Case Study: Heineken NL Commerce gains deeper carbon insight with Coolset

Heineken gains deeper carbon insight with Coolset and maps emissions to internal ownership

Heineken Nederland Commerce, the Dutch commercial entity of the global brewer, sought a granular view of its commercial carbon footprint to complement its parent company's consolidated reporting. Their challenge was to understand emissions from specific activities like marketing, events, and logistics to make meaningful decarbonization decisions. They partnered with vendor Coolset to use its carbon management platform to gain this deeper insight.

Coolset implemented a solution that accepted bulk data exports and enriched spend-based emissions with activity data. The results provided Heineken Nederland Commerce with actionable insights, mapping emissions to its internal organizational structure and reporting lines. This gave different teams clear ownership of their emissions, identified hotspots, and generated productive internal conversations on where to focus reduction efforts. The collaboration with Coolset was highly efficient and required minimal time investment from the client.
