About
Coolset is an ESG and supply chain compliance platform built for compliance-first teams operating under changing regulation and increasing scrutiny.
The platform supports ESG, compliance, procurement and supply chain teams in managing Scope 1–3 emissions and meeting regulatory requirements across CSRD, EUDR, and EcoVadis. It brings carbon management, ESG reporting and supply chain due diligence into a unified platform, replacing fragmented tools and manual workflows.
Coolset is designed for teams with limited capacity and little room for error. Workflows are structured around regulatory requirements, with guided templates, built-in logic, AI autofills, linked evidence and clear audit trails. Automation reduces manual effort and inconsistency, while seamless collaboration and stakeholder engagement support seamless data collection and review across internal teams and suppliers.
Market drivers
Sustainability expectations continue to be shaped by a combination of regulation, market pressure and risk management.
In the EU, frameworks such as CSRD, EU Taxonomy, EUDR and CBAM are pushing sustainability deeper into corporate reporting and supply chain operations. At the same time, regulatory adjustments and delays, including those introduced through the Omnibus proposal, have created uncertainty around timing and scope. Many teams are expected to stay prepared without a stable regulatory baseline.
Market pressure has not eased. Large enterprises, financial institutions and customers continue to request emissions data, traceability and evidence of ESG controls from suppliers. Limited assurance of ESG data is becoming common practice, even where full reporting obligations are not yet in force.
This combination has shifted how teams operate. The emphasis is increasingly on execution: having emissions data, supplier information and controls in place that can be reused, reviewed and extended over time.
Impact
Growing companies and mid-market enterprises play a significant role in Europe’s sustainability transition, particularly through their position in supply chains.
Coolset helps these companies meet compliance expectations without relying on ad-hoc or manual reporting. By providing structured workflows for emissions measurement, ESG reporting and supply chain compliance, the platform reduces operational burden and improves consistency and traceability.
