SCSK Corporation and ByWill Co., Ltd. have entered into a capital and business alliance with the aim of promoting decarbonization and accelerating GX (Green Transformation). As part of this alliance, SCSK has underwritten ByWill’s third-party allocation of new shares.
Toward the realization of a carbon-free society, companies are moving from individual company-level efforts to spreading their efforts to supply chains and regions. In order to accelerate GX, it is essential to have a mechanism that supports collaboration with stakeholders, including business partners, local governments, and regional financial institutions.
SCSK provides services to support GX based on the digital and IT technologies it has cultivated over many years, and in July began offering “CO×CO Karte (Coco Karte),” a CO2 emissions calculation service for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Meanwhile, Buywill aims to achieve carbon neutrality in all 47 prefectures in Japan, and provides solutions that turn contributions to decarbonization into revenue opportunities, centered on carbon credits. To date, the company has worked with more than 120 local governments and regional financial institutions across the country to promote GX in conjunction with the local economy. In addition, by widely communicating its decarbonization activities through branding, Buywill has also contributed to increasing the value of companies and regions.
Through this partnership, we aim to combine SCSK’s GX solutions, which utilize digital and IT technologies, with BuyWill’s comprehensive know-how on environmental value and decarbonization management, to build a system that transforms the “burden” that companies face in responding to decarbonization into an “opportunity for growth.”
In the future, we will utilize the network and know-how of BuyWill to develop the “CO x CO Karte” and promote the creation and distribution of environmental value such as the international attribute certificate “I-REC” through “EneTrack” operated by SCSK. Through these efforts, we will provide multifaceted support, from visualization of CO2 emissions necessary for promoting decarbonization, to reduction of CO2 emissions and flexible use of environmental value.
Furthermore, through this partnership, the two companies aim to build a “circular GX ecosystem across the entire region and supply chain” that will promote decarbonization and sustainable growth in society, and will promote the “Environmental Supply Chain Platform (Environmental SPF)” concept, which will serve as the foundation for data collaboration and co-creation that will support this system.
