Asuene Inc. has announced the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Anyflow Inc., a provider of API integration services, making it a wholly owned subsidiary. This acquisition aims to enhance the functionality of “ASUENE,” a carbon accounting platform.
Anyflow is a leading company in Japan, specializing in automation solutions for API integration between SaaS platforms and operating in the Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) sector.
With Anyflow joining the Asuene group, we will improve the automation capabilities of “Asuene” through API integration with other software. This integration will create an environment that enables our customers to manage decarbonization efforts more efficiently.
Issues in Advancing Corporate Decarbonization Efforts
To achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, it is essential for companies to visualize their CO2 emissions and actively work on reducing them. The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) has announced that starting with the fiscal year ending in March 2027, companies listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange with a market capitalization exceeding 3 trillion yen will be required to disclose their Scope 1-3 emissions in accordance with the SSBJ standards.
However, large companies facing this requirement encounter several challenges in obtaining the necessary activity data for CO2 emissions disclosure, as well as in collecting primary data from their supply chains. As digital transformation (DX) continues within these organizations, the integration of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems and SaaS tools has become increasingly complex, requiring substantial effort. Additionally, the operations and maintenance of these systems have grown more complicated, resulting in a significant shortage of human resources.
With limited staff in the IT department, large companies struggle to manage vast amounts of data and establish the infrastructure needed to visualize their CO2 emissions. Consequently, a substantial portion of resources is being dedicated to building this infrastructure to enhance decarbonization efforts, making it difficult for companies to respond quickly to the requirements.
Background of ASUENE's Group Join
Asuene provides a variety of products in the decarbonization and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) sectors. Among these is “ASUENE,” a climate cloud service, and “ASUENE ESG,” an ESG evaluation service. “ASUENE” is trusted by over 10,000 companies, achieving the best performance in the domestic market. These clients come from diverse industries, including manufacturing and finance, which showcases the wide applicability and acceptance of our solutions.
With the help of Anyflow’s advanced API integration technology, “ASUENE” simplifies the collection of CO2 emissions data. This not only reduces the time and cost linked to complex data integration but also ensures the accuracy of primary data required for effective decarbonization management. By utilizing this reliable data, companies can easily visualize CO2 emissions throughout their entire supply chain, significantly lowering the barriers to advancing their decarbonization efforts.
Anyflow’s iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) business has a high growth potential and technological capabilities, having secured approximately 340 million yen in funding from leading venture capital firms in Japan. This underscores our commitment to innovation and highlights our potential for significant growth. To further promote the development of a decarbonized society, we have joined the Asuene group with the main objective of enhancing the API integration of “ASUENE” with other software platforms.
What a group join can achieve
Anyflow’s iPaaS technology stands out in the industry by offering seamless data integration between companies. Its key strength lies in the API integration of financial and HR data. This unique feature will enhance the integration of API data between “ASUENE” and major SaaS services, facilitating the rapid acquisition of activity data needed to calculate Scope 1-3 emissions. By using Anyflow’s iPaaS technology, the workload associated with data integration in corporate information systems can be significantly reduced, leading to smoother progress in visualizing CO2 emissions. This will elevate the SaaS infrastructure of “ASUENE” to a global standard, enhancing its competitive advantage both domestically and internationally.
Through this merger and acquisition (M&A), we will provide a more comprehensive service, supporting companies not only in visualizing CO2 emissions data but also in implementing reduction commitments. With your support, we aim to accelerate the digital transformation of a decarbonized society and continue to grow toward our mission of “Changing the world for the next generation.”
I am excited to be a part of the Asuene Group. With this collaboration, we will not only expand Anyflow’s current business but also enhance the efficiency of CO2 emissions data collection and visualization through our API integration technology in partnership with Asuene. As decarbonization management becomes more important, we aim to create value by leveraging both of our strengths to assist companies in achieving their sustainability goals.
CEO, Anyflow, Inc.
I am excited to announce the partnership between Anyflow and the Asuene Group. As the importance of corporate decarbonization management grows both in Japan and globally, we are eager to utilize Anyflow’s advanced software API integration solutions. These tools will help us automate the collection and integration of activity data for calculating CO2 emissions, fostering a more effective environment for our decarbonization efforts.
Looking ahead, we are enthusiastic about the future and are committed to strengthening our collaboration with Anyflow’s CEO, Sakamoto, the management team, and all team members as we work together to create synergies between our companies.
