Asuene Expands Specialized Courses on SSBJ Compliance and CFP Calculation Practices in GX/ESG Video Learning Service "ASUENE ACADEMY"

Asuene Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Founder, Representative Director & CEO: Kohei Nishiwada; hereinafter "the Company") has significantly expanded its learning content lineup for the GX/ESG video learning service "ASUENE ACADEMY" by adding new specialized courses on SSBJ compliance, CFP calculation practices for suppliers, and GX literacy improvement for all employees. This update aims not only for participants to acquire knowledge but also to promote understanding among on-site personnel and enhance environmental awareness within companies. It contributes to solving corporate sustainability challenges such as responding to SSBJ disclosure standards and achieving Scope 3 Category 1 reduction targets. Background of the significant expansion of learning content Some prime listed companies in Japan are facing the SSBJ (Sustainability Standards Board of Japan) disclosure standards, which will be applied from the fiscal year ending March 2027. Appropriate information disclosure in compliance with SSBJ standards requires the cooperation of many internal stakeholders. Furthermore, accurate understanding of Scope 3, which represents emissions across the entire supply chain including business partners, is required, making it indispensable to initiate practical work and establish a system involving both internal and external stakeholders. To continuously address these issues, cooperation from not only the sustainability promotion department but also related departments such as purchasing, manufacturing, and logistics, as well as a wide range of suppliers, is essential. However, emissions calculation, including Scope 3, is highly specialized, and the lack of sufficient sharing of the significance of disclosure and practical procedures on-site has been a factor in the stagnation of calculation and disclosure practices. Against this backdrop, there is a growing demand for an "easy-to-understand learning environment" where internal and external stakeholders can correctly understand the significance and become self-reliant. In response, the Company has significantly expanded its learning content so that anyone can learn and directly apply it to their work. Content added/renewed in "ASUENE ACADEMY" These courses primarily target promotion managers of large companies urgently needing SSBJ compliance and companies seeking activity data provision and cooperation from suppliers for Scope 3 calculation. ・SSBJ Compliance Practical Course Participants can systematically learn about activity data items such as electricity and fuel consumption, and raw material purchase volumes required by SSBJ standards, as well as calculation methods. They will acquire specific practical procedures and judgment criteria on how to request calculation items such as electricity and fuel consumption and raw material purchase volumes from each department and suppliers, along with documents such as invoices and delivery notes. ・LCA/CFP Calculation and Reporting Practical Course This course aims to understand the significance of emissions calculation and reduction in Scope 3 Category 1, which represents purchased goods and services requiring information collection from suppliers. It explains specific steps for suppliers to establish a system for calculating and reporting LCA/CFP themselves. ・GX Literacy Course This course aims to understand the fundamental significance of "why companies are working on decarbonization" and "how SSBJ compliance affects management." It promotes company-wide cooperation by ensuring that each employee recognizes that "their company's decarbonization management leads to increased corporate value."
