Asuene Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director CEO: Kohei Nishiwada) has launched support for 11 languages in its LCA/CFP calculation service "ASUENE LCA". This initiative aims to streamline primary data collection from overseas bases and suppliers, support compliance with international regulations such as the EU's CBAM, and reduce the operational burden associated with LCA calculations.
Background of "ASUENE LCA" Multilingual Version Development
In corporate decarbonization management, the importance of understanding and disclosing CO2 emissions across the entire supply chain in an externally explainable manner is increasing. In the EU, CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) has been fully enforced since January 2026. When importing target products such as steel, aluminum, and cement into the EU, companies are required to report CO2 emissions during the manufacturing process and pay a carbon price (CBAM certificate) corresponding to those emissions.
Due to these strengthened regulations, companies need to understand product-specific emissions, i.e., Carbon Footprint (CFP), and submit reliable calculation data. For this, it is essential to establish a system for collecting primary data from their own bases, as well as overseas manufacturing bases and suppliers, and conducting LCA calculations.
However, language differences have been a barrier to data collection and input, leading to information gaps and increased operational burden. Furthermore, there is a growing need for global companies to establish systems for calculating and disclosing their own emissions, driven by requests from international clients. Especially in manufacturing industries such as electronic components, chemicals, and consumer goods, and in the logistics sector, there is an increasing demand to understand and disclose Scope 3 supply chain emissions.
Against this background, our company is promoting the multilingualization of "ASUENE LCA" to support efficient global data collection and calculation operations.
Details of Multilingual Support
"ASUENE LCA" now supports 11 languages, including Japanese, English, Chinese, Thai, French, and German. It can be utilized for reporting operations targeting European markets in anticipation of CBAM compliance, as well as for manufacturing bases in Asia.
This support creates an environment where overseas bases and suppliers can input data in their native languages, improving the accuracy of primary data collection and reducing operational burden. Additionally, "ASUENE LCA" supports data management based on third-party verification, assisting in establishing systems that meet international disclosure requirements and demands from business partners.
"ASUENE LCA" achieves both reduced operational burden and improved data reliability in LCA/CFP calculations, providing a foundation for companies to continuously manage and utilize data.
