Shellpa Launches SmartESG to Support Chugai Pharmaceutical's Sustainability Disclosure

Shellpa Launches SmartESG for Chugai Pharmaceutical

On August 1, 2025, Shellpa & Company, based in Shinagawa, Tokyo, officially launched its sustainability disclosure solution, SmartESG, for Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. headquartered in Chuo, Tokyo. This strategic move aims to enhance Chugai's sustainability initiatives while streamlining its information disclosure processes.

Chugai Pharmaceutical is committed to creating shared value between itself and society, focusing on improving health and happiness for patients worldwide. In 2024, Chugai explicitly stated that it would position sustainability at the core of its business operations. To enhance its sustainability management, the company has reassessed its materiality, ensuring that it supports its value creation story. Notably, Chugai continues to be recognized for its commitment to sustainability, consistently making the investment indices adopted by the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) and being listed in the FTSE4Good Index Series for an impressive 23 consecutive years as of 2025.

The introduction of SmartESG at Chugai is set to revolutionize the way the company manages and discloses its sustainability information. By utilizing the robust database capabilities of SmartESG, Chugai will establish a centralized platform to consolidate internal sustainability data. This initiative not only aims to standardize sustainability disclosure operations but also employs a matrix function to visualize the relationships among diverse information. Consequently, Chugai will be able to systematically identify its priority issues requiring focused attention. This structured approach aims to enhance operational efficiency, thereby supporting Chugai's overarching goal of increasing its corporate value through effective sustainability management.

Shellpa is committed to advancing corporate sustainability practices through the implementation of SmartESG and hopes to play a vital role in helping businesses elevate their sustainability efforts.

What is SmartESG?

SmartESG is a cloud-based service designed to centralize sustainability data within organizations. It facilitates the analysis and improvement of sustainability practices across various sectors. The SmartESG database integrates disparate external evaluation and ESG disclosure information, allowing for centralized management. With the SmartESG workflow feature, Shellpa will standardize information management and collection processes across departments and affiliated companies. This standardization will substantially enhance the efficiency of information disclosure requests and survey response tasks.

Furthermore, the aggregated sustainability data can be mapped using the SmartESG matrix, revealing how each evaluation agency and disclosure standards align with key ESG criteria. This clarity of commonality and significance enables organizations to identify benchmark practices from other leading companies, enhancing their ESG evaluations in the market.
