Introducing SmartESG and Answer Ease

In a forward-looking collaboration, Sheerpa & Company, headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has announced a significant partnership with Sekisui House Asset Management, based in Minato, Tokyo. Starting from April 1, 2026, Sheerpa will offer its innovative cloud-based tools designed to enhance sustainability information disclosure: SmartESG and Answer Ease.

SmartESG: A Comprehensive Data Management Platform

SmartESG serves as a centralized platform for managing sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) data scattered across various departments within an organization. This innovative tool supports strategic sustainability management by optimizing the disclosure process of sustainability information.

The platform comprises four core functions that streamline disclosure efforts and facilitate advanced analyses. Through two key components, Database and Workflow, SmartESG visualizes and manages often siloed internal data collection. Meanwhile, its Focus and Benchmark features leverage advanced analytical capabilities powered by AI, providing businesses with a deeper understanding of their sustainability metrics. In essence, SmartESG not only enhances information disclosure and stakeholder engagement but also accelerates the formulation and execution of sustainable business strategies.

Complementing SmartESG, Answer Ease is a transformative tool that uses AI to automatically generate responses to sustainability-related questionnaires, based on existing company data. This feature aims to significantly alleviate the workload associated with responding to numerous ESG-related inquiries, allowing organizations to enhance efficiency and reduce operational burdens.

Moreover, Answer Ease provides reference materials alongside generated responses, ensuring that the content is accurate and minimizes instances of misinformation or 'hallucinations'—a crucial aspect in maintaining reliability in corporate communications.
