Detailed Review
Coolset is an Amsterdam-based compliance platform, founded in 2022 and registered as Coolset B.V. at Egelantiersgracht 572, that targets EU mid-market companies with nine named modules: CSRD, EU Taxonomy, GHG Scope 1-3 accounting, EUDR (plus a simplified EUDR for SME edition), EUTR, VSME, PPWR and EcoVadis assessment preparation. It is the broadest single platform in this category by named regulatory-framework coverage.
Rather than one flat subscription, Coolset prices each module separately after a quote request, and states that onboarding, a customer success manager, sustainability researchers and a four-week accelerator programme are included at no extra cost on every module. The base platform includes unlimited users, analytics, automations and an audit trail built for auditor use rather than gating collaboration behind seat counts.
Founded in 2022, Coolset is the youngest company in this category, and its own site does not publish specific certifications the way Plan A or Sami do. For a buyer whose priority is covering the full stack of new EU regulatory frameworks (CSRD, Taxonomy, EUDR, CBAM-adjacent reporting) under one vendor relationship, the module breadth is the strongest reason to shortlist it.
What Coolset does well
- Broadest named regulatory-framework coverage in the category: CSRD, EU Taxonomy, GHG Scope 1-3, EUDR, EUTR, VSME, PPWR, EcoVadis prep
- Unlimited users included on the base platform rather than gating collaboration behind seat count
- Onboarding, CSM, sustainability researchers and a 4-week accelerator included at no extra module cost
- Per-module quoting lets a buyer pay only for the frameworks that actually apply to their business
Where Coolset falls short
- No numeric pricing published on the vendor's own site for any module
- Youngest vendor in the category (founded 2022), so less track record than Normative (2014) or Position Green (2015)
- No certifications (ISO, SOC 2, B Corp etc.) stated on the vendor's own site, unlike Plan A or Sami
- Breadth of modules can mean less carbon-accounting-specific depth than a pure-play tool like Normative
Standout feature. Nine named compliance modules in one platform — the broadest regulatory-framework coverage of any tool in this category.
