Why Carbon Accounting is Crucial for Modern Businesses

In an era where climate change and sustainability are at the forefront of global discussions, businesses are increasingly recognizing the importance of carbon accounting. The free online seminar titled "Why Carbon Accounting Influences Management Now - The First Step Towards Decarbonization" will guide participants through the necessity of integrating carbon accounting into their business practices. Hosted by Tsujihongo Tax Corporation in collaboration with Tsujihongo IT Consulting Co., Ltd. and SCSK Corporation, this event aims to demystify carbon accounting and provide actionable insights to companies of all sizes.

The Necessity of Decarbonization

As organizations strive to meet evolving environmental regulations and public expectations, addressing decarbonization has transcended mere environmental initiative; it’s now a critical business priority. Failing to adapt could jeopardize relationships with large clients and affect evaluations by financial institutions that are increasingly scrutinizing companies on their sustainability practices. The growing emphasis on transparency regarding carbon emissions, particularly within supply chains, necessitates a thorough understanding of carbon accounting.

Many companies find themselves stuck at the starting line, hindered by uncertainty about where to begin or overwhelmed by the perceived complexity and resources needed for implementation. This seminar aims to provide clarity amidst these concerns, offering a pathway for businesses to initiate their decarbonization journey.

Key Seminar Topics

The seminar, scheduled for February 24, 2026, from 3 PM to 4 PM (JST) on Zoom, will cover:
1. Recent environmental changes influencing decarbonization.
2. The reasons why carbon accounting is becoming a crucial management factor.
3. Essential first steps and strategies for beginning carbon accounting efforts.
4. An introduction to "Koko Karte," a user-friendly tool that leverages accounting data to ease companies into carbon accounting.

By participating, attendees will gain crucial insights into transforming decarbonization into a proactive management strategy rather than a reactive measure when it comes to compliance and client relationships.

The Speaker

Leading the discussion is Yoshiaki Hanakuma, a manager at SCSK Corporation’s GX Center CN Business Promotion Department, who also serves as a decarbonization advisor certified by the Ministry of the Environment. With over two decades of experience in the industry, Hanakuma has been instrumental in bridging the gap between corporate practices and environmental responsibility initiatives through the development of systems like "Koko Karte."
