Cozero

Throwback to the Cozero Winter Offsite! ❄️ ⛸️ We kicked off the year in the best way: welcoming 9 new joiners, connecting with our team, and sharing many laughs over ice skating, board games, escape rooms, and a cozy evening get-together. As a company with team members across the globe, moments like these are especially important. Bringing everyone together helps us foster our culture, build relationships, and strengthen the glue that keeps us moving forward as one team. It’s always inspiring to see how much we’ve grown and exciting to think about the milestones ahead. 🔍 Want to join the journey? Check out our open roles in the comments!

We’re thrilled to kick off 2025 by building on the strong foundation we established with our partner Sunhat in 2024 🚀 By combining Cozero’s expertise in managing Scope 1-3 emissions data with unmatched granularity and Sunhat’s know-how in automating ESG workflows, we’ve enabled companies to deliver compliance-ready reports for reporting initiatives like EcoVadis, CDP, and CSRD. As we scale new heights this year, we’re committed to helping even more companies confidently navigate ESG reporting and achieve measurable results. Curious how we can help you elevate your ESG reporting in 2025? Let’s talk! #Partnership #ESGreporting #CSRD #Sustainability

How does #CSRD shape investor decisions? 💡📈 We had an insightful chat with Sebastian Reichhart from Mister Spex about the intersection of #ESG metrics and financial performance. He shared how the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is influencing investor priorities, and how our software supports Mister Spex in leading the way with robust sustainability reporting.

The best outcomes happen when we build with our customers, not just for them. 💪🏼 💡 I recently met with David Makrucki, Head of Corporate Development and Sustainability at DMG MORI — a company that’s been a pioneer in shaping the future of emissions management in the manufacturing industry. Over the past four years, collaborations like this have helped Cozero evolve into a solution that addresses real challenges across industries. Co-creation is deeply rooted in our DNA. This is how we build up the Cozero software from the very beginning, and it is still a very successful recipe for us. But let’s be honest - co-creation isn’t always scalable. As you grow, balancing deep collaboration with the need to standardize is one of the hardest trade-offs. So, what’s the way forward? For us, it’s about: 1️⃣ Listening first: Understanding the core challenges our customers face helps us to build features that truly make an impact. Staying focused on solving the most critical problems leads to better results for everyone. 2️⃣ Finding the patterns: Co-creation uncovers shared challenges. Scaling means turning those insights into universal features. For example, many of our customers face challenges in specific categories such as Scope 3.11 - the Use of Sold Products. For us, this means finding solutions that address these challenges by facilitating stakeholder data collection and data management across the value chain. 3️⃣ Empowering independence: The best tools enable customers to drive change without constant support and require minimal effort to implement. 4️⃣ Sharing best practices: There is a great value in bringing together companies and suppliers across the value chain to discuss what is most important in this very dynamic and sometimes difficult field of sustainability; collaboration is a key success factor for the climate transformation. I’m excited for the next steps with DMG MORI. Over the last months, we’ve seen them elevate their data collection process by effectively engaging suppliers to collect primary data. Next year, we’ll be rolling out the next phase of our collaboration, and I can’t wait to share what we’ve learned and especially achieved along the way. What’s your take — how do you balance deep collaboration with the need to scale? Let’s discuss! #Cocreation #Manufacturing #Scope3 #Sustainability

I’m excited to be part of Das Gleiche in Grün?! hosted by Moritz Petersen and Timo Landener for the second time – and this time as part of their Advent calendar special! 🎄 Behind door 10, I’m sharing some of the unexpected, positive developments I’ve observed this year in sustainable transformation within logistics. It’s about the value of collaboration, how sustainability is becoming a talent magnet, and the financial opportunities it creates. I also highly recommend checking out the episodes with Isa Kohn (Wilo Group) and Lutz Fricke (MOSOLF Gruppe). They’re true change makers, showing how to bring sustainable transformation to life in the real world – definitely worth a listen! #Decarbonization #SupplyChain #Logistics #Scope3

Here’s what happens when a global logistics leader gets serious about sustainability. 🚛 🌎 🌱 Hellmann Worldwide Logistics' Head of Sustainability Daniel Huelemeyer, Sustainability Specialist Marina Rybak and Global Environmental Specialist Fynn Ermen joined us in Berlin as part of our carbon inventory program, diving into emissions data and exploring actionable next steps for their sustainability journey with the Cozero team. Some food for thought from Hellmann’s sustainability journey: 1️⃣ Sustainability solutions must be tailored to customer needs. For Daniel Huelemeyer, sustainable transport solutions are not one-size-fits all. Success depends on customer alignment and joint investments into sustainable transport solutions, otherwise the team will not move forward with its sustainability goals. 2️⃣ The most effective sustainability measures also drive economic benefits. 💡 The ‘low-hanging fruits’ like energy-efficient lighting yield both cost and emissions savings. Hellmann Worldwide Logistics' Head of Sustainability notes that it becomes more difficult when additional costs are involved. To achieve more sustainable transport chains with lower emissions, collaboration between shippers and logistics service providers is essential and mandatory. 3️⃣ Scope 3 emissions present complex challenges, especially for a global logistics provider. 💡 Partnerships and reliable tools are key to making accurate, actionable carbon measurements. To properly balance the company's Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF), Daniel Huelemeyer knew they needed a software. Cozero convinced the team with its climate and industry expertise. Shoutout to Regine Castilla, Helen Tacke, Fabian Schwarzer and Nadia S. for making this inspiring session possible. Thanks to the Maschinenraum team for providing a space to co-create and innovate! #CCF #CarbonReduction #Logistics #Decarbonization

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗲'𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗼 In April of this year, we announced our investment in Cozero with Kvanted and NewAlpha Asset Management. In this post, we'd like to illustrate the investment thesis that led to the deal. 🌿 “Actionable sustainability requires more than just compliance. It requires a balanced approach that weighs environmental obligations and financial implications. Organizations need to prioritize solutions that provide clear insight, enabling them to make decisions that are both environmentally responsible and financially prudent," says Melanie Beyersdorf, who led the investment from our side. 📈𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱 Transparency in their own CO2 management and the presentation of relevant data are becoming increasingly important control parameters for companies. In addition, companies must be able to derive measures directly from the data obtained. ⚠️𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 Collecting and analysing CO2 activity data from different sources and formats is complex and time-consuming. 💡𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Cozero's CO2 management tools streamline the measurement, reduction, and reporting of corporate and product footprints across Scope 1-3. Whether for CSRD reporting, decarbonization planning, or supplier data collection, the Cozero Climate ERP supports companies from complex sectors on their climate journey. 🌳𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗼 Cozero is a leading provider of carbon management software for enterprises. Founded in Berlin in 2020 by Helen Tacke, Fabian Schwarzer, and Tiago Taveira, Cozero empowers enterprises to take control of their environmental footprint and decarbonization journey. Its Climate Action Platform (CAP) offers seamless tracking, reduction, and reporting capabilities for corporate and product emissions in one end-to-end SaaS solution.  

Time to move away from net-zero pledges — progress demands action. ⏰ 🌎 Last week, Cozero team Helen Tacke and Roman Kovacic-Scheck were invited to join the Sustainable Business Roundtable organized by ESMT Berlin, where leaders across industries gathered to tackle one big question: How do we turn ambition into action to build a net-zero future? Here’s a quick look at our approach to successful decarbonization—built on five key pillars every organization needs: 🔗 Linking finance and climate controlling Balanced scorecards integrate sustainability into an organization’s overall strategic framework and tie financial priorities to climate action with clear, actionable KPIs. 📊 Granularity & quality of the data Accurate and detailed emissions data is the foundation for effective decarbonization. 💡 Planning ahead Emissions forecasting helps organizations stay on track, compare different scenarios and manage costs such as carbon pricing during the transformation. 🧩 Intersection of CCF & PCF Understanding the link between corporate and product/service carbon footprints is essential for supply chain impact. 🕸️ Decentralization Successful transformations involve everyone—suppliers, teams across the organization, and leadership—powered by tools that enable decentralized data collection. The event was a great inspiration—from engaging conversations at our booth to insightful discussions during the sessions. Thank you for the invitation and every connection we made, we are thrilled to learn and grow on this important journey together! #SBRT #NetZero #Transformation
