About Bywill

Bywill Inc. is a Japanese firm dedicated to helping organizations achieve carbon neutrality. The company was established on November 11, 2013, and is led by CEO Yuichiro Shimomura and COO Yosuke Isa. It originated from the merger of Forward Inc. and Waara Inc., officially changing its name to Bywill Inc. on April 1, 2023.

The company's business model is centered around four key services: environmental value creation (credit creation), environmental value trading (credit procurement and intermediation), decarbonization consulting, and brand consulting. Bywill provides comprehensive, success-based support for creating J-Credits, managing the process from project registration to locating buyers without upfront fees. It also assists clients in procuring optimal carbon credits and certificates—such as J-Credits and international renewable energy certificates—to meet their specific goals, including participation in initiatives like CDP, SBT, and RE100. Their decarbonization consulting guides companies through emissions calculation, target setting, and reduction strategy execution. Additionally, the brand consulting service helps businesses align their corporate identity and brand strategy with their sustainability efforts.

Bywill serves a diverse client base that includes corporations, local governments, and other organizations across Japan. Bywill has formed partnerships with over 100 entities, including financial institutions and local governments, to promote decarbonization initiatives nationwide. The firm has also been selected by the Tokyo metropolitan government to help implement offset projects.
