Product
TERRAST for Enterprise（T4E）
Background of Implementation
The TSE-listed manufacturing company was looing for a solution that helps them to streamline the upcoming process of ISSB(SSBJ in Japan) regulation. They have more than hundreds of subsidiaries and multiple factories, and it was a quite chaotic process to collect and consolidate their ESG data across the entities.
Challenges
・Each department at the headquarters (such as the sustainability team, general affairs, and human resources) collects E/S/G data separately from consolidated subsidiaries, leading to issues with the complexity and workload of the data collection process.
・There is no established system (with an affordable budget) for collecting data from overseas subsidiaries yet.
・Some subsidiaries have no resources or knowledge to dedicate time to ESG data collection tasks.
・Holding preliminary briefings and providing aftercare follow-ups for group companies require significant effort.
・Difficulties in collecting social-related data on a consolidated basis due to varying standards in each country.
・Needs to handle the calculation and disclosure of the human capital disclosure items (e.g. female executive ratio, paternity leave acquisition rate, and gender pay gap)."
Solutions
・Reducing the Parent Company's Aggregation Burden
By utilizing T4E, accounts are provided for each subsidiary. This enables the aggregation of E, S, and G data for each subsidiary, and the data is consolidated and aggregated on the "TERRAST for Management" tool managed by the parent company, reducing the parent company's aggregation burden.
・Data Collection from Overseas Subsidiaries
With T4E, which is accessible from anywhere in the world and supports Japanese and English (and other languages coming soon), it has become possible to collect data from overseas subsidiaries.
・Reducing the Burden on Personnel in Charge
Instead of the parent company's personnel, Sustainable Lab's customer support provides assistance for ESG data entry to subsidiary staff. Additionally, after prior consultation with the parent company's personnel, Sustainable Lab conducts usage briefings that include an overview of operations and the significance of data entry and submission.
・Smoother Consolidated Disclosure
T4E has a "note information field" for social-related indicators such as the ratio of female executives, allowing for the retention of supplementary information during consolidated disclosure.
