They have established a dedicated sustainability team and consistently produce impact reports. Here are some highlights of their existing initiatives:

  • Data Challenge: Bolsius manages complex supply chains with diverse data scattered across different systems involving both B2C and B2B product distribution. Together, ROSE and Bolsius will ensure data reliability and comparability and a comprehensive carbon footprint picture.

  • Mapping Data to the CSRD Framework: Clean and reliable data  stills needs to be mapped to match the CSRD requirements. ROSE is designed with this specific structure in mind.
