Disclaimer: New EUDR developments - December 2025
In November 2025, the European Parliament and Council backed key changes to the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), including a 12‑month enforcement delay and simplified obligations based on company size and supply chain role.
Key changes proposed:
- New enforcement timeline: 30 December 2026 for large/medium operators, 30 June 2027 for small/micro operators
- Simplified DDS: One-time declarations for small and micro primary producers
- Narrowed scope: Most downstream actors and non‑SME traders would no longer need to submit DDSs
- New DDS requirement: Estimated annual quantity of regulated products must be included
These updates are not yet legally binding. A final text will be confirmed through trilogue negotiations and formal publication in the EU’s Official Journal. Until then, the current EUDR regulation and deadlines remain in force.
We continue to monitor developments and will update all guidance as the final law is adopted.
Disclaimer: 2026 Omnibus changes to CSRD and ESRS
In December 2025, the European Parliament approved the Omnibus I package, introducing changes to CSRD scope, timelines and related reporting requirements.
As a result, parts of this article may no longer fully reflect the latest regulatory position. We are currently reviewing and updating our CSRD and ESRS content to align with the new rules.
Key changes include:
- A narrowed CSRD scope, now limited to companies with 1,000+ employees and €450m turnover
- Delays to CSRD reporting timelines, with wave 2 and 3 reports pushed to 2028/2029 in most cases
- Simplification of ESRS datapoints
We continue to monitor regulatory developments closely and will update this article as further guidance and implementation details are confirmed.
Reporting on sustainability frameworks like the CSRD often involves managing numerous interconnected tasks, creating a complex and challenging process. With input needed from various departments, the process can quickly become a maze of unclear roles, scattered data, and miscommunication. For sustainability managers and compliance officers, this complexity can lead to delays that jeopardize reporting timelines and compliance efforts.
Coolset’s new Task & activity management feature transforms this process. Designed to simplify cross-departmental collaboration and data collection, this tool empowers teams to manage their reporting workflows more effectively.
What does Task & activity management do?
This feature helps teams address the common challenges of sustainability reporting by enabling them to:
- Assign responsibilities: Clearly assign tasks to specific team members, ensuring clarity of ownership and accountability.
- Track progress in real-time: Monitor task status (e.g., “in progress,” “ready for review”) and see who made the latest updates for better transparency.
- Request reviews and audits: Notify managers, reviewers, or auditors when tasks are ready for the next step.
- Filter tasks by assignee: Get a clear overview of tasks assigned to you or specific team members, making it easier to focus on what matters.
Key benefits for teams
- Clarity in task ownership: Everyone knows exactly what’s expected of them, reducing confusion and ensuring accountability across departments.
- Real-time updates: Stay up to date on task progress and instantly identify bottlenecks, so you can address delays before they become problems
- Simplified review process: Reviewers and auditors are informed when tasks are marked as complete, ensuring a smooth handoff for critical tasks.
- Time savings: Eliminate the back-and-forth of email chains and meetings, freeing up time for higher-priority tasks and faster completion of reports.
- Audit-ready workflows: Keep all progress organized and documented, so you’re always prepared for stakeholder reviews or audits.
With Coolset’s Task & activity management, users gain a tool that simplifies the reporting process, saves time, and reduces stress across the organization.
By creating an efficient and organized workflow, Coolset helps mid-market companies achieve compliance faster while maintaining high standards of accuracy and accountability.
This feature is available now for all compliance module subscribers.
