Booost Launches 'booost CBAM' Application for EU/UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism Compliance, Offered Free of Charge
Booost Inc. has developed 'booost CBAM', Japan's first application for EU and UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) compliance, enabling real data integration and emissions management across the supply chain. It will be offered free of charge from April 1, 2026, until September 2026, to support Japanese companies.

Booost Inc. (Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hironori Aoi; hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), which supports corporate SX (Sustainability Transformation)*3 through the provision of "Sustainability ERP*1" with the No. 1 share* among major companies and the advocacy of the "Sustainability 2026 Problem*2", has developed "booost CBAM", an application that realizes real data integration in the supply chain and emissions management compliant with EU CBAM requirements, making it the first of its kind in Japan, in preparation for compliance with the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (hereinafter referred to as CBAM) of the EU and the United Kingdom (UK). From today, April 1, 2026, until September 2026, when the EU CBAM implementing acts are expected to be fully in place, the application will be offered free of charge to support Japanese companies.
"booost CBAM" is an additional function of the data collaboration platform "booost Data EX-PF".

*Japan's first: According to our company's research
## Background
With the full-scale implementation of EU CBAM approaching, companies are now required to grasp and report emissions on a product and facility basis using "actual data". However, in the current supply chain, emissions data is unevenly distributed upstream, creating a structural disconnect where it does not sufficiently reach midstream and downstream companies. Furthermore, due to complex commercial flows, multi-stage transactions, and transaction forms such as over-the-counter sales and inventory items, it is difficult to link products with raw materials and manufacturing processes. The acquisition and integration of actual data still rely on individual requests via email or Excel, remaining inefficient and dependent on individual efforts.
As a result, many companies are unable to grasp actual emissions and are forced to rely on prescribed emission factors (default values).
This not only leads to carbon cost burdens that could otherwise be avoided but also poses a risk of "data not connecting" across the entire supply chain. If this continues, Japanese companies face the risk that the "lack of data connection" from upstream to downstream in the supply chain itself will lead to a decline in international competitiveness.
To solve this structural problem, the Company has developed "booost CBAM", an application that safely and efficiently integrates the data necessary for CBAM compliance. By standardizing the implementation of CBAM compliance based on actual data, we will protect the competitiveness of Japanese companies and contribute to accelerating the realization of SX.
## Overview and Details
"booost CBAM" is an application specialized for CBAM compliance, built on the existing data collaboration platform "booost Data EX-PF". For compliance with European regulations including CBAM, a cross-supply chain data distribution platform that ensures data sovereignty and traceability is required, not just data collection and integration.
