Hot ITem Conclusion, a specialist in fact-based improvement, and Coolset, a leading sustainability management platform, are joining forces to help companies comply with increasingly stringent sustainability regulations. Their joint solution goes beyond compliance, enabling businesses to effectively manage their sustainability strategies.

From regulation to strategic opportunities

Companies operating in the European Union are subject to various sustainability regulations, such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), EU Taxonomy and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). Many organizations struggle with complex reporting requirements and fragmented data while simultaneously needing to make strategic sustainability decisions.

Hot ITem Conclusion and Coolset offer an integrated, data-driven solution that combines ESG reporting with management information. This allows businesses to report transparently and in an auditable manner while gaining better insight into their sustainability objectives.

Smart automation for mid-sized and large enterprises

“With our platform-agnostic approach, we provide organizations with the right solutions for their ESG compliance and sustainability ambitions,” says Tim Linger, lead ESG at Hot ITem Conclusion. “We identify relevant control objectives and data points, ensure integration with reporting systems, and support clients in interpreting results for strategic decision-making. Thanks to our partnership with Coolset, we can now better support mid-sized enterprises as well.”

“Many companies still rely on manual processes and Excel spreadsheets,” Linger continues. “Our collaboration delivers automated and auditable ESG solutions, helping businesses not only comply with regulations but also create value for the future.”

A new standard for ESG management

By combining Hot ITem Conclusion’s 25 years of data expertise with Coolset’s software, the partnership offers a solution that helps businesses:

• Automate sustainability reporting (such as CSRD, EU taxonomy);
• Gain real-time insights into sustainability goals and management information;
• Make predictions and forecasts for strategic decision-making;
• Take data-driven actions for sustainable growth.
  

“We provide companies with a solution that not only ensures compliance but also makes them more competitive,” says Konstantinos Kouzelis, CEO of Coolset. “This collaboration supports organizations in their sustainable transformation and sets a new standard for ESG management.”
