Booost Partners Gather for FY26 Conference

In January 2026, Booost Corporation, renowned for providing the leading market share in sustainability ERP solutions, held its FY26 Booost Partner Conference in Shinagawa, Tokyo. This event brought together partner companies to discuss the theme "Transforming Sustainability into Corporate Value through Partnerships." The conference showcased Booost's business and partnership strategies, highlighting real-life collaboration examples and future prospects in sustainability initiatives.

Key Highlights of the Conference

The conference kicked off with a presentation from Hiroki Aoi, the CEO of Booost, who discussed the significance of the "Sustainability ERP" as a management OS. He elaborated on the need for businesses to connect non-financial data to financial impacts, especially prompted by the introduction of the SSBJ system. Aoi emphasized that this tool can effectively support management decisions and enhance corporate value. He outlined Booost's growth strategy, which includes offering multiple modules through a single platform and targeting the CXO demographic.

Following this, Rina Koyanizu, head of the Alliance Sales Department, presented on Booost's overarching partner strategy aimed at realizing their business plan for FY26. By leveraging their core strategies, Booost aims to create a comprehensive partner ecosystem that supports everything from strategy formulation to solution delivery and implementation. She explained the importance of defining roles for different types of partnerships and promoting replicable collaboration models.

Key actions outlined for FY26 included formulating Joint Business Plans (JBP) with partners, implementing collaborative solution models, and co-developing packages to accelerate Sustainability Transformation (SX) and Green Transformation (GX) among Japanese enterprises.

Insights from Partner Companies

During the conference, notable partner companies, ABeam Consulting and BIPROGY, provided insights into their initiatives. ABeam's Senior Manager Shinichiro Morito shared a project aimed at building a sustainability infrastructure for a major logistics company using "booost Sustainability.“ The project involved transitioning from a scratch system to a SaaS-based solution, which improved data accuracy and facilitated rapid reporting in compliance with SSBJ requirements.

From BIPROGY, Toshi Mukai, head of strategic planning, discussed their support for an automotive parts manufacturer, Nifco, in implementing "booost Sustainability." He highlighted how BIPROGY enabled centralized global management of GHG emissions and energy data in alignment with international standards such as SSBJ and CSRD. They completed the implementation swiftly and are currently focusing on ensuring widespread operational integration across the company.

FY25 Booost Award Winners

The conference concluded with the presentation of the FY25 Booost Partner Award, which recognized partners for their outstanding collaboration. Honored were ABeam Consulting’s Principal Shuhei Toyoshima and BIPROGY’s Toshi Mukai. The awards reflected gratitude for their contributions and set expectations for ongoing cooperation to drive SX and GX initiatives in Japan.

Booost is proactively addressing these challenges through the launch of the “Japan as a Leader in SX” project in November 2024. This initiative aims to enhance the global presence of Japanese companies by pushing for SX advancements and improvements in corporate value. Events and support measures targeting practical staff and executives will unfold concurrently.
