## Product Background
Socious Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Sera Yoon) has commenced full-scale provision of "Socious Report," an AI-powered sustainability reporting platform.
CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), SSBJ (Sustainability Standards Board of Japan), ISSB (International Sustainability Standards Board, IFRS S1/S2) — Japanese companies are being compelled to simultaneously comply with these three major sustainability disclosure standards between 2026 and 2028. Japanese subsidiaries of EU parent companies must comply with CSRD, companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market must comply with SSBJ, and globally operating companies must comply with ISSB — many companies must prepare for disclosure under multiple standards in parallel.
"Socious Report" is an AI-first platform designed to complete compliance with these multiple standards through a single disclosure process.
### Three Features of Socious Report
- **Compliance with 3 Standards in a Single Disclosure Process**
Automatically maps common data points across CSRD (approx. 1,000 ESRS data points), SSBJ (applicable standards), and ISSB (IFRS S1/S2). Data entered once is automatically reflected in disclosure documents for all three standards. There is no need to enter the same data three times.
- **Automation of Double Materiality Assessment**
Supports the double materiality assessment process required by CSRD (Impact Materiality × Financial Materiality) with AI that integrates industry benchmarks, stakeholder opinions, and financial impact simulations. Assessments that previously took 2-3 months for expert review can be completed up to the initial draft stage in a few days.
- **Support for Scope 3 Supply Chain Emissions Calculation**
Supports AI-driven data collection and estimation of emissions from Tier-2 / Tier-3 suppliers across all 15 categories of the GHG Protocol. For suppliers with incomplete data, primary estimates based on industry averages are automatically calculated, designed to progressively improve disclosure accuracy.
### Anticipated Effects
- **Reduction in Work Hours:** Anticipated reduction of annual work hours for disclosure document creation by approximately 2,000 to 5,000 hours for a typical large enterprise.
- **Simultaneous Compliance with Multiple Standards:** Compresses redundant external consulting costs by simultaneously complying with CSRD, SSBJ, and ISSB.
- **Streamlined Audit Response:** Data lineage and calculation bases are automatically recorded, reducing preparation efforts for assurance activities.
- **Continuous Improvement Cycle:** AI proposes improvement plans for the next year by conducting data-driven reviews of annual disclosures.
### Target Companies
- **Companies requiring CSRD compliance:** Japanese companies with large subsidiaries in the EU (estimated 500 companies), Japanese companies with sales exceeding 150 million euros in Europe.
- **Companies requiring SSBJ compliance:** Companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market (gradual application scheduled to start in April 2027).
- **Companies requiring ISSB compliance:** Globally operating companies voluntarily adopting IFRS S1/S2.
- **Companies requiring parallel compliance with GRI / TCFD / SASB.**
### Comment from Sera Yoon, Representative Director, Socious Inc.
"Sustainability disclosure is no longer an additional task for the CSR department; it has become a management issue that directly impacts corporate value. However, the redundant work for three different standards places an excessive burden on sustainability, accounting, IR, and legal departments.
Socious Report was designed to eliminate this 'duplication and triplication of disclosure work.' Our goal is to provide an environment where CSOs and sustainability managers can focus on their original strategic sustainability work, rather than being tied up with creating disclosure documents."
