The collaboration will provide Japanese enterprises with comprehensive ESG-related reporting solutions, including tracking supply chain greenhouse gas emissions.
NORTHBROOK, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UL Solutions (NYSE: ULS), a global leader in applied safety science, is now collaborating with Fujitsu, a leading Japanese multinational company that provides IT services, solutions and technology, to assist Japanese companies in navigating and adhering to Japan's newly developed climate reporting standards.
This alliance combines UL Solutions’ ULTRUS software portfolio, a unified digital platform designed to streamline regulatory, supply chain and sustainability management, with Fujitsu’s deep local market expertise and established client network. Specifically, Fujitsu will leverage UL Solutions’ UL 360 environmental, social and governance (ESG) data management software, an offering in the ULTRUS platform, to help its customers meet the evolving sustainability disclosure standards. These new standards, developed by the Sustainability Standards Board of Japan (SSBJ), are aligned with the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation’s International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB).
“For long-term business success for companies in Japan, strong ESG reporting is no longer a side issue but a core need for companies,” said Hidehiko Yamajo, regional vice president, Japan, UL Solutions. “Our new partnership with Fujitsu is a strategic move to help companies navigate these complex ESG reporting demands and complement our existing ESG data management software. These tools simplify these challenges, allowing businesses to manage their data easily, meet new reporting requirements and ultimately create real business value.”
The SSBJ’s new standards, promoting companies to report sustainability and climate-related information, are now available for voluntary application and proposed for mandatory application in 2027, mirroring the global trend towards increased ESG reporting accountability. These standards build upon previous initiatives, including requirements by the Tokyo Stock Exchange and Japan’s Financial Services Agency, a government agency and an integrated financial regulator responsible for overseeing the banking, securities and exchange, and insurance sectors to ensure the stability of Japan's financial system, which have progressively strengthened sustainability disclosure expectations for Japanese listed companies.
“Fujitsu is thrilled to join with UL Solutions for ESG and sustainability reporting in Japan,” said Hidenori Ito, senior vice president, head of Cross-Industry Solutions Business Unit of Fujitsu. “Fujitsu is consolidating all internal and external data, strengthening disclosure and regulatory compliance, and promoting rapid management decision-making through financial and non-financial analysis to realize ESG management. As part of FujitsuUvance, a business model based on social issues, we will integrate Fujitsu's technologies, such as AI and blockchain technology, based on our knowledge and know-how cultivated through collaboration with UL Solutions and our own practices. We will support the realization of data-driven sustainability management and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society by maximizing corporate value.”
In addition to its software solutions, UL Solutions offers a comprehensive suite of enterprise sustainability services, including environmental product declarations and zero-waste-to-landfill claim validations. The ULTRUS software platform, which includes Sustainable Supply Chain & environmental, health, and safety (EHS) services, was recognized as a leader by Verdantix in their Green Quadrant: ESG and Sustainability Reporting Software 2023 and 2025 reports and Green Quadrant: EHS Software 2025 report, as a unified platform, highlighting its effectiveness in helping companies navigate complex ESG reporting regulations and global compliance challenges.
