When it comes to inflation, we have made a deliberate choice not to adjust for it. By doing so, we ensure our clients can depend on a consistent baseline when reviewing their data year-on-year.

Inflation is a complex factor. Not only can it vary considerably month-to-month, but its impact is also highly product or service-dependent. Incorporating inflation correction can therefore introduce distortions in our data, which enters the risk of diverging from actual consumption patterns and environmental impacts. In essence, such corrections might lead us further from the real-world scenarios we aim to assess at Coolset.

The heart of our mission is to empower businesses to reduce emissions through improved behaviour and the selection of better suppliers. By maintaining a consistent metric, excluding the volatility of inflation, we provide a clearer picture for our clients to measure and act on their emission outputs.
