デロイト トーマツとサステナビリティ 2026 問題解決に向け
アライアンス契約を締結

　booost technologies Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hirokazu Aoi) which supports the acceleration of corporate sustainability transformation (SX) (※2). through the provision of the integrated SX platform "Sustainability ERP) (※1).," has entered into an alliance agreement with Deloitte Tohmatsu Risk Advisory Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Managing Executive Officer: Atsushi Iwamura; hereinafter referred to as "DTRA"). This alliance aims to comprehensively support companies in addressing regulatory compliance for sustainability information (※3) disclosure. 

 

 

■Background and Purpose of the Partnership

　Recently, the disclosure of sustainability information has gained momentum both domestically and internationally, driven by the development and enforcement of standards such as the ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board), CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), and SSBJ (Sustainability Standards Board of Japan).

　Companies with a market capitalization of over 3 trillion yen are confronting the so-called “Sustainability 2026 Problem (※4).” as mandatory compliance will come into effect for fiscal years from April 1, 2026 (FY ending March 2027). To meet these requirements, companies must establish a clear roadmap for achieving sustainability transformation (SX) by 2026. The transition from voluntary to mandatory disclosure, along with the need for third-party assurance, highlights key challenges such as strengthening internal controls and developing advanced data infrastructure.

　In response to these emerging trends, we have entered into an alliance with DTRA to strengthen our support for SX, starting from the disclosure of sustainability information for global companies. Through this strong partnership with DTRA, we aim to promote the adoption of our integrated SX platform, "booost Sustainability Cloud," which will play a key role in addressing the "Sustainability 2026 Issue." By leveraging data, we are committed to advancing sustainability management and contributing to more effective decision-making for our clients.

 

 

■Overview of the Alliance

 　DTRA integrates a serie of key activities such as ESG management strategy, governance, business planning, operations, and disclosure to drive internal transformation within companies. They advocate for "ESG Data-Driven Management" and provide advisory services to support its practical implementation.

　The "booost Sustainability Cloud" is our integrated sustainability ERP platform, designed to comply with international and domestic disclosure standards. It automates the collection and aggregation of over 1,200 sustainability data points across areas like environment, social, and governance (ESG), while offering real-time monitoring. This integrated SX platform ensures compliance with regulatory and disclosure requirements across all industries, promotes consistent global governance, accelerates sustainability reporting, and includes internal controls to support third-party verification (※5).

　Under this alliance agreement, both companies will work together to speed up sustainability information disclosure by leveraging our products. Specifically, we will use DTRA's "ESG Solution DX-Enabled Data Model Package" to conduct a data gap analysis, identifying the relevant data needed for sustainability reporting. Based on this analysis, we will design the processes for collecting, aggregating, disclosing, and utilizing the data using our products. Additionally, we will carry out a Fit/Gap analysis. By following a Fit to Standard approach, we will guide the entire process, from business design and system preparation to the dry-run phase of disclosure operations, ensuring faster and smoother implementation.

 

 

　We are committed to supporting global companies in driving their SX projects, while also collaborating with businesses from various industries and sectors involved in SX. By building an "SX Ecosystem" that creates synergistic value, we aim to accelerate the realization of sustainability within Japanese society.

 

 

■（Reference）Sustainability 2026 Issue

　The Sustainability 2026 Issue refers to the concern that many companies have delayed addressing the mandatory disclosure of sustainability information and lack a sense of urgency. If this continues, it could lead to a decline in corporate value.

■（Reference） Trends in Domestic and International Sustainability Information Disclosure

 　Recently, trends in sustainability information disclosure have gained significant momentum. The European Commission's CSRD, set to apply from the 2024 fiscal year, will affect certain companies, including Japanese firms with subsidiaries in Europe. Meanwhile, the ISSB introduced the IFRS sustainability disclosure standards in June 2023, which took effect on January 1, 2024. These developments are shaping the global landscape of sustainability reporting and impacting companies worldwide.

 

　In Japan, the SSBJ is advancing the development of the SSBJ standards, which are set to be the Japanese equivalent of the IFRS sustainability disclosure standards. Starting in the fiscal year ending March 2027, companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market with a market capitalization of over 3 trillion yen will be required to disclose sustainability information in their securities reports. By the fiscal year ending March 2028, this requirement will extend to companies with a market capitalization exceeding 1 trillion yen. As part of these disclosures, companies must also compile information from their suppliers. This brings several urgent challenges for businesses, including accelerating disclosure processes, establishing internal controls for third-party assurance, and developing an integrated sustainability information platform that covers both domestic and international data. These steps are critical for ensuring compliance and driving sustainability efforts in the near future.

 

　Moreover, sustainability information offers valuable insights into a company’s future sustainability-related risks and opportunities. To achieve long-term growth in corporate value through effective sustainability management, it is essential to monitor this data in real-time, just as with financial information, rather than gathering it once a year. Actively integrating sustainability data into business strategies is key. Leading companies in sustainability are already moving beyond using data solely for disclosure. They are strategically leveraging both financial and sustainability information to guide their management decisions.
