osapiens Secures $100M Series C at $1.1B Valuation for ESG Compliance Platform

Mannheim, Germany – ESG compliance platform osapiens has secured a $100 million Series C investment in a round funded solely by Decarbonization Partners, the sustainability-focused joint venture between BlackRock and Temasek. The funding values the German regulatory technology company at $1.1 billion, positioning it among Europe's most valuable climate tech startups.

Founded in 2020, osapiens provides enterprise software that automates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) compliance workflows. Its HESTIA platform enables companies to collect, analyze, and report sustainability data required under regulations like the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and upcoming German Supply Chain Act. The system integrates with existing ERP software to track carbon emissions, labor practices, and supply chain risks across global operations.

The investment comes as regulatory pressure intensifies globally:

• The EU's CSRD now affects over 50,000 companies
• California's climate disclosure laws set 2026 deadlines
• SEC climate rules face legal challenges but signal regulatory momentum

"This funding validates our mission to transform compliance from a cost center to strategic advantage," said osapiens CEO Marc Albers. "We'll expand our AI-driven risk prediction capabilities and establish North American operations to meet growing demand."

Decarbonization Partners' exclusive participation highlights institutional investors' focus on sustainability infrastructure. The $1.4 billion fund targets companies enabling decarbonization, with previous investments in carbon accounting and green hydrogen. Osapiens represents their first major regulatory technology bet.

Market analysts note the funding reflects explosive growth in ESG compliance software, projected to reach $10.6 billion by 2027 (MarketsandMarkets data). Competitors like Persefoni and Watershed have raised significant rounds, but osapiens differentiates through automated regulatory updates and supply chain mapping.

The capital will accelerate development of real-time compliance monitoring features and expand industry-specific modules for manufacturing, energy, and finance sectors. With over 400 enterprise clients including BASF and Merck, osapiens plans to double its 300-person team within 18 months.

As global sustainability reporting deadlines loom, this investment signals that regulatory technology has become mission-critical infrastructure for multinational corporations navigating complex compliance landscapes.
