The Company's mission is to "resolve the dichotomy between environment and economy." We operate businesses spanning carbon credit and environmental value platforms, GX advisory and disclosure support, primary industries and regional GX, behavioral change platforms, and GX-DX system development and data infrastructure construction.

Through our business portfolio, which comprehensively supports the creation, visualization, management, distribution, and utilization of environmental value, including our flagship product "JCX (Japan Carbon Credit Exchange)," we are promoting the creation of mechanisms that make it easier for companies, regions, and individuals to participate in GX.

Background of IVS2026 Exhibition: GX is Shifting from "Regulatory Compliance" to "Business Implementation"

Against the backdrop of policy promotion towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, expansion of GX investment, development of sustainability disclosure standards, and progress in the J-Credit system and carbon credit markets, the GX対応 required of companies is changing significantly.

In the past, GX and decarbonization were often viewed as initiatives primarily led by CSR, environmental, or sustainability departments. However, currently, grasping emissions, implementing reduction measures, addressing Scope 3 across the entire supply chain, disclosing climate-related information, utilizing carbon credits, and developing new businesses leveraging environmental value are becoming closely linked to companies' core management strategies.

GX is expanding beyond initiatives to simply reduce environmental impact, becoming a management theme related to investment decisions, fundraising, product/service development, relationships with business partners, recruitment, brand value, regional collaboration, and creating touchpoints with consumers.

In particular, for companies advancing decarbonization management, it is becoming important to integrate "measuring emissions," "reducing emissions," "disclosing," and "valuing" not as separate measures, but as a unified management process.

On the other hand, challenges in the GX field include the tendency for regulatory compliance, data preparation, reduction measures, carbon credit utilization, disclosure, regional projects, and internal/external communication to become fragmented. Many companies report that while they are calculating emissions, they are not fully utilizing this data for management decisions; while they are progressing with disclosure, they are not connecting it to actual reduction measures; and while they are interested in carbon credits, they find it difficult to design the specific creation, management, and utilization processes.

Furthermore, for local governments and regional businesses, a key challenge is how to visualize the environmental value sources present in their regions—such as forests, agricultural land, renewable energy, energy-saving equipment, tourism, transportation, public facilities, and resident behavior—and connect them to business and the regional economy. Advancing regional GX requires not only understanding regulations but also acquiring on-site data, designing business models, fostering collaboration with regional and external partners, and creating mechanisms to encourage participation from residents and consumers.

As an implementation-focused player that bridges these gaps and connects environmental value to actual business, regional activities, and consumer behavior, our company has established a comprehensive structure encompassing GX consulting, carbon credits, GX-DX system development, regional implementation, and behavioral change.

IVS2026 is a venue where startups, investors, large corporations, operating companies, government bodies, and media from both Japan and abroad gather. In particular, the "IVS Startup Market" is positioned as an exhibition and networking space where concrete business discussions and dialogues can occur for business partnerships, fundraising, recruitment, customer acquisition, and joint business creation.

Through our participation in IVS2026, we aim to connect GX not only to regulatory compliance but also to business growth, enhancement of regional value, and changes in consumer behavior, thereby expanding our touchpoints with diverse partners.

Purpose of Exhibition

Creating opportunities to meet partners who can advance environmental value from "concept" to "implementation"

In this exhibition, our company emphasizes engaging in dialogues that lead to concrete collaborations and social implementation, rather than merely exchanging information with companies and organizations interested in GX.

In the GX domain, regulations, technology, finance, regions, and consumer touchpoints are intricately intertwined. Therefore, initiatives that can be completed by a single company or local government have limitations. Collaboration is necessary for business companies, startups, investors, local governments, regional financial institutions, research institutions, and media to bring their respective strengths together and make environmental value commercially viable.

Through IVS2026, our company will pursue dialogues such as the following:

Collaboration with operating companies that view GX as an opportunity for new business and business growth

Discussions on capital and business alliances and growth strategies with CVCs and VCs

Formation of regional GX projects with local governments, regional financial institutions, and regional businesses

Joint examination of carbon credit creation, procurement, and utilization

System integration related to GX data infrastructure, emissions calculation, and Scope 3 compliance

Joint Proof of Concept (PoC) to promote behavioral change among consumers, employees, and local residents

Creation of environmental value originating from primary industries, forests, agricultural land, energy, and facility operations

Information dissemination, research, joint research, and social implementation collaboration with media and research institutions

Our company views environmental value as a continuous flow from "measurement," "reduction," "verification," "distribution," to "utilization." In this exhibition, we will discuss individually how our business, technologies, and expertise can be connected according to the challenges and concepts faced by each company and region.

Key Initiatives to Date

Broad support ranging from training and disclosure to LCA, J-Credit, GX-DX, and regional co-creation

Our company has supported companies and organizations across a wide range of areas, from GX concept formulation to practical implementation. This includes GX training, support for cloud migration of core systems, GX strategy and roadmap planning, disclosure support, LCA calculation support, J-Credit system registration support and creation project launch, TCFD recommendation-based disclosure support, mid-term roadmap development, and thermal management system construction support.

Our focus is on translating GX not merely into policy formulation or document creation, but into mechanisms that are actually operated within corporate activities and at the regional level. We provide implementation support tailored to the circumstances of each company and region, viewing emissions calculation, data preparation, regulatory compliance, system development, disclosure, and credit creation/utilization as an integrated process.

For example, in GX training, we organize information on regulatory trends, the basics of emissions calculation, business impact, and practical procedures so that management, business departments, and on-site staff can work together with a common understanding towards decarbonization management. In GX strategy and roadmap planning, we support the connection of reduction targets, implementation measures, investment decisions, and disclosure responses, taking into account the company's business structure and mid-to-long-term plans.

In LCA calculation support, we visualize the environmental impact across the entire lifecycle of products and services, assisting companies in utilizing this information for product development, procurement, customer explanations, and brand value enhancement. For J-Credit system registration support and creation project launch, we provide practical support for organizing system requirements, designing target activities, preparing necessary data, and managing applications and operations.

Furthermore, in the GX-DX domain, we are working to establish the data and operational infrastructure necessary for promoting GX through initiatives such as supporting the cloud migration of core systems and constructing thermal management systems. Continuous decarbonization requires a mechanism to accumulate, analyze, and improve data obtained from the field. Our company supports practical GX-DX from a perspective that understands both regulatory compliance and system implementation.

Additionally, our company has secured funding from J-POWER (Electric Power Development Co., Ltd.) and is engaged in the joint promotion of a carbon economy framework for individual participation and behavioral change measures. We are collaborating with energy companies and other partners towards the social implementation of new mechanisms that encourage individual environmental consideration by facilitating the utilization of fragmented carbon credits.

We are also advancing initiatives that span companies, regions, research institutions, events, and consumer touchpoints, such as regional GX co-creation programs, emissions calculation for events, and communication regarding the carbon economy in international forums. Through these activities, our company aims to implement GX not as a specialized field but as a mechanism for society as a whole.

Moving forward, our company will continue to work with diverse partners, including companies, local governments, regional businesses, financial institutions, research institutions, energy companies, and companies with consumer touchpoints, to implement environmental value in society and create new mechanisms where decarbonization and economic activities coexist.

Those Who Wish to Discuss at the IVS Venue

At our booth, we look forward to meeting with representatives from large corporations and operating companies engaged in GX, sustainability, and new business development; CVCs and VCs; regional financial institutions; local governments and regional businesses; operational managers in manufacturing, energy, real estate, distribution, and primary industries; companies considering the utilization of carbon credits and environmental value; companies exploring environmental data integration and joint PoCs; companies planning behavioral change measures leveraging consumer touchpoints; and media representatives.

At the booth, in addition to an overview of our business, we will engage in individual information exchange regarding business partnerships, joint verification, system integration, regional implementation, disclosure support, carbon credit utilization, and new business development utilizing environmental value, tailored to the GX promotion challenges and business concepts of each company and region.

In particular, we wish to discuss concrete collaboration possibilities with those who have the following challenges or concepts:

Desire to view GX as an opportunity for new business and business growth

Aim to connect emissions calculation and disclosure responses to actual reduction measures

Consideration for the creation, utilization, and offset design of carbon credits

Desire to incorporate environmental value functions into their own services or applications

Aim to create mechanisms that encourage decarbonization behavior among customers and employees

Desire to advance regional GX in collaboration with local governments and regional businesses

Consideration for creating environmental value utilizing forests, agricultural land, renewable energy, energy-saving equipment, etc.

Advancing GX data infrastructure and system integration

Development of brands, products, and services that utilize environmental value

We anticipate engaging in concrete discussions at the IVS venue with companies and organizations that wish to move beyond GX as merely "regulatory compliance" or a "cost," and instead connect it to business growth, enhancement of regional value, strengthening of customer touchpoints, behavioral change, and new revenue opportunities.
