Socious Launches Free AI Diagnostic Tool 'SSBJ Readiness Check' for SSBJ April 2027 Application – Visualizing 7 Axes of Readiness in 3 Minutes

Background to the Launch

Socious Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Sera Yoon) today (May 11, 2026) announced the launch of 'SSBJ Readiness Check,' a free AI diagnostic tool that allows TSE Prime listed companies to assess their preparedness for the Sustainability Standards Board of Japan (SSBJ) disclosure standards, which are scheduled for gradual application from the fiscal year ending April 2027, in just three minutes.

This marks the first initiative in Japan for an AI-based diagnostic tool specifically focused on SSBJ and ISSB (IFRS S1/S2) compliance.

Background of Development – "Preparation period until end of 2026" is the practical limit

Approximately 1,600 companies listed on the TSE Prime Market are expected to gradually apply the SSBJ disclosure standards from the fiscal year ending April 2027. To implement all these requirements—governance systems, strategy and risk management, scenario analysis, Scope 1/2/3 emissions, data collection infrastructure, and third-party assurance—within one year, the practical deadline for current status assessment and planning is effectively the end of 2026.

However, many companies have relied on initial diagnostics from external consultants (costing several million yen) without having a means to objectively grasp "how prepared they are now."

'SSBJ Readiness Check' effectively lowers the barrier for this initial diagnosis to virtually zero, providing an environment where all eligible companies can visualize their current status.

Three Features of the Tool

1. Visualize SSBJ Readiness across 7 Axes in 3 Minutes

Based on answers to simple questions (taking approximately 3 minutes) regarding the seven core axes of SSBJ application standards—governance, strategy, risk management, metrics and targets, data infrastructure, internal controls, and third-party assurance—the tool instantly calculates a company's readiness score and priority areas for action.

2. AI-powered Industry Benchmark

Based on the industry code and sales scale provided, the tool calculates a comparative score against the average readiness of peer companies. This allows companies to understand their position within the industry.

3. Free and Available Without Registration

No email address or company name registration is required. Results are displayed instantly in the browser. A detailed report can be requested via the contact form only if desired.

Comment from Sera Yoon, Representative Director, Socious Inc.

"The SSBJ application from April 2027 is not just about complying with disclosure standards; it's a turning point that will reorganize the entire sustainability operations of Japanese companies. On the other hand, the high barrier to initial diagnosis has left many companies in a state of 'not knowing where to start.'

'SSBJ Readiness Check' effectively lowers this initial barrier to zero, providing an environment where all eligible companies can objectively grasp their current situation and strategically begin to move forward.

Through 'Socious Report,' our AI-first sustainability reporting platform, we will continue to provide an environment where sustainability officers can focus on essential strategic sustainability tasks rather than being consumed by disclosure operations."
