FPT IS collaborates with a leading green transformation company in Japan
Recently, FPT IS and Zeroboard formally signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to pool their technological strengths and co-create to address the challenge of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Vietnam and Japan, aiming for the green transition goal and moving closer to the NetZero commitment by 2050.
Ms. Bui Nguyen Phuong Chau – representative of FPT IS and Mr. Shintaro Suzuki – representative of Zeroboard signed the Memorandum of Understanding.
With over 120 countries aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region where CO2 emissions have increased to 15.2 billion tons, greenhouse gas accounting and inventory are becoming an important part of businesses strategies for sustainable development. However, there are still many challenges to tackle before GHG accounting and inventory can be implemented, particularly in scope 3 of the supply chain, including time-consuming data collection, a lack of knowledge about complicated standards and regulations, and the unavailability of environmental data in businesses.
The cooperation between FPT IS and Zeroboard aims to help solve these challenges by providing businesses with more effective reporting and reduction solutions for greenhouse gas emissions that meet global standard frameworks, including ISO 14064-1, GHG Protocol, and other standards.
By combining the technologies and services of the two businesses, inventory accuracy, reporting quality, and carbon emission reduction plans optimized for customers will all be improved. Particularly, FPT IS offers the VertZéro solution to help businesses accurately inventory and report emissions and provide strategic recommendations to optimize emissions reduction plans.
Additionally, Zeroboard provides products that can visualize data and analyze the supply chain to offer specific mitigation measures. Thanks to the integration of FPT IS’s VertZéro and Zeroboard’s Zeroboard system, businesses will be able to easily and quickly access emissions data from their supply chain, which will facilitate seamless data exchange and lessen the challenges both parties face in gathering supply chain emissions data during the reporting process. The two parties will also exchange technical know-how and data to improve service performance and foster innovation in greenhouse gas inventory.
Mr. Shintaro Suzuki – Zeroboard’s representative spoke at the signing ceremony.
According to Mr. Shintaro Suzuki, Managing Director of Zeroboard Asia Pacific (APAC): “Vietnam will see a rise in the disclosure of CO2 emissions by companies when relevant regulations are issued. Large Vietnamese companies operating in the global supply chain will also have to collect greenhouse gas emission data from all stakeholders in the future. The key to this is making it easier for businesses in the supply chain to exchange data effectively. Through the partnership with FPT IS, a leading technology company in the Vietnamese market, Zeroboard’s services can facilitate more efficient and convenient GHG data sharing between user companies. Above all, the financial market will place a high value on businesses that successfully manage decarbonization across the supply chain, increasing their overall corporate value. This partnership with FPT IS will be an important step for the Vietnamese market to advance the vision of reducing greenhouse gases throughout the supply chain.”
Ms. Bui Nguyen Phuong Chau shared about the intention of FPT IS to implement green transformation in Vietnam.
“FPT IS is proud to rank among the leading technology companies in Vietnam offering ESG solutions. The cooperation with Zeroboard, a significant Japanese partner in inventory and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, exemplifies FPT IS’s efforts and resolute commitment to continuously improve quality and accompany Vietnamese enterprises in achieving the NetZero goal as well as realize the long-term sustainability strategy. We believe that the partnership, experience exchange, data sharing, and implementation strategies between FPT IS and Zeroboard will enhance the quality of VertZéro solutions and Zeroboard software, benefiting companies looking to undergo a green transformation in Vietnam and Japan, and act as a driving force for sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Ms. Bui Nguyen Phuong Chau, FPT IS Chief Operations Officer.
FPT IS is a member company of FPT Corporation, a leader in providing information technology and digital transformation solutions in Vietnam. With 30 years of experience, FPT IS has supported many domestic and foreign enterprises in implementing technology solutions towards sustainable management and development. Among these are the VertZéro carbon accounting solution, which helps businesses in setting limits, measuring emissions based on scope 1,2,3, disaggregating multidimensional emissions, and accessing global emission factors. Businesses can then use it to set emission reduction targets (by time, scope, or government regulations, etc.) and monitor actual emissions. Once information is transparent, the solution helps businesses create greenhouse gas inventory reports in compliance with international regulations (GHG Protocol, IPCC, EPA, ISO 14064-1:2018), European (CBAM), and Vietnamese government regulations (Decree 06/2022/ND-CP, ISO 14064-1:2011). VertZéro is being deployed at FPT Software and Tran Duc Group, aiming to help the companies proactively inventory greenhouse gases in three scopes (Scope 1, 2, and 3), connect and synchronize data from many countries, and build standard emission coefficients that are customized for each region.
Zeroboard is a leading Japanese company that offers technology solutions to help businesses manage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. With a vision towards sustainable development, Zeroboard has developed the software that goes by the same name to help businesses calculate, track, and visualize emissions throughout the entire supply chain. Zeroboard software stands out for its ability to deliver accurate data and support businesses in planning and implementing effective emission reduction strategies. Moreover, Zeroboard assists businesses in adhering to international environmental standards, meeting the ever-tougher ESG and NetZero requirements.
We expect the technology and knowledge integration between FPT IS and Zeroboard to open up new avenues for businesses to manage emissions, laying the solid foundation for a future where environmental and economic development coexist and progress toward the shared goal of a carbon-neutral world.
