ABeam Consulting and Seneca ESG begin collaboration

ABeam employs digital technology to support corporate ESG initiatives in Southeast Asia through collaboration with Seneca ESG as solution partner

As a part of the company-wide strategy, ABeam Consulting is actively working towards solving social issues by becoming an accelerator of social transformation promoting new value creation together with our clients as well as collaborating with communities, companies, and institutions to promote sustainable activities.

As the company is gearing towards a sustainable world in 2023, ABeam Consulting is focusing on all three pillars of ESG, i.e., environment, social and corporate governance. For the environment, ABeam Consulting is striving to reduce the environmental burden of its corporate activities and achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 in terms of greenhouse gases emitted by energy sources used by all of our offices in Japan and abroad. In addition, our employees are united in their efforts to preserve the environment through volunteer activities and Initiatives for circular economy, thereby contributing to the realization of environmental sustainability.

In terms of social contribution, ABeam Consulting is promoting efforts to solve various social issues through pro bono activities for NPOs and NGOs using its consulting skills and initiatives to solve regional issues. We will continue to contribute toward creating the future of Japan and the rest of the world, beginning with Asia.

ABeam Consulting conducts corporate management by building robust business foundations to continue meeting the expectations of society in a way that is sound, legally compliant, and fair. We are making efforts to develop structures of compliance management, strengthen information security, and strive to enhance the social nature and transparency of our corporate management.

ABeam Consulting is recognized for providing a wide range of support from strategic planning to execution for more than 200 clients in a variety of industries and sectors. By leveraging the latest digital technologies in addition to the unique expertise we have cultivated through our track record, we are able to provide a wide range of services, from strategy planning to implementation. 

“We provide consulting services that support continuous improvement of corporate value, such as ESG strategy planning, project management for implementation of measures, and proposal of measures through data analysis after the platform is built,” says Toshihide Otani Director,
Head of Financial Management and Control of ABeam Consulting. “The promotion of ESG measures requires the collection and coordination of information from various departments within a company, and ABeam Consulting’s expertise in cross-company business processes, which we have cultivated over the years, is a major driving force for the success of such measures.”

To deliver well-planned and expertly executed ESG solutions to the clients, ABeam Consulting recently teams up with Seneca ESG, provider of corporate sustainability assessment, reporting, and integration solutions with financial services, to support the promotion of corporate ESG measures in Southeast Asia.

“Through this collaboration, Seneca ESG's strength in software applications for collecting and centralizing information on multiple ESG disclosure requirements and ABeam Consulting's strength in providing support for corporate transformation through the formulation of roadmaps and implementation of measures to enhance corporate value will be combined to provide total support,” says Toshihide Otani. 

Seneca ESG helps companies establish ESG platforms with EPIC, a software application for corporations, and ZENO, a software application for investment managers. EPIC will enable the companies enhance their ESG reputation in the marketplace by helping them to produce reports that meet ESG disclosure standards, such as SASB, GRI, TCFD, and country-specific regulatory requirements. ZENO also helps investment managers advance their investment assessment with maximum control and flexibility in designing ESG assessments for their portfolios.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with ABeam Consulting,” says Jonathan Ha, CEO of Seneca ESG. “Our firms’ principles and values are strongly aligned and focused on environmental, social, and governance issues. This new partnership will allow us to extend our enterprise software solutions to key markets in Asia-Pacific and beyond. We value the trust that ABeam Consulting has placed in Seneca ESG and are honored to be recognized as the market leading solution in simplifying and automating ESG data management, analytics, continuous improvement, and regulatory-compliant reporting, across SMEs, large enterprises, financial institutions, stock exchanges, and government bodies.
