Background of the establishment of the new company “Asuene Veritas” and the business acquisition
“ASUENE” is the leading carbon accounting platform in Japan and Asia, with over 9,000 customers. We offer “ASUENE” to support companies in achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
As we assist businesses in calculating CO2 emissions and other non-financial information, we have noticed a growing demand for third-party verification and validation of these data, as well as enhanced system functionalities to support third-party assurance and future audits. Starting from the fiscal year ending March 2027, large corporations with a market capitalization exceeding JPY 3 trillion will be required to disclose information related to sustainability and climate change. This means that third-party verification and auditing of non-financial information have become urgent issues.
To meet these customer needs, Asuene has entered discussions with CoRocket and established a new company, “Asuene Veritas,” leveraging their skilled personnel and resources. We have recruited highly specialized staff from major audit firms, such as KPMG, KPMG AZSA, and Deloitte Tohmatsu, and will continue to develop robust business partnerships in the future. With these capabilities, “Asuene Veritas” will provide third-party verification services for non-financial data, as well as a range of climate change advisory services, including support for compliance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
“Asuene Veritas” will enhance its service capabilities for both existing and new customers of “ASUENE,” aiming to expand third-party verification and assurance in the non-financial sector and grow its advisory business.
