WasteBox Inc., founded in 2006 by Shuichiro Suzuki, is an environmental solutions provider headquartered in Nagoya, Japan, that specializes in carbon measurement and management. Suzuki established the company after gaining experience in environmental due diligence at Recycle One, Inc. (now RENOVA, Inc.). WasteBox was created with the initial concept of transforming discarded waste into resources, symbolized by its name and logo which represent the cycle of renewal. The company has since shifted its focus to addressing climate change through carbon accounting.
The firm offers a comprehensive suite of services to support corporate decarbonization. This includes calculating and visualizing CO2 emissions across the entire supply chain (Scope 1, 2, and 3), lifecycle assessments (LCA), and product carbon footprints (CFP). WasteBox assists clients in setting science-based reduction targets (SBT), creating climate transition plans, and supporting information disclosure in line with international frameworks like CDP, TCFD, and ISSB. The company also provides services for creating environmental value through carbon credits, supporting carbon neutrality certifications (PAS 2060), and advising on supplier engagement and renewable energy adoption.
Operating on a B2B model, WasteBox serves over 250 clients, including major corporations listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market. Its business strategy focuses on providing total, ongoing support for the complete carbon management cycle, from measurement to reduction and reporting. The firm has achieved significant recognition, becoming Japan's sole accredited CDP Climate Change Consultancy and SBT Support Partner as of October 2023. It has also received numerous awards, including the Mizuho Innovation Award in 2023 and the EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2022 Japan, Tokai-Hokuriku Region, Special Jury Prize.
