Problem
Companies face increasing pressure to comply with complex and evolving sustainability regulations, including extended producer responsibility (EPR) mandates, carbon accounting standards, and retailer-specific requirements. Managing the diverse data sources, reporting formats, and deadlines across multiple jurisdictions consumes significant time and resources. This complexity hinders companies' ability to focus on implementing actual sustainability initiatives and achieving decarbonization goals.
Solution
Cold provides a sustainability compliance platform that streamlines data management, automates reporting, and facilitates adherence to a wide range of environmental regulations and certifications. The platform aggregates sustainability data from various sources, leverages AI to organize documents and automate data entry, and tracks compliance against state, federal, and international regulations. By automating reporting workflows and providing actionable insights into product-level carbon footprints, Cold enables companies to reduce the time spent on compliance tasks and focus on driving meaningful sustainability improvements. The platform also supports registration with Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) and submission of required reports on behalf of its users.
