What Coolset does

Coolset B.V. is a Dutch AI-enabled ESG and supply chain compliance platform headquartered in Amsterdam with a secondary office in Lelystad, founded in 2022 (rebranded from Greencast.io in March 2023). The company targets mid-market enterprises typically with 250+ employees, serving ESG, sustainability, supply chain, and procurement teams that need to coordinate compliance across multiple overlapping EU regulations including CSRD, EUDR, PPWR, EU Taxonomy, VSME, EUTR, EcoVadis, and GHG Protocol Scope 1-3 emissions reporting.

The platform is built around three integrated product pillars: Carbon Management (TÜV Rheinland-certified hybrid spend/activity-based Scope 1-3 emissions measurement with 11,000+ vetted emission factors and SBTi-aligned scenario planning), ESG Compliance (CSRD double materiality assessment, ESRS disclosure generation with XBRL tagging, EU Taxonomy alignment, and VSME reporting), and Supply Chain Integrity (EUDR supplier traceability with embedded Sentinel-2 geospatial intelligence and direct TRACES DDS integration, PPWR packaging portfolio management, EUTR timber compliance, and EcoVadis assessment preparation). Differentiated technical components include geospatial monitoring at approximately 10m resolution via Continuous Change Detection, explainable AI for supplier document verification with optional human auditor review, a 5-year audit trail, and a public REST API plus a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Coolset data as tools for AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT.

Coolset operates an annual SaaS subscription model with a mandatory platform fee and modular add-ons (CSRD, EU Taxonomy, Scope 1-3 emissions, EUDR, PPWR, etc.), bundling unlimited user seats with no setup fees. The company combines a product-led growth motion (Academy content, self-guided tours, SEO) with enterprise field sales targeting mid-market accounts, supported by dedicated customer success managers, accelerator onboarding programs, and an indirect consultant channel (e.g., PIA Group). The company raised a €1.5 million seed round led by Global Cleantech Capital in March 2023, serves 500+ customers, and holds ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and EU Commission CSRD solution designations.

Direct peers

• Sweep: Direct competitor in the mid-market ESG/CSRD platform space. Both sell integrated carbon accounting and CSRD reporting modules to 250+ employee companies in Europe with multi-framework compliance as the wedge.
• Watershed: Direct competitor in enterprise-grade carbon accounting and ESG disclosure. Both target Scope 1-3 measurement with audit-ready outputs; Watershed skews enterprise while Coolset targets mid-market with the same disclosure outputs.
• Persefoni: Direct competitor in carbon-footprint management and CSRD-enabling software. Both sell hybrid spend/activity-based accounting with finance-grade emissions outputs into enterprise and mid-market.
• Plan A: Direct competitor — Berlin-based ESG/CSRD platform for SMBs and mid-market. Comparable product surface (carbon management, CSRD/ESRS reporting) and similar European SMB-first GTM.
• Greenly: Direct carbon-accounting competitor targeting European SMB/mid-market. Overlaps on Scope 1-3 measurement, CSRD preparation, and EcoVadis-style sustainability engagement.
• Emitwise: Direct competitor in enterprise carbon accounting and supply-chain Scope 3. Comparable measurement methodology and audit-ready outputs for industrial and FMCG customers.

Broad incumbents

• Workiva: Broad incumbent in ESG/CSRD reporting, audit and risk SaaS. Competes head-on for CSRD XBRL-ready disclosure workflows but addresses a much wider audience (ESG, audit, EGRC) than Coolset's compliance-only wedge.
• Diligent (Galvanize/ESG): Broad incumbent in GRC and ESG disclosure software. Overlaps with Coolset's CSRD/ESRS reporting functionality but as part of a much larger governance, risk and compliance portfolio.
• IBM Envizi: Broad incumbent ESG/Sustainability suite from IBM. Competes in Scope 1-3 reporting and CSRD enablement for large enterprises; much broader scope (energy, assets, supply chain) than Coolset's mid-market wedge.

Emerging players

• Sinai Technologies: Emerging carbon and ESG analytics platform focused on enterprise decarbonization. Comparable Scope 1-3 and scenario-planning capabilities; smaller customer base than Coolset, with stronger presence in commodities-heavy enterprises.
