About
Imbema

Imbema is a family-owned business that specializes in providing products and solutions for the water, energy, and infrastructure sectors. With a focus on sustainable operations and a commitment to creating a positive impact on the world, Imbema partners with clients who prioritize corporate social responsibility and environmental stewardship.

Imbema works with large infrastructure companies that require their suppliers to meet high standards for sustainability, including certifications like the CO2 Performance Ladder and CSR Performance Ladder.

The challenge

Imbema faced the challenge of accurately tracking and reporting their carbon footprint across various business activities and multiple data sources. Their existing methods relied heavily on manual data collection and Excel spreadsheets, which were time-consuming and prone to errors.

With the growing importance of regulatory compliance, Imbema needed a reliable solution to help them manage the extensive requirements of sustainability certifications and audits, particularly for mid-market companies like themselves. They considered external consultants or hiring an employee, but both are resource intensive.

Why Coolset?

Imbema chose Coolset for its comprehensive sustainability management platform, which offers robust features for tracking carbon emissions and ensuring compliance with CSRD. Coolset’s ability to manage both direct and indirect emissions data (scopes 1, 2, and 3) provided Imbema with a detailed overview of their environmental impact.

Coolset's platform allows Imbema to easily navigate through complex data and compliance requirements, making the reporting process more efficient and less resource-intensive. The availability of pre-configured templates and suggested answers further simplifies the data entry process, making it easier for Imbema to comply with audit requirements.

The impact

Since adopting Coolset, Imbema has significantly improved its sustainability reporting capabilities. The platform has streamlined the data collection process, reducing the time and effort required to gather and report emissions data. Imbema now has access to more detailed and accurate data across all emissions scopes, which has greatly enhanced their ability to monitor and reduce their environmental footprint.

“ The  platform  has  helped  us  get  a  better grip  on  our  carbon footprint,  especially  in  areas  where  we  previously  had limited visibility.”

The improvements in data accuracy and efficiency have also facilitated Imbema's compliance with various sustainability certifications like the CO2 performance ladder, ensuring that they meet the standards expected by their clients and regulatory bodies.
