An ecosystem-led approach to decarbonization ops

Updated by Onye Dike on January 23rd, 2026
Zeroboard Sustainability Platform is a Japan-based cloud suite for organizations that must quantify and disclose ESG and greenhouse-gas data across subsidiaries and supply chains. It targets sustainability, finance, and procurement teams that need Scope 1–3 inventories and product-level carbon footprints, not just high-level estimates. Zeroboard focuses on structured data collection from group companies and suppliers, governance for evidence and approvals, and outputs geared to external reporting. Many users are manufacturing groups with supply chains. For firms under growing disclosure pressure, it is positioned as an operational system that supports recurring calculation cycles and follow-on reduction planning.

Core Features

Zeroboard’s approach centers on building an emissions “ledger” that can be refined over time: it combines activity data with emission factors, and it explicitly highlights the value of supplier primary data for Scope 3 quality. Some organizations also start with purchase-amount proxies and then shift toward physical-quantity calculations as data maturity improves. Some of its main features are:

  • Scope 1–3 accounting: Calculates and visualizes Scope 1, 2, and 3 based on widely used standards.

  • Product carbon footprint (CFP): Supports product/service CFP calculations, including life-cycle stages from procurement through end-of-life.

  • Supplier engagement workflows: Supports supplier data collection and SAQ-style questionnaires as part of upstream Scope 3 improvement.

  • Disclosure-ready outputs: Produces outputs positioned for formats used in reporting and disclosure (e.g., TCFD) and is marketed for CSRD/TNFD-oriented compliance needs.

  • Reduction management support: Includes reduction-management concepts such as cost-effect simulation on dashboards.

  • Expert and ecosystem support: Offers expert guidance and an ecosystem of partner solutions intended to connect accounting results to reduction actions.

Closing Insights

Zeroboard was founded in Japan in 2021 after CEO Michitaka Tokeiji executed an MBO of the “zeroboard” business. Tokeiji’s background spans engineering (University of Tokyo) and capital markets roles at JP Morgan Securities and Mitsui & Co., which shows up in the platform’s emphasis on auditability, reporting discipline, and links to financing conversations.

Zeroboard positions itself around data that can stand up to scrutiny: it cites ISO 14064-3–aligned assurance procedures and ISMS (ISO/IEC 27001) qualification, and it promotes an ecosystem of 100+ partners for reduction support. It is used for corporate and product accounting with Toyota Tsusho announcing that it would use zeroboard to accelerate Scope 3 management. For events, the Osaka/Kansai Expo 2025 monitors GHG emissions using the platform.

Buyers might want to consider Zeroboard when they operate across Japan and Asia and need outputs for frameworks such as TCFD, CSRD, or TNFD, plus supplier engagement via questionnaires. Pricing is offered in “entry models” described as affordable, with quotes and demos handled on request. Notable integrations and partnerships include GHG-data sharing with EcoNiPass and a Scope 2 support partnership with Shizen Energy.
