Boost Sustainability
Our sustainability ERP system has a proven track record, being used in over 192,000 locations across 92 countries. With an interface supporting 25 languages, it enables centralized management of sustainability data worldwide.
We provide reliable support backed by robust security adopted by major corporations and extensive expertise based on multiple patents.
Automate complex, globally dispersed data collection processes and support major frameworks such as SSBJ, ISSB, and CSRD/ESRS. Real-time SX status monitoring and features to meet up to 15 levels of organizational configuration and audit requirements improve efficiency and accuracy.
Examples of functions that meet audit requirements
Approval flow, permission settings, evidence attachment, threshold errors, reasons for discrepancies, year-on-year comparison.
We automated the data collection process, which previously took a year, significantly reducing man-hours. This can be achieved quickly by utilizing standard processes.
We will eliminate the need for extensive email correspondence and reminder tasks, and establish a system that enables simultaneous disclosure of financial and non-financial information.
Responding to SSBJ and CSRD requires preparation that anticipates future regulatory guarantees. Limited and reasonable assurances of non-financial information require assurance costs equivalent to those of financial information.
Sustainability ERP significantly reduces the costs associated with obtaining assurance by enabling effective IT controls and reducing the workload of audit firms.

Itochu Corporation
assignment
The process of collecting sustainability-related data from approximately 600 locations was incredibly time-consuming, and the "bucket brigade" method using Excel and email made version control cumbersome. This situation made it difficult to allocate sufficient resources to data analysis and strategy development, and the increasing demand for disclosure of non-financial information made it challenging to keep up with the demands using traditional methods.
Reasons for introduction
AEON Co., Ltd.
assignment
Aeon, which has over 300 group companies and more than 20,000 stores, faced the challenge of requiring a tremendous amount of effort to calculate CO2 emissions for each store, implement business continuity plans (BCPs), and manage the progress of energy conservation and renewable energy projects. Furthermore, obtaining supplier data for SCOPE3 calculations was also a significant burden.
effect
By introducing "Sustainability ERP," each group location was given an account, significantly reducing the amount of work required for consolidation and management at headquarters.
We updated the global infrastructure of our 300 group companies and achieved IT controls that can withstand SSBJ regulations.
