A Closer Look: Our Interview with Coolx

In our insightful conversation with the Coolx team, they emphasized their focus on technology with measurable environmental and social impacts. Reflecting on their partner selection process, they stressed the importance of shared values, stating, "All the technology we develop must have a positive environmental and social impact, and above all, it must be measurable."


By addressing the selection of partners, Coolx emphasized its transparency and sustainability alignment criteria. "Syra Coffee caught our attention due to their commitment to sustainable practices and support for local communities," the team mentioned, underscoring the importance of shared values in their collaboration.


Discussing their collaboration with Syra Coffee, Coolx stressed the significance of transparency and traceability in supply chains. Furthermore, they outlined how their technology leverages satellite imagery and artificial intelligence to monitor and mitigate deforestation rates. "Our technology acts as an invisible barrier, ensuring that the coffee consumed in the European Union is free of deforestation," they explained.


Coolx identified obtaining geolocation files as a major hurdle in implementing deforestation-free supply chains. However, their technological solution automates regulations-related tasks, streamlining data management and simplifying deforestation analysis. "Our platform allows for geolocation and deforestation analysis without fieldwork," they elaborated.


Looking towards the future, Coolx shared their plans for scaling impact beyond the pilot phase with Syra Coffee. "Our technology is scalable, allowing us to analyze supply chains from any country of origin," they noted. They also expressed their commitment to expanding services to other sectors and regions, which aligns with promoting the European Union Deforestation Regulation.
