The Gunma Bank, Ltd. (Maebashi City, Gunma Prefecture, President: Akihiko Fukai; hereinafter 'Gunma Bank') and Sustech Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, Co-CEOs: Yusuke Tanno & Yuichiro Iida; hereinafter 'Sustech') announce the start of a collaboration utilizing the decarbonization support platform 'CARBONIX' to comprehensively assist Gunma Bank's clients, from the visualization of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the execution of reduction measures.
Background
In recent years, as requests for decarbonization across the entire supply chain have rapidly increased, it has become essential for regional companies to grasp and reduce their GHG emissions. On the other hand, many companies face challenges such as a lack of specialized personnel and resources for collecting and analyzing data necessary for calculating emissions, and for considering and executing reduction measures.
In its medium-term management plan, Gunma Bank has set goals of '1,000 decarbonization support cases (3-year cumulative)' and '1.2 trillion yen in sustainable finance execution (3-year cumulative),' promoting decarbonization support for regional companies as a priority measure. This collaboration aims to further sophisticate and accelerate these efforts.
Details of the Collaboration
Through this collaboration, Gunma Bank's corporate clients can utilize 'CARBONIX' provided by Sustech to comprehensively promote the following:
- Visualization of GHG emissions, including Scope 1, 2, and 3
- Design of emission reduction targets and progress management
- Support for executing specific reduction measures, including the introduction of renewable energy
This enables companies to efficiently and practically advance their decarbonization efforts while minimizing additional burdens and operational workloads.
Going forward, both companies will expand the introduction of this service through Gunma Bank's extensive customer base, supporting the advancement of decarbonization management among regional companies, and contributing to the realization of carbon neutrality across the region and the construction of a sustainable industrial foundation.
