Disclaimer: Recent EUDR developments
On 23 September 2025, the European Commission proposed delaying the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). We are monitoring the situation and will update our content as needed. For the most up-to-date information, refer to this deep-dive article.

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires companies to provide verifiable and auditable information about their sustainability efforts, including their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. This goes beyond data reporting – it also mandates companies to back up each claim with appropriate documentation, ensuring accuracy and transparency of the reporting process.

In response to this need, Coolset has launched its new Supporting evidence feature. Supporting evidence makes it simple for businesses to attach relevant documentation to each individual data point in their double materiality assessment or ESRS disclosure. By doing so, auditors can easily trace and verify the original data sources, ensuring compliance with CSRD regulations while streamlining the entire audit process.

To see how supporting evidence can help sustainability and compliance teams in practice, read our article on Preparing EcoVadis supporting documents.

An integrated solution for supporting evidence

Coolset’s Supporting evidence feature offers a seamless solution for managing all the necessary supporting documents within the reporting process. The feature allows users to:

  • Upload supporting documentation (PDFs, Word docs, images, and more) to an integrated document library.
  • Attach existing documents to specific data points in their CSRD reporting.
  • Export supporting evidence alongside their CSRD reporting, allowing team members and auditors to easily access, review and analyze the original data.

Making verification smoother for auditors

Thanks to Coolset’s Supporting evidence feature, auditors can now access organized and comprehensive documentation, making the verification process for CSRD reporting quicker and more efficient. This increased efficiency ensures faster compliance verification while reducing the workload for sustainability and compliance teams.
