About
Lepaya
Lepaya is a learning and development company from Amsterdam, Netherlands, specializing in upskilling professionals through a blend of online, offline, virtual reality, and AI-powered training and tools.
Led by Julian Merkle—Customer Experience Specialist and Data Analyst—Lepaya recently took significant steps toward raising sustainability awareness and reducing its environmental footprint, setting an example for other companies within the HR industry.
The challenge
Julian’s initial task was to find a platform that could accurately measure Lepaya’s existing carbon emissions and provide insights for effective implementation of carbon reduction strategies in a quickly evolving scale-up environment.
Julian recognized that intuitive user interface and comprehensive data visualizations would become essential to get stakeholder buy-in and efficiently deliver on cross-departmental sustainability initiatives.
Why Coolset?
Coolset stood out from other solutions by specializing in sustainability management for growing and mid-market companies, making it an ideal fit for Lepaya’s rapidly growing team of 230 employees.
Additionally, the Lepaya team recognized the urgency of the approaching Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which would soon require them to report on their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts.
With its comprehensive carbon management and compliance modules, Coolset efficiently addressed both needs, becoming the solution of choice for Lepaya.
The impact
After setting up emission reports and analytics, Lepaya was able to identify emission hotspots, understand contributions of different areas such as heating, travels and data centres, and define actions that would lead to significant reduction in emissions.
Coolset’s analysis revealed a surprising insight: nearly 95% of Lepaya’s total emissions were from Scope 3 sources—an unexpected finding for a company without traditional supply chain activities.
This information prompted Coolset and Lepaya to collaborate on improving data granularity and gain specific knowledge which Scope 3 emissions needed to be addressed first.
