Introduction to Booost Logistics

In a significant leap towards sustainable practices in logistics and transport, Booost Corporation, headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, has officially launched 'Booost Logistics'. This innovative solution is designed to enable firms in the transport sector to manage their emissions effectively. Following the success of their manufacturing-focused solution, 'Booost Manufacturing', rolled out in August 2025, this new tool seeks to address the pressing need for unified emission management in response to increasing regulatory demands.

Background of the Issue

In Japan, organizations with substantial annual transport volume are classified as 'specific consignees' under energy conservation laws, which require periodic reporting of energy usage. The food and distribution sectors, in particular, often find themselves entangled in labor-intensive Excel exchanges with their transportation partners. This outdated system contributes to inefficiencies and inconsistencies in their operations.

Moreover, the rising requirement to measure Scope 3 emissions poses additional challenges. Businesses must now visualize and categorize emissions from outsourced transportation, as outlined in the GHG Protocol's Category 4 (transport inbound) and Category 9 (transport outbound). Booost aims to resolve these complications through the capabilities of its new platform.

Features of Booost Logistics

Booost Logistics serves as a comprehensive emission visualization module, consolidating data from self-operated transport (Scope 1) and outsourced transport (Scope 3). Notably, it supports automated reporting for compliance with energy conservation regulations.

The tool allows data entry categorized by transportation mode—road, maritime, rail, and air—and it accommodates various calculation methodologies, including the fuel method, fuel efficiency method, and conventional ton-kilometer method. Here are some pivotal features of Booost Logistics:

• - GHG Protocol Compliance: Covers Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions (Category 4 & 9).
• - Record Keeping for Outsourced Companies: Enables tracking of energy usage per vehicle.
• - Diverse Calculation Methods: Supports several methodologies for emissions calculations.
• - Versatile Transport Modes: Can manage emissions across different transportation methods.
• - Export Formats for Reporting: Outputs reports in formats compatible with multiple regulatory standards.
• - Energy Consumption Calculations: Apart from emissions, it also calculates energy usage for reporting requirements.

The firm has also filed patents for functionalities related to emission tracking during delivery and package weight management.

Future Plans

Looking forward, Booost is committed to refining its Scope 3 emission calculations further by introducing several enhancements. These include:

• - Addressing emissions resulting from refrigerant leaks during transport.
• - Managing energy consumption and refrigerant leaks at outsourced logistics points.
• - Incorporating life cycle emissions linked to vehicle and facility production.

Booost continues to support decarbonization in the logistics and transport sector while ensuring compliance with evolving regulations. By providing best practices tailored to different industries, they are actively contributing to the sustainability transformation of enterprises.

Tackling the Sustainability 2026 Challenge

Many companies are currently facing what is termed the 'Sustainability 2026 Challenge,' characterized by a delayed response to the mandatory disclosure of sustainability-related financial information. This inefficiency may lead to a decline in corporate value if not addressed timely. To combat this issue, Booost has initiated the 'Toward a Leading Sustainable Country' project, aiming for a transformative journey of Japanese enterprises towards enhancing their global presence through sustainable transformation.

The project includes initiatives tailored for both on-ground practitioners and executives, facilitating knowledge sharing and skills development across all levels.
