aiESG Inc. (Headquarters: Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City; CEO: Shunsuke Managi), which provides a cloud-based ESG analysis platform for supply chains at the product and service level, and Zevero Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo; CEO: Shigeo Takeuchi), a global startup supporting decarbonization management using AI, are collaborating to jointly offer comprehensive ESG solutions—covering Environment (E), Social (S), and Governance (G)—both domestically and internationally. The collaboration will include joint proposals to clients that combine aiESG’s AI-driven supply chain risk analysis with Zevero’s AI-based automation of Scope 1–3 emissions calculations and decarbonization implementation support.

Background and Objectives

As the movement toward net-zero emissions accelerates around the world, companies are under pressure to accurately and efficiently identify and steadily reduce greenhouse gas emissions originating from their value chains, i.e., Scope 3 emissions. In addition, with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards now in effect, there is a growing awareness of the need to integrate not only environmental (E) but also social (S) and governance (G) as well as the environment (E).

In response to this trend, aiESG, which uses AI to analyze ESG risks in the supply chain from multiple perspectives, and Zevero, which uses AI to calculate Scope 1-3 and support the implementation of decarbonization strategies, will collaborate to complement each other's strengths, aiming to develop a total ESG solution on a global scale. Zevero will provide a total ESG solution on a global scale.
