Already started reporting on ESRS? You can automatically map and prefill progress across these interoperable frameworks.
Coolset helps you centralize ESG data and turn it into clear, actionable reports.
Coolset offers three integrated modules: carbon management, ESG compliance, and supply chain integrity, which can be used separately or combined for a comprehensive approach to sustainability.
These modules provide a suite of tools and features to help businesses manage their carbon emissions effectively, achieve sustainability compliance, and meet environmental, social, and governance (ESG) regulations while managing supplier compliance obligations:
Carbon management: Accurate measurement and reporting of Scope 1-3 emissions measurement with TÜV-certified methodology.
ESG compliance: All-in-one software for streamlined Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), EU Taxonomy, and Voluntary SME standards (VSME).
Supply chain integrity: Compliance-first tools for regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), that double as a catalyst for transparency and resilience - enabling greater transparency, data sharing, and collaboration with suppliers.
Parallel to these core modules, Coolset provides supporting capabilities designed to strengthen their impact and help businesses get even more value from the platform:
Cross-team collaboration: A platform tailored for internal and external collaboration, enabling teams and partners to align on sustainability goals and strategies.
Data collection and visualization: Intuitive dashboards and reports for easy interpretation of carbon data.
Auditable reporting: Accurate and audit-ready ESg reports with guided templates, smart data autofills, and linked supporting evidence to confidently pass internal reviews and external audits.
At Coolset, we see compliance not as a box to tick, but as the foundation for building a better business. Explore these features and more to enhance your sustainability efforts and ensure regulatory and supply chain compliance. Get in touch.

VSME stands for Voluntary sustainability reporting standard for SMEs and aims to standardize sustainability reporting across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters to promote transparency and corporate responsibility. It is a reporting framework established by the EU.
It’s a voluntary, streamlined ESG reporting framework. Even if you’re no longer legally required to report, ESG transparency remains a key competitive advantage as expectations from stakeholders continue to rise.
It depends on your company’s strategy and market position. Companies competing on a European or global level often stick with CSRD to maintain credibility and a competitive edge, especially now that audit requirements have been removed, lowering compliance costs.
For businesses that struggled with CSRD timelines or lack the scale to support full compliance, VSME offers a simpler alternative while still demonstrating sustainability commitment. It also provides a standardized way to share ESG data with investors, banks, and enterprise customers.
It is particularly useful for SMEs that:
The VSME Basic module is a simplified ESG reporting standard for SMEs, focused on core disclosures like energy use, workforce, and basic governance. It’s designed to be practical and easy to apply with limited resources.
The Comprehensive module builds on this with more detailed reporting requirements, including climate transition plans, business strategy, and sector-specific data. You have to complete the Basic module first before moving to the Comprehensive one.
Yes, reporting under the Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs (VSME) is designed to be significantly more cost-effective than full CSRD compliance.
One of the main savings comes from the absence of a mandatory audit, which under CSRD can cost between €50,000 and €150,000. VSME also requires less complex data collection, fewer disclosures, and a simplified reporting process - reducing the workload for internal teams and lowering the need for external consultants. This makes it a proportional alternative for growing companies that are not (yet) in the scope for CSRD.
