Unravel AI Realizes 80%+ Efficiency in Sustainability Operations - World's Latest 'Unravel Data Collection Agent' Launches in Japan

TOKYO — [April 28, 2026] — Unravel Carbon, a Singapore-based AI climate tech startup, officially launched its AI agent solution, 'Unravel Data Collection Agent,' in the Japanese market at 'SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026' on April 28, 2026.

In the face of chronic labor shortages, many sustainability departments have been struggling with a small team using manual methods like Excel, email, and phone calls to handle ever-increasing disclosure requirements. The 'Unravel Data Collection Agent' autonomously collects data 24/7/365 from all data owners, including suppliers, internal bases, and portfolio companies, fundamentally solving this structural inefficiency.

While finance departments have ERP, tech departments have cloud services, and sales departments have CRM, sustainability departments finally have a full-fledged AI solution.

Track Record: Up to 83%+ Reduction in Data Collection Man-hours

Companies that have introduced Unravel AI have reduced their sustainability-related workload by an average of over 50% and up to 90%. In data collection specifically, tasks that previously took six weeks are completed in just one week after implementation, achieving a radical improvement in efficiency.

Work Process | Conventional Manual Work | After Implementation | Reduction Rate
Data Collection | 6 weeks | 1 week | 83% or more
Emissions Calculation | 8 weeks | 2 weeks | 75% or more
Disclosure Prep/Reporting | 12 weeks | 4 weeks | 66% or more
Gap Analysis | 8 weeks | 2 minutes | 99% or more

63% of Companies Still Work Manually — 2027 SSBJ Mandatory Disclosure Approaches

According to a survey by Reuters Events (2026), 63% of companies still manage sustainability data manually. In Japan, mandatory disclosure under SSBJ standards will start gradually from the fiscal year ending March 2027, beginning with top market cap companies on the Prime Market. As regulatory compliance accelerates, collecting supplier data in Scope 3 has emerged as the biggest practical challenge.

Suppliers often number from dozens to hundreds, and individual collection, reminders, and data standardization for each bring a massive workload to sustainability managers. Failure to comply with disclosure obligations carries risks such as loss of trust from investors and partners or a drop in ESG scores. 'Unravel Data Collection Agent' solves this fundamental structural problem with the power of AI.

Comment: Kanon Nomura (Country Manager)
"I still remember the day a customer saw our product demo and told us, 'The world line is different.' When data collection ends in a week, it is not efficiency. It is a transformation. We want sustainability managers in Japan to be able to focus on their original task: decarbonization measures."
