Global Brain has invested in ASUENE Inc. (ASUENE), a company providing one-stop decarbonization and ESG management solutions, through its JGC MIRAI Innovation Fund L.P. (JGC MIRAI Innovation Fund) and SFV･GB II L.P. (SFV･GB II). ASUENE is driven by its mission of “Changing the world for the next generation” and provides a diverse range of solutions that support corporate decarbonization management and sustainability initiatives. Its core product, also called ASUENE, is a carbon accounting cloud service that enables comprehensive management of CO₂ emissions—for measurement, reduction, and reporting—based on the GHG Protocol, helping companies comply with international disclosure standards. In addition, the company operates multiple services in the non-financial domain, including ASUENE SUPPLY CHAIN, a cloud service that centralizes all supplier ESG/CSR surveys; ASUENE VERITAS, a third-party assurance service for non-financial information; Carbon EX, a carbon credit and emissions trading exchange jointly established with the SBI Group; and ASUENE CAREER, a job platform specializing in Green Transformation (GX) professionals. Through these services, ASUENE provides comprehensive support for companies’ sustainability management. As GHG and Sustainability disclosure becomes an irreversible global trend, companies face high operational burdens across data collection, calculation, analysis, reduction, offsetting, reporting, and assurance. ASUENE is one of the players capable of offering an end-to-end solution to these challenges. ASUENE continues to expand its business both in Japan and overseas, aiming to become a global leader originating from Japan in the sustainability domain. Global Brain has decided to invest in ASUENE, recognizing its socially significant mission to enable corporate decarbonization and ESG management, as well as the team’s strong commitment and execution capability. In collaboration with the JGC Group and Sony Financial Ventures Inc., Global Brain will provide wide-ranging management support to contribute to ASUENE’s domestic and global business expansion and enhanced corporate value.
