data are removed by automation — and every line shows exactly how it was calculated.
What you'll need — the numbers behind your value case
These are the inputs behind the calculation. Real figures give the most accurate result — where a number isn't known, a best estimate works fine.
FTEs working on CCF — including everyone collecting data at the sites
Annual external spend: GHG verification, CDP/SBTi support, Big 4 assurance
Scope 3: number of suppliers, current response rate, FTEs chasing supplier data
Whether financing is sustainability-linked (SLL / SLB)
Why it matters: these numbers define the size of the problem — and they are the basis your management will ask about anyway.

Size of the problem
Factories, offices, plants — anything with its own emission data. This defines the collection complexity and the scope of the rollout.
sites
Internal effort & external spend
The reporting team plus everyone at the sites who collects, cleans and sends emission data. It's usually far more people than expected — worth counting them all.
FTE
GHG Protocol verification, CDP support, SBTi validation, Big 4 assurance prep, Accenture/Deloitte support. Often spread across several budgets and easy to underestimate.

Supplier data
Purchased goods & services — usually the biggest category by emissions and the most painful to collect.
suppliers
Industry average without a portal: 20–35%. With the osapiens supplier portal this typically rises towards 70% — every point converts estimates into auditable primary data.

Supplier-reported data vs. spend-based estimates. Higher primary share = more credible footprint = investor and financing benefit.

Scope 3 effort
People chasing suppliers, cleaning responses, reconciling spreadsheets — the Excel chaos everyone wants to get rid of.

More credible footprint. Raising the primary-data share converts estimates into auditable supplier data — what investors, auditors and banks actually trust.
Better refinancing terms. Companies without credible carbon data pay an estimated 15–25 basis points more on their loan spread. With carbon under control, your next SLL / SLB negotiation starts from a stronger position.
Deliberately not priced in — your CFO will do this math.
Market access secured. Procurement teams increasingly require verified carbon data. Unverified data means exclusion from tenders — lost revenue no calculator needs to prove.
One data model, every framework. CSRD, CDP, SBTi, ISSB served from a single source of truth instead of separate reporting cycles.
Happier suppliers. Suppliers reuse their osapiens portal account across all their customers — answering once instead of filling twenty different spreadsheets.
