Coolset repositioned: Built for compliance-first teams
Amsterdam - 8 August 2025
Coolset has repositioned as the ESG and supply chain platform for compliance-first teams. Not because our business changed, but because we want to be very clear about who we're built for, and who we're not.
From SME carbon accounting to mid-market compliance
Back in 2023, our mission was to bring carbon accounting to SMEs: the underrepresented companies eager to measure, manage, and reduce their environmental impact. The reality? Smaller businesses were fighting for survival. Sustainability, while important, wasn’t their most urgent challenge.
But as these companies grew past that stage – into 200-300 employees – the conversation changed. ESG working groups emerged, data management improved, and the first internal or external ESG reports became a priority. Then came the inevitable question: Can you help us get ready for compliance?
The rise of CSRD and the compliance catalyst
The EU’s CSRD framework, with its 1,200+ data points, quickly became a pressing challenge for mid-market companies. No precedent. No shortcuts. A lot of manual work. We built our ESG compliance module to meet that need, and within months it accounted for nearly half our revenue, with 10+ new customers joining us each month.
When the Omnibus revisions rolled out, some companies were relieved to be out of scope. But for many, compliance had already been the spark to start building a stronger, more sustainable business - from decarbonizing operations to closing gender pay gaps.
Why supply chain integrity is next
Most compliance frameworks are, at face value, busywork. But they force the right questions: How do we want to operate? What does an enduring business look like? Increasingly, the answer runs through the supply chain.
We’re now expanding into supply chain integrity – starting with compliance use cases like EUDR and CBAM – but with a broader goal: to help companies work more closely with suppliers, build mutual trust, and create supply chains that stand the test of time and markets.
Where Coolset stands today
Coolset today offers:
- Carbon management - Scope 1-3 emissions measurement with TÜV-certified methodology
- ESG compliance - CSRD, EU Taxonomy, VSME and more
- Supply chain integrity - Compliance-first tools that double as a catalyst for transparency and resilience
Our mission hasn’t changed. We’re here for the teams that see compliance not as a box to tick, but as the foundation for building a better business.
