Japanese followed by English translation

Sustainability Report 2024

　当社は、サステナビリティ経営の加速を支援するためのプラットフォーム「booost Sustainability Cloud」およびコンサルティングサービスの提供を通し、企業のSX支援を行っています。当社は、非上場企業ではありますが、サステナビリティ基準委員会（SSBJ）による国内開示基準の策定と、有価証券報告書での開示義務化への動向に先駆け、自社のプロダクトである「booost Sustainability Cloud」およびサステナビリティコンサルティングサービスの提供を通し培ったナレッジを活用し、全社的なプロジェクトとして、本レポートの策定および開示に取り組みました。なお、今回、CO2排出量算定結果に関しては、第三者保証も取得しております。

　当社は、事業を通じてステークホルダーの皆様に貢献すると同時に、皆様と協調しながら日本のGX・SXの推進を加速するべく、引き続き邁進してまいります。

　非財務情報の開示に関する国内外の動向は昨今活発化しており、欧州委員会が中心となり取り組みを開始したCSRD（Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive：企業サステナビリティ報告指令）は、2024年度から一部の企業への適用が開始され、欧州に現地法人がある日本企業が対象となるケースもあります。またISSB（International Sustainability Standards Board：国際サステナビリティ基準審議会）は、2023年6月にIFRSのサステナビリティ開示基準を策定し、2024年1月1日より発効されています。

　国内においても、SSBJ（Sustainability Standards Board of Japan：サステナビリティ基準委員会）が、IFRSサステナビリティ開示基準の日本版と位置付けられるSSBJ基準の策定を進めており、2027年3月期より東証プライム市場上場企業のうち時価総額3兆円以上の企業から有価証券報告書での開示が義務化される見込みであり、2028年3月期には1兆円以上の企業に適用が広げられる予定です（2025年3月までに最終化）。

　このように、国内外で非財務情報に関する開示義務化が進行しつつあります。さらに、SSBJ基準の適用が求められる東証プライム市場に上場する企業については、非財務情報の開示に際して、取引のあるサプライヤー企業の情報も取りまとめる必要があることから、適用対象となる企業における今後を見据えた開示対応の早期化や第三者保証対応を見据えた内部統制の構築、グローバル非財務統合データ基盤の整備が喫緊の課題となっています。

　当社は、SXを推進する事業活動に加えて、当社自身も変革（SX）を行い、ステークホルダーの皆様にサステナビリティ情報を広く開示していくことを目的に、本レポートの作成および開示を行いました。なお、非上場企業でありながら、来たるサステナビリティ情報開示の義務化拡大に先駆け、自社のサービスを活用したレポートの策定、開示を全社的なプロジェクトと位置づけ実施しました。当社自らが、サステナビリティにおける変革の時代をリードする存在となり、よりよい経済・環境・社会的影響の創出を目指します。

　なお、ステークホルダーは投資家に限定せず、お客様や当社社員等幅広く想定し、双方向の包括的な影響を念頭にレポート内容を精選しました。

　本レポートは、下記に記載する4つのマテリアリティ（重要課題）ごとにサステナビリティ情報を集約し、開示しています。なお「温室効果ガス排出量削減と気候変動」におけるGHG排出量の算定は自社プロダクト「booost Sustainability Cloud」を活用するとともに、「第三者保証」を取得しています。

 

対象期間：2023年2月～2024年1月（一部～2024年7月までの最新データを含む）

booost technologies Inc. (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hironori Aoi; hereinafter "our company"), the No. 1 (*1) in sustainability ERP solutions (including ESG information disclosure and GHG emissions visualization), published its first "Sustainability Report" (hereinafter "this Report") on its website in August 20 2024.

Click here to download the full version

Our first Sustainability Report has been disclosed as a company-wide initiative using the expertise gained from our “booost Sustainability Cloud” platform and our sustainability consulting services.

 

As a privately-held company, we have developed the “booost Sustainability Cloud”—a leading sustainability ERP solution. Our platform provides comprehensive Sustainability Transformation (SX) support and helps companies to accelerate their sustainability management. We provide our solution alongside consulting services to address the upcoming domestic disclosure standards from the Sustainability Standards Board of Japan (SSBJ) and the trend toward mandatory disclosure in annual securities reports. We have also obtained third-party assurance for the CO2 emissions calculation results.

 

Our company will continue to actively promote Green Transformation (GX) and Sustainability Transformation (SX) in Japan, driving sustainable and inclusive development through collaboration with our stakeholders and partnerships with all involved parties.

 

 

■Trends in Sustainability Information Disclosure

Recent trends in the disclosure of non-financial information have become increasingly active both domestically and internationally.

 

Internationally, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), led by the European Commission, requires all large and all listed companies to disclose information on their social and environmental impacts effective from the 2024 fiscal year. Certain non-EU companies, including potentially Japanese companies with local subsidiaries in Europe, will also be required to submit a report if their revenue on the EU market exceeds EUR 150 million.

Additionally, the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) -an independent organization that creates global standards for sustainability reporting- issued its first two IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2) in June 2023, which went into effect on January 1, 2024.

 

Domestically, the Sustainability Standards Board of Japan (SSBJ) is working on their new SSBJ standards, which will be the Japanese version of the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. These standards are expected to become mandatory for companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market with a market capitalization of over 3 trillion yen starting from the fiscal year ending March 2027. The requirement is anticipated to expand to companies with a market capitalization of over 1 trillion yen by the fiscal year ending March 2028 (with finalization by March 2025).

 

As the trend toward mandatory disclosure of non-financial information grows both domestically and internationally, companies are required to adhere to standards such as the SSBJ guidelines. Those listed on the TSE Prime Market must also compile information from their supplier companies when reporting non-financial data. Consequently, establishing internal controls and developing a global non-financial integrated data infrastructure have become pressing issues.

 

 

 

■Background of this report

In addition to advancing Sustainability Transformation (SX) through our business operations, our company has undertaken its own Sustainability Transformation to disclose sustainability information to our stakeholders. We have proactively written and published this report using our own services. This is a company-wide project, strategically undertaken in anticipation of the forthcoming expansion of mandatory sustainability information disclosure requirements. Our goal is to lead the sustainability transformation and create positive economic, environmental, and social impacts.

Stakeholders include not only investors but also a broad spectrum of groups, such as clients, employees, and other key parties. The content of the report has been carefully selected to ensure a comprehensive and mutually beneficial impact.

 

 

■Outline of this report

This report consolidates and discloses sustainability-related information across the four key materialities (issues) listed below. The calculation of GHG emissions under the “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction and Climate Change” section was conducted using our in-house product, the “booost Sustainability Cloud”, and has been verified by a third-party assurance.

 

Period covered: February 2023 to January 2024 (including some of the latest data up to July 2024)

Sites covered: All booost technologies locations (Tokyo head office and Osaka office)

Our materiality:

 

btaining Third-Party Assurance:

Third-party assurance of CO2 emissions refers to the process by which independent experts or organizations evaluate the fairness and accuracy of the GHG emissions reported by a company. With the advancement of ESG investments, the importance of non-financial information has increased, and third-party assurance is implemented to ensure its reliability.

 

For this report, we obtained third-party assurance from Sustainability Accounting Co., Ltd. regarding our GHG emissions calculations. This assurance includes validating the accuracy of our disclosed information and reflects our commitment to embodying decarbonization management (see page 20 of this report).
Reference: Third-party assurance

 

 

■Company-Wide Efforts in Report Creation

➀ SX Committee Initiatives

Our company integrates environmental and social perspectives into our business activities to address sustainability issues, including climate change, and to create lasting business value. We have established a governance structure centred around the SX Committee to ensure that these activities are managed with appropriate judgment and controls. We set up working groups for themes of high importance, which examine various issues and develop and implement action plans (see page 8 of this report). The creation of this report was also driven by the SX Committee, which has documented the activities and achievements of each working group.

 

② Utilization of Our Products and Consulting Services

For "Materiality 1: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction and Climate Change" (see page 19 of this report), we addressed the visualization and reduction of our GHG emissions as part of the environmental working group's activities under the SX Committee. This was achieved by using our product, "booost Sustainability Cloud," and our sustainability consulting services. The environmental working group was composed of volunteer employees from various departments and was established as a platform for applying their expertise in emissions calculations.

 

③ Company-Wide Group Work Sessions

During the report writing process, we conducted group work sessions involving all employees to examine the structure and content of the report. Based on the framework of the "Value Co-Creation Guidance 2.0"(*3) provided by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, we carefully structured the information in the report to improve our communication with stakeholders. The feedback we gathered during group work sessions helped us identify areas that needed improvement. We then used these insights to make the necessary edits to the report.

 

A record of this activity is posted on the “note” page. It is being updated as needed.Please look.
Note: “Struggles of the ‘SX Committee’ of Sustainable Tech Company!
