Sayari and SESAMm Partner to Revolutionize ESG Risk Management in Supply Chains

New partnership equips customers with real-time intelligence from over 4 million sources to strengthen due diligence and monitoring across global supply chains.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sayari, a leader in corporate risk intelligence and supply chain transparency, today announced a new data partnership with SESAMm, a global provider of AI-driven controversy risk data. This collaboration integrates SESAMm's real-time, AI-driven controversy risk data into the Sayari platform, providing users with unprecedented insights into hidden ESG risks across global supply chains. By combining our unique datasets, we are closing the information gap on hard-to-assess private entities and their suppliers, a critical blind spot in traditional ESG and supply chain monitoring.

The partnership directly addresses the growing need for procurement and risk teams to have comprehensive insight into emerging reputational risks as global ESG compliance requirements intensify. By integrating SESAMm's data, Sayari's solution now monitors over 650,000 suppliers, allowing customers to proactively identify and mitigate risks from small, hard-to-assess private entities that are typically excluded from traditional ESG coverage.

The data partnership is powered by SESAMm's advanced AI, which analyzes content from over 4 million sources in more than 100 languages. This real-time analysis provides actionable decision intelligence that can detect red flags like human rights violations, environmental scandals, and governance failures, often days or even weeks before they surface in traditional data sets, transforming reactive risk management into strategic foresight. This powerful analysis offers a unique advantage, complementing traditional ESG metrics and strengthening due diligence and ongoing monitoring efforts. The data is available across all of Sayari's platforms, including API, bulk, and visually in both Sayari Graph and Sayari Map.

"For the first time, our customers can gain a truly holistic, interconnected view of every entity in their ecosystem, from tier-1 suppliers to hidden sub-tier partners," said Chris Brazdziunas, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Sayari. "By integrating SESAMm's real-time, AI-driven insights, we're empowering our clients to proactively identify and mitigate hidden risks on a global scale, fundamentally changing the way they approach due diligence and supply chain transparency."

"For more than a decade, we've advanced AI to reveal hidden ESG and reputational risks in companies worldwide. We're excited to partner with Sayari to bring these insights into procurement and supply chain risk management, enabling teams to detect issues earlier and address them more effectively," said Sylvain Forté, CEO and co-founder of SESAMm.

The future of risk management demands a holistic, interconnected view of every entity within an organization's ecosystem. This partnership, powered by AI-driven analysis of more than 4 million sources, lays the foundation for a comprehensive, integrated risk management solution that will revolutionize the quality, efficiency, speed, and scale at which organizations can identify and manage third-party risk. The ability to transform deep analysis into strategic foresight is the key to empowering customers to act with confidence in an increasingly complex global economy.
