Asuene
Enterprise climate cloud platform for carbon management
About Asuene
Asuene is a Japanese climate-tech company founded in 2019 by Kohei Nishiwada, who serves as its CEO. Nishiwada's background in the renewable energy sector, including his work with Mitsui Corporation Trading House, inspired the company's initial focus. In 2021, Asuene pivoted to carbon accounting software in response to evolving sustainability regulations in Japan. The company's mission is "to make a better world for next generations" by addressing climate change.
The company offers a comprehensive suite of sustainability solutions centered around its enterprise climate cloud platform, "ASUENE". This all-in-one solution is designed to help businesses measure, report, reduce, and verify their carbon emissions. Key features include greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, ESG supply chain management, a carbon credit exchange, and third-party verification services. The platform integrates with client ERP systems and uses AI-powered OCR to automate data collection from sources like invoices. Asuene also provides Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculations for products and services.
Asuene operates on a B2B model, serving over 17,000 clients worldwide, with a strong presence in the manufacturing and construction industries. Its clientele includes notable companies like the Sony Group and Nidec Corporation. In addition to its software platform, Asuene offers consulting services to help companies with decarbonization strategies and reporting for global frameworks such as CDP, SBTi, TCFD, and CSRD. The company has expanded its services through acquisitions, including the US-based carbon management platform nZero, and partnerships to enhance its offerings. Asuene also operates Carbon EX, a carbon credit and emissions trading platform, in a joint venture with SBI Holdings.
Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, Asuene has expanded globally with offices in Singapore, the US, the Philippines, and Europe. The company has raised over $70 million in funding from investors including Pavilion Capital, Salesforce Ventures, and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group.
