Booost Launches Innovative 'booost Transition Driver' to Propel Corporate Sustainability

Booost Inc., a leading provider of sustainability ERP solutions in Japan, has announced the launch of their new service, dubbed booost Transition Driver, starting September 1, 2025. This service aims to help enterprises implement their Green Transformation (GX) and net-zero transition strategies comprehensively and collaboratively across all departments.

As companies strive to meet their greenhouse gas reduction targets by 2030, they face the dual challenge of driving business growth while simultaneously cutting emissions. Achieving this balance requires a transformative approach to procurement strategies and organizational structures. Moreover, ongoing compliance with government initiatives such as the GX-ETS (Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme) and mandatory sustainability disclosures is intensifying the need for advanced financial and non-financial information management.

However, many organizations encounter significant hurdles in formulating and executing cross-departmental strategies:

• - Disparate Energy Data: Energy data varies significantly by location and department, complicating comprehensive analysis and understanding.
• - Strategic Inconsistencies: The different criteria used by management, procurement, and sustainability departments hinder collaborative strategy development.
• - Challenges in Evaluating Renewable Energy: Assessing cost, environmental value, and regional contributions from multiple angles complicates decision-making.

Introducing the 'booost Transition Driver'

To overcome these obstacles, Booost has developed booost Transition Driver, a data-driven engine designed to facilitate the execution of net-zero strategies. This solution will streamline the collection and analysis of energy data, aid in cross-departmental strategic planning, and consolidate renewable energy procurement into a unified process. By fostering collaboration among corporate groups, management, and sustainability and procurement departments, Booost Transition Driver supports the execution of effective transition strategies.

Key Features:

1. Data Collection and Analysis: This includes detailed drilling down of energy data by facility, company, business unit, area, and energy type, based on quantitative foundations, enabling meaningful discussions across departments.
2. Strategic Planning Support: Development of reduction roadmaps for individual sites and a comprehensive corporate electricity and renewable energy portfolio, including aligning Key Goal Indicators (KGI) and Key Performance Indicators (KPI).
3. Execution and Monitoring: A multi-faceted evaluation of renewable energy across cost, environmental value, and community contribution will be implemented, facilitating informed decision-making with the upcoming launch of the booost Energy Marketplace.

To help companies tackle the barriers to achieving net-zero, Booost will employ a specialized team with expertise in both business strategy and emissions reduction. This collaborative approach ensures a practical, cross-departmental support system is in place.

Looking Ahead: Enhancing Corporate Sustainability

Booost is committed to going beyond mere compliance with disclosure obligations, striving to support companies in achieving GHG reductions and net-zero goals. This initiative is aimed at bolstering the sustainability transformation (SX) of Japanese corporations, thereby enhancing their competitiveness on a global scale.

Tackling the Sustainability 2026 Challenge

Currently, many companies face the Sustainability 2026 Challenge, wherein a lack of timely action and awareness regarding mandatory sustainability disclosures could lead to diminished corporate value. To address this problem and enhance the global presence of Japanese corporations through an effective sustainability transformation, Booost launched the “Project to Make Japan a Leader in SX” in November 2024. This project will promote events and support measures targeting both executives and operational personnel.
