As CSRD regulations came into focus, EyeTi recognized that its subsidiaries lacked the capacity and expertise to navigate compliance requirements individually. Key challenges included:

• Limited internal expertise on sustainability reporting.
• Varying business models within the group, requiring a balanced approach to group-level and individual compliance.
• Complexity of double materiality analysis (DMA) and data collection across multiple companies.

Joris Zwanenburg, ESG Manager at EyeTi, quickly identified that managing CSRD manually—using Excel or ad-hoc processes—would be inefficient and unsustainable in the long run.

“I realized early on that Excel wasn’t a viable solution for this. CSRD is complex, and if we wanted a structured, scalable approach that allowed our companies to learn and build internal knowledge, we needed the right software solution.”

EyeTi selected Coolset because of its practical, structured approach to compliance. The decision was driven by:

→ A centralized platform that simplifies CSRD reporting across the group.

→ Clear links to legislation, helping teams understand regulatory context without external consultants.

→ A user-friendly and intuitive interface, making it easy for individual companies to contribute.

→ The ability to maintain internal ownership, reducing reliance on costly consultants.

“I liked that Coolset isn’t just another consulting service. We wanted a tool that empowers us to do compliance ourselves—Coolset gives us that flexibility while still offering expert guidance when needed,” said Joris.

Although EyeTi is still working towards full CSRD compliance, Coolset has transformed their approach by:

• Providing structure and transparency, turning an overwhelming process into a manageable roadmap.
• Facilitating collaboration across companies, allowing subsidiaries to contribute without centralized bottlenecks.
• Helping align compliance with business goals, ensuring sustainability reporting reflects real business impact rather than just regulatory checkboxes.

“Coolset makes an abstract, complex project feel tangible. The structured process, progress tracking, and integrated guidance keep us moving forward without unnecessary confusion.”

EyeTi highlights Coolset’s proactive support and clear, structured approach as key factors in their compliance journey. The combination of expert guidance and an intuitive platform allowed their team to quickly get up to speed and manage compliance internally without heavy reliance on consultants.

EyeTi’s long-term vision is to fully integrate CSRD compliance into their operations and expand sustainability initiatives beyond regulatory requirements. With six subsidiaries working with Coolset, the company aims to streamline reporting processes and establish long-term sustainability benchmarks.

“Our business is growing through acquisitions, and compliance will only become more complex. With Coolset, we now have a system in place to manage that complexity efficiently,” added Joris.

EyeTi also envisions a more comprehensive compliance approach, potentially integrating ISO standards and broader ESG frameworks into a single, unified compliance management system.
