Persephone, a leading carbon accounting company, has added Scope 3 accounting functionality to its free climate management and carbon accounting platform, Persephone Pro. This innovative feature will enable companies around the world, including Japan, to easily calculate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout their supply chains, free of charge and without specialized knowledge. Scope 3 is the largest source of emissions for many companies, making accurate data collection and disclosure increasingly important. The addition of Scope 3 accounting functionality provides significant benefits for both large companies acquiring emissions data from their business partners and small and medium-sized enterprises looking to take on the challenge of accounting for emissions. For the flow of Scope 3 calculation function of Persephone Pro which has been added as a function, please refer to This video We are introducing it here. Please take a look. Corporate benefits of Scope 3 accounting function • Benefits for large companies Scope 3 data collection has been particularly problematic, especially when acquiring data from business partners, but large companies are now able to collect supply chain emissions accurately and in a short period of time by introducing Persephone Pro to their business partners. You will be able to do it. Having accurate emissions data across the entire supply chain will improve the quality of your company’s climate change-related disclosures and reduce the risk of making poor business decisions. • Benefits for small and medium-sized businesses By being able to calculate their own Scope 3, small and medium-sized enterprises can become more competitive. Even companies that have previously had difficulty calculating their GHG emissions due to cost and resource constraints will now be able to easily calculate their own emissions data and report it to business partners and stakeholders by using Persephone Pro. This is expected to increase our reputation as a sustainable business partner and expand our business opportunities with large companies. Especially for small and medium-sized
enterprises that do a lot of business with companies that are proactive about ESG, this will help them maintain and improve their competitiveness over the medium to long term. Social impact of Persephone Pro The introduction of Scope 3 accounting functionality will have a major impact on society as a whole. In general, Scope 3 accounts for a large portion of a company’s total emissions, and it is important that many companies around the world, including small and medium-sized enterprises, proceed with Scope 3 accounting. This will help support and promote consideration of climate change
countermeasures. Against this background, new disclosure regulations for GHG emissions, including Scope 3, have recently begun to be implemented around the world, including in Europe, America, and the APAC region. In order to provide a foundation for providing technical support for these global issues, Persephone has decided to add Scope 3 calculation functionality to the free version. In order to implement climate change countermeasures that are optimal for humanity, we at Persephone would like to contribute to society by enhancing the functions of the free version. Actual implementation example • Case of temporary staffing industry In September 2024, a mid-sized overseas staffing company was suddenly asked by a major client company to disclose emissions data to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The supplier’s request was to provide Scope 1, Scope 2, and some Scope 3 calculation results within two weeks. Although the company had no experience or knowledge of calculating GHG emissions, they discovered Persephone Pro and decided to use it because it was free and easy to use. The company was able to calculate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions in just one week after registering as a user. This quick response enabled us to maintain relationships with our business partners and
successfully respond to requests from CDP, ensuring the sustainability of our business. In particular, the company values Persephone Pro’s Scope 3 calculation tool as an important business partner, as it would have been difficult to meet customer demands without it. • Sports industry case The Pittsburgh Penguins, a professional ice hockey team in the United States, is not only focused on improving competitive performance, but also on sustainability initiatives. In 2023, we will launch a new environmental project called the Penguin’s Pledge, and as part of this we will aim to measure and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the Penguins initially lacked the expertise to calculate GHG emissions and did not even know where to start. Therefore, we introduced the free version of the carbon accounting platform “Persephone Pro” and succeeded in calculating Scope 1 and 2 emissions in a short period of time. We have built a foundation to aim for zero emissions. Aiming to establish our position as a
sustainability leader in the sports industry, we will also take on the challenge of calculating Scope 3 emissions. This page You can watch a detailed video at.

It is a powerful tool to strengthen efforts to reduce climate change and respond to future climate-related risks.As society as a whole strives to become carbon neutral, the spread of free tools like this is important not only for companies but also for the world to deal with climate change. It will have a big impact on our efforts.” In the future, we plan to add a one-click regulatory reporting function and advanced calculation functions using AI, making it an even easier-to-use tool.
