Booost's New Approach to Manufacturing Sustainability

Booost Inc., based in Shinagawa, Tokyo and led by CEO Hiroshi Aoi, has launched its first industry-specialized solution 'booost Manufacturing'. This innovative platform is designed to facilitate sustainability transformations (SX) for companies, particularly within the manufacturing sector. This offering combines the strengths of their leading sustainability ERP software with specific best practices tailored for the manufacturing industry.

The Landscape for Manufacturing Today

In today’s world, the focus on sustainability-related financial disclosures is becoming increasingly vital for businesses. The recent introduction of Japan's unique sustainability disclosure standards by the Sustainability Standards Board Japan (SSBJ), effective from March 5, 2025, aligns with the global standards set forth by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). As transparency has become paramount, especially in Europe with stringent regulations for eco-design and digital product passports, manufacturers must adapt to a new operational climate.

For companies dealing in materials and components, demonstrating a product's carbon footprint (PCF) is becoming increasingly necessary, particularly with the implementation of carbon border adjustment mechanisms (CBAM). As such, understanding and accurately calculating Scope 3 emissions within supply chains is critical, challenging firms that must now assess and publish detailed carbon emission data.

Exploring 'booost Manufacturing'

Targeting these challenges head-on, 'booost Manufacturing' is specifically crafted to accelerate sustainability in manufacturing. It allows companies to visualize emissions across the entire global supply chain while calculating emissions at a product level, all through an integrated solution. By adopting this platform, businesses will not only meet compliance needs but also proactively engage in emissions reduction strategies that enhance overall corporate value.

Key Features of 'booost Manufacturing'

• - PACT Methodology Compliance: The platform standardizes PCF calculations, allowing for exchange and integration of data across the entire value chain, adhering to global standards.
• - Compliance with CSRD and SSBJ: It addresses sustainability disclosure requirements, facilitating elaborate PCF calculations in line with international guidelines.
• - Supplier Engagement Automation: From conducting environmental due diligence to gathering primary data, the solution automates supplier engagement in a streamlined manner.

Noteworthy Functionalities

• - Comprehensive Emission Calculation: Effective integration of lifecycle data to manage energy consumption, waste production, and other key metrics from procurement to dispatch.
• - Granular Process Analysis: Facilitates emission calculations per manufacturing process using a Bill of Materials (BOM) structure, assessing emissions factor by component.
• - Production Process Optimization: Conducts assessments based on data gathered from multiple factories and suppliers, providing a cohesive view.
• - Simulation Capabilities: Facilitates 'What-If' analyses to estimate reductions based on changes in production equipment or energy sources.

Upcoming Webinar for the Manufacturing Sector

Booost is hosting a free online seminar titled "Why Are Product-Specific Emissions Essential for Environmental Value?" on August 6, 2025, to delve deeper into the importance of establishing product environmental values, particularly in the context of the latest regulatory trends. This event is tailored for professionals involved in the manufacturing and distribution of green fuels and recycled materials, as well as those looking to optimize CO2 emissions management strategies.

Event Details:

• - Title: Why Are Product-Specific Emissions Essential for Environmental Value?
• - Date: August 6, 2025, from 14:00 to 15:00
• - Mode: Online Webinar via Zoom
• - Cost: Free (Pre-registration Required)

The Push Towards Sustainability 2026

As many companies face the 'Sustainability 2026 Problem', stemming from delays in meeting new disclosure requirements, Booost initiated the 'Japan as a Leader in SX' project in November 2024 to address these challenges effectively. This project encompasses workshops and support initiatives aimed at improving corporate sustainability efforts and enhancing the global competitiveness of Japanese firms.
