Simplifying Data Management — Smarter, Faster, Easier

Managing sustainability data should be effortless — and now, it truly is. Sprih gives you every tool you need to collect, review, and approve data seamlessly.

  • OCR-based Data Input — Multilingual: Upload multiple image or PDF-based proofs — like electricity, fossil fuel, heat, or steam bills — in any language. SustainSense automatically reads, interprets, and converts them into accurate data entries — no manual work needed.
  • Quick Bulk Entry | Powered by Smart Templates
    Handle large datasets in a snap with Monthly or Custom Facility-Wise Templates.
    Duplicate rows, attach proofs in one go, and streamline your submissions — designed for teams managing multiple facilities or metrics.
  • Collaborative Review & Feedback
    Supervisors and Admins can now add comments, tag teammates, and flag issues directly on any record — whether it’s an incorrect amount, wrong unit, or missing proof. Each tag triggers an automatic email notification, ensuring no correction slips through the cracks.
  • Data Rejection & Correction Flow
    A new rejection workflow lets Supervisors/Admins send data back for corrections — helping teams resolve issues quickly while maintaining full traceability.
  • Bulk Actions for Faster Approvals
    Managing large uploads just got easier. You can now Select All to submit or approve entire batches at once — saving hours of manual work. Member users can bulk-submit for approval, while Supervisors can bulk-approve in a single click.

Together, these enhancements make data management faster, cleaner, and more collaborative, so your team can focus on what truly matters — driving sustainability action, not administration.

Effortless Integrations — Your Data, Instantly in Sprih

Your sustainability data comes from many sources — and Sprih now meets you wherever that data resides.

  • Full Support for Custom Excel Ingestors
    No need to reformat your files anymore. Sprih now supports Custom Excel Ingestors, allowing you to upload your data as-is.
    Whether you’re using internal templates or outputs from enterprise tools — Sprih adapts to your structure, not the other way around.
  • Out-of-the-Box Compatibility with Industry Systems
    Alongside our default Sprih_Template.xlsx, we now natively support datasets from ORACLE EPM, SAP, FCM Travel, Republic Services, and EL Harvey.
    Customers like Alnylam Pharmaceuticals have already transformed their Scope 3 data workflows — with 300,000+ records seamlessly processed through these new ingestors.
  • Automated Integrations with Enterprise Platforms
    Set up direct, secure data pipelines with SharePoint or AWS S3 to automatically fetch and process sustainability data on a predefined schedule.
    For example, Arconic Corporation is automating its entire Scope 1 & 2 data ingestion via SharePoint — eliminating manual uploads entirely.

With these integrations, Sprih is evolving into a truly connected sustainability hub — effortless data flow, with no manual friction and full control.

Self-Managed Notifications — Stay Informed, Your Way

We’ve made staying in the loop completely user-driven. You now have full control over what notifications you receive and how often.

  • Personal Notification Settings: A new Notification Settings page is available under Settings → Profile → Notification Settings.
    From here, you can easily manage your email alerts — no admin intervention needed.
  • Role-Based Customization: Notification options are tailored to your user role.
    For example, Supervisors can choose whether to receive emails for:
    • Data Sent for Approval
    • Reminder Emails
    • Comments on Data Entries
    • and more.
  • This update gives every user — from data contributors to supervisors — more control, less clutter.

Renewed SOC 2 Compliance — Strengthening Trust and Security

Your data’s security is at the core of everything we build. We’re proud to share that Sprih has successfully renewed its SOC 2 compliance, reaffirming our commitment to the highest standards of data protection, privacy, and operational integrity.

This certification ensures that Sprih continues to meet rigorous benchmarks across:

  • Security — safeguarding your sustainability data from unauthorized access.
  • Availability — ensuring reliable, uninterrupted access to the platform.
  • Confidentiality — protecting sensitive organizational and environmental data.

Intensity Dashboards for Deeper Sustainability Insights

Understanding sustainability isn’t just about tracking absolute emissions — it’s about putting them in context. That’s where our upcoming Intensity Dashboards come in.

While your total emissions may rise due to business growth or higher production, intensity metrics reveal the true story — how efficiently your organization is operating and how close you are to net-zero goals.

With the new Intensity Dashboards, you’ll soon be able to measure and visualize:

  • Total Emission / Production
  • Total Emission / Revenue
  • Scope 1 & 2 Emissions / Production
  • Scope 3 Emissions / Production
  • Energy Consumption / Production
  • Define your own Custom Intensity Dashboard

These insights help you distinguish between growth-driven increases and inefficiencies, so you can focus your sustainability actions where they matter most. Stay tuned — data visualization like never before is on its way to Sprih.

GLEC Framework for Accurate Logistics Emissions

To make sustainability accounting in logistics truly accurate, Sprih is introducing support for the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework — the global standard for measuring and reporting logistics-related emissions.

The upcoming Logistics Source in Sprih will allow you to capture and calculate emissions across complex transportation networks, including:

  • Multi-leg trip accounting — track emissions across connected routes and transfer points.
  • All transport modes — Road, Rail, Air, Sea, and Inland Waterways.
  • Vehicle and service categories — refine calculations with detailed vehicle classes (e.g., LGV, HGV).

FAQs

What is the biggest engineering focus this quarter?

This quarter, the engineering team focused on making Sprih smarter, faster, and more adaptive by strengthening SustainSense, simplifying data operations, enabling seamless integrations, and improving insight generation.

How has SustainSense improved this quarter?

SustainSense now learns from: 300,000+ corporate reports 120,000+ global companies Enhanced sector mapping, deduplication, and normalized units Sharper benchmarking using the latest verified disclosures These upgrades make predictions and insights more precise, contextual, and actionable.

What is the new 50+ employee threshold in S1?

Disclosures in S1 now apply only if the company employs more than 50 employees in at least 10 of its largest countries of operation. This replaces broader thresholds and is meant to target disclosures where scale makes data more relevant.

What content was moved to the NMIG?

Voluntary or overly detailed datapoints—such as training hours by gender, parental leave data, mitigation hierarchies, and certain corruption metrics—were relocated to NMIG for optional reference. This allows companies to focus on material, legally required disclosures.

How did the S2, S3, and S4 standards change?

The three standards were harmonized. Disclosure Requirements 2 and 3 (engagement and remediation) were merged, redundant datapoints removed, and SBM-3 materiality assessments integrated into ESRS 2. Word counts and datapoints dropped significantly for all three.

What were the major changes in S1 (Own Workforce)?

Disclosures were narrowed across nearly all metrics. Gender and age breakdowns were reduced, parental leave replaced with maternity leave, fatalities removed from days lost, and privacy considerations for persons with disabilities were strengthened.

What changed in the Governance (G1) pillar?

G1 retained core elements like anti-corruption and whistleblower disclosures but removed voluntary datapoints and redundant metrics. Key changes include clarifying “functions-at-risk,” streamlining lobbying disclosures, and focusing on confirmed corruption incidents only.

Are there new structures or frameworks in G1?

Yes. G1-1 to G1-6 were restructured to align with the Policy:Action:Target (PAT) architecture. These now clearly link with General Disclosures (GDR-P, GDR-A, GDR-T) for consistency and cross-referencing within the ESRS system.

Is the materiality assessment requirement still included?

The standalone SBM-3 disclosure requirements were removed from S2–S4 and integrated into ESRS 2 General Disclosures. Materiality remains critical but is now consolidated and streamlined for efficiency.

What are the next steps for companies and stakeholders?

EFRAG has launched a public consultation and will conduct field tests in September 2025 to evaluate practical implementation—especially for metrics like adequate wages. Final adoption of the revised standards will reflect the outcomes of this feedback process.
