ImpactOS FAQs: Everything you need to know

General questions

ImpactOS is a platform that helps companies and suppliers generate, collect, and manage sustainability data. It simplifies compliance, automates reporting, and ensures transparency across supply chains—without extra cost or complexity.

ImpactOS is designed for both large companies looking to streamline sustainability data creation and collection from their suppliers, and suppliers who need an easy, cost-free way to provide accurate sustainability data to meet buyer expectations.
ImpactOS solves the problem of data creation; without primary data being generated in the supply chain, there’s nothing to collect (whether by email, excel, or platform).

  • ImpactOS enables data creation at the source, allowing suppliers to generate the sustainability data required by their buyers.
  • The platform then automates data collection by larger orgainsations, structuring, and reporting, ensuring compliance with key regulations and standards.

For Large Companies

ImpactOS ensures compliance by generating primary data from your supply chain—so you don’t have to rely on estimates or third-party datasets. This means you get verifiable data that aligns with reporting frameworks like CSRD, CSDDD, and GHG Protocol, ensuring compliance with evolving regulations.

Traditional data collection platforms often come with high costs for suppliers, including license fees and the investment required to provide the same information across multiple customer systems. This can slow adoption, reduce data quality, and create inefficiencies. More importantly, there’s no point in collecting data that doesn’t exist—most platforms focus on gathering existing data, but many suppliers lack the capability to generate accurate sustainability data in the first place. ImpactOS solves this by enabling data creation at the source, ensuring suppliers can provide the information you actually need—without financial or administrative barriers.

ImpactOS structures sustainability data so you can track carbon emissions, supply chain risks, compliance gaps, and other key ESG metrics—helping you make informed decisions and improve sustainable business performance.

By automating data collection directly from your suppliers, ImpactOS eliminates the need for manual reporting, reduces errors, and saves time on compliance and sustainability reporting.
