(Head office: Hakata-ku, Fukuoka; President: Shunsuke Managi; hereinafter "aiESG"), an ESG evaluation company, will cooperate with Taisei Corporation (Head office: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Yoshiro Aikawa) in developing the Nature Positive Evaluation Method, which Taisei Corporation announced on October 30, 2023 to begin development.
The final recommendations of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) were submitted in September 2023. With the release of these recommendations, companies and financial institutions are now under greater pressure than ever to assess the impacts and risks of their business activities on natural capital and biodiversity, and to disclose information more clearly on the sustainability of their activities. This is expected to accelerate the movement toward "nature positivity," which aims to restore "biodiversity" in the future.
The Nature Positive Evaluation Method is an evaluation method that quantitatively evaluates the impact of corporate activities on the natural environment from the perspective of consideration for natural capital* and economic factors. Shunsuke Managi, Representative Director of aiESG, is involved in the development of the method, which is specialized for construction projects, and aims to establish it as an objectively proven evaluation method for the relationship between corporate activities and natural capital.
aiESG participates in the TNFD Forum, which supports TNFD. Recognizing the importance of formulating business strategies that contribute to natural capital and appropriate information disclosure, we support the research and development of products and services that conform to ESG perspectives and the formulation of marketing and branding strategies through aiESG, a comprehensive ESG evaluation service for products and services.
In addition, aiESG's analytical methods are based on reliable research results from an academic perspective accumulated over many years by the Kyushu University ESG research team, to which the representative authors of the UN report and IPCC belong, and we also support ESG management through tailor-made analysis tailored to each company's needs.
If your company faces challenges in researching and developing ESG-conscious products and services, as well as in formulating marketing strategies, please feel free to contact us.

What is aiESG, a product-level ESG analysis service?
aiESG is the world's first service that enables comprehensive ESG analysis at the product and service level. Through AI analysis using our ESG supply chain big data, we can analyze CO2The analysis can be traced back through the supply chain, including not only greenhouse gases such as CO2, but also water resources, land modification, forest area, biomass usage, biodiversity, and other items that are subject to natural capital assessment, which have become increasingly important in recent years.

Furthermore, analysis by aiESG enables geographical estimation, which is difficult with conventional Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and visualization of environmental, social, and corporate governance hot spots, tracing back not only to direct suppliers, but also to secondary and upstream business partners.

In addition, since the only data required from the customer is product cost structure data or physical quantity data, ESG supply chain disclosures, which previously required enormous man-hours, are facilitated.
