The challenge of accurate ESG disclosure and internal data management With Japanese companies preparing to implement SSBJ standards from fiscal year 2027 and CSRD requirements from 2028, the need for a reliable, scalable ESG data management tool is rising. Many companies still rely on manual processes to gather data from domestic and international sites, making it difficult to meet increasing regulatory expectations, ensure transparency, and establish workflows robust enough to withstand third-party assurance.

The built-in features of TERRAST and ESG UniVerse address these challenges and the platform has been further customized to support compliance with SSBJ and CSRD regulations. The platform will continue to be enhanced with new features over time.

Key features of the platform include: • Multi-framework compatibility: Compliant with SSBJ, CSRD (ESRS), and other global ESG frameworks. Users can select multiple frameworks, and the system auto generates templates tailored for each requirement.

• Flexible data collection and integration: Supports API connections, OCR-based GHG calculations, and bulk Excel uploads, and companies with existing data systems can continue using them.

• Governance-ready architecture: Include input/update/approval logs, role-based access control, and hierarchical design, all supporting third-party assurance requirements.

• Advanced analytics and visualization: Flexible dashboards, supporting management insights and internal communication.

• Framework aligned output: Generates structured outputs that align with regulatory requirements.

• Non-financial data as strategic management information: Custom KPIs aligned with company-specific materiality to leverage non-financial data for strategic decision-making.

• Gen AI capabilities: Enhance data collection & analysis, enriches content for reporting & disclosures, facilitates research across ESG landscape & provide insights for meeting an organization’s short & long term ESG vision.
