Service Overview
Since the Japanese government's 2050 carbon-neutral declaration, private companies have accelerated their efforts towards decarbonization. Recently, there has been a growing demand for the disclosure of climate change initiatives, driven by increased interest from various stakeholders, including investors, financial institutions, and business partners. Our firm supports companies in their efforts towards decarbonization by leveraging the latest policy trends and field knowledge gained from numerous support projects, across the following phases:
- Calculation of supply chain GHG emissions (Scope 1, 2, 3)
- Setting GHG emission reduction targets and roadmaps (e.g., obtaining SBT certification)
- Establishing climate change governance and carbon management systems (e.g., internal carbon pricing)
- Formulating GHG reduction measures and implementing carbon offsets
- Conducting climate change scenario analysis
- Identifying and disclosing climate-related risks and opportunities (e.g., TCFD, CDP, IFRS S1/S2, securities reports)
- Obtaining third-party verification based on international standards (e.g., PAS2060/ISO14068 for carbon neutrality, PAS2080 for carbon management in construction and infrastructure)
Consulting Approach
The rules surrounding climate change are rapidly evolving, and the quality of a company's decarbonization efforts is increasingly scrutinized. Our firm assists with all aspects of climate change response, from identifying issues and educating management, to calculating GHG emissions, creating reduction roadmaps, identifying risks and opportunities, and conducting scenario analysis.
For specific emission reduction measures, we propose a wide range of actions tailored to each company's needs, considering costs and priorities, from urgent actions to advanced demonstration phases. We support not only the planning but also the execution phase, ensuring clients can independently continue their efforts after consulting. Additionally, we assist in obtaining third-party verification based on international standards, incorporating the latest developments in international climate-related disclosure standards and regulations.
