Map your imports, collect emission data from suppliers and calculate total volumes in one intuitive platform.
Get the tools, structure and support you need to meet CBAM requirements with no prior experience or systems.
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.
Coolset provides an all-in-one platform designed to make your sustainability journey seamless, effective, and future-proof.

CBAM stands for Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. It is the EU’s carbon pricing system, adding a carbon cost to certain imports, like steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen, and electricity - based on their embedded emissions.
From 2026, any in-scope goods your company brings into the EU will require quarterly emissions reporting and the purchase of CBAM certificates. This means higher costs for carbon-intensive products and a need for systems to measure emissions at the production site, verify supplier data, and manage certificate budgets.
CBAM targets sectors with the highest risk of carbon leakage. It applies to goods like steel, cement, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen, all of which are emissions-heavy to produce. It also includes some precursor materials and processed products linked to these sectors.
CBAM requires suppliers to provide installation-specific emissions data for each in-scope product, calculated using the EU’s Monitoring and Reporting Regulation (MRR).
When collecting data, ensure they provide:
Begin by reaching the right supplier contact in sustainability, EHS, or operations, and provide a CBAM-ready template with clear deadlines. Track responses in one place, follow up promptly on delays, and avoid ESG reports or LCAs, as they don’t meet CBAM’s accuracy standards.
A CBAM certificate is the compliance unit importers must buy and surrender under the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. Each certificate covers one tonne of CO₂-equivalent emissions embedded in imported goods like steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen, and electricity.
From 1 January 2026, importers established in the EU must hold and surrender certificates matching the verified emissions of their annual imports.
How CBAM certificates work:
The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) caps and prices carbon emissions for companies operating within the EU, creating a market for tradable emission allowances. The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) extends this principle to imports - ensuring goods produced outside the EU face the same carbon cost as those made within it. CBAM certificates are non-tradable and non-transferable. They can only be used by the authorized declarant who purchased them. This differs from EU allowances, that can be traded across entities and markets.
Coolset’s module for CBAM compliance helps companies build a collaborative relationship with their suppliers. It centralizes supplier outreach, data collection, and reporting - replacing scattered spreadsheets and email threads with one streamlined platform.
