Asuene establishes a new company, Asuene Veritas, through the acquisition of a third-party verification business for GHG emissions and non-financial data, as its first M&A deal.

Asuene Inc. has completed an M&A deal for CoRocket Co, LTD., a third-party verification business for non-financial data. Along with acquiring personnel and resources, Asuene established a new company, Asuene Veritas Inc., on August 1, 2024. Asuene Veritas provides third-party verification for climate change and non-financial data, offering one-stop support from third-party assurance to verification during disclosure.

Background of the establishment of the new company “Asuene Veritas” and the business acquisition
“ASUENE” is the No.1 carbon accounting platform in Japan and Asia, and surpassed 9,000 number of customers. We provide “ASUENE”, a carbon accounting platform to support companies in achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

As we support companies with calculating CO2 emissions data and other non-financial information, we have recognized a growing demand for third-party verification and validation of data, as well as system functionalities to enhance third-party assurance and future audits. Starting from the fiscal year ending March 2027, large corporations with a market capitalization of over JPY 3 trillion are expected to be required to disclose information related to sustainability and climate change, making third-party verification and auditing of non-financial information an urgent issue.
