Business Engineering Corporation (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Masakazu Haneda, hereinafter referred to as "B-EN-G") is pleased to announce that it has obtained limited assurance from Socotec Certification Japan Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Sokotec") regarding the validity of "mcframe 7 CFP Ver.7.0.3", a calculation system for calculating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per product in CO2 equivalent (Carbon Footprint: CFP).

In recent years, efforts toward decarbonization have been accelerating in the Japanese manufacturing industry. As part of this, the need for CFP calculation and disclosure is increasing, while ensuring the reliability of the calculation results is an important issue. In light of this situation, B-EN-G requested Socotec to verify the validity of mcframe 7 CFP Ver.7.0.3, based on the criteria of "Pathfinder Framework (WBCSD)" and "CFP Guidelines (Ministry of the Environment)".
Socotec conducted an examination based on "JIS Q 14064-3:2023 (ISO 14064-3:2019)" and determined that the mcframe 7 CFP Ver.7.0.3 calculation system complies with the relevant criteria, confirming its validity.

Pathfinder Framework (WBCSD): https://www.wbcsd.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/PACT-Pathfinder-Framework-WBCSD.pdf

*This validation check is intended to confirm the validity of the calculation system, and does not guarantee individual calculation results (assuming accurate information is entered into the system).

B-EN-G will continue to support decarbonization efforts in the manufacturing industry through the provision of its systems and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.

■What is "mcframe 7 CFP"?
This solution adds a function to calculate carbon footprints on a product-by-product basis to our in-house developed production, sales, and cost management package for the manufacturing industry, "mcframe 7." By introducing mcframe 7 CFP, you can expect the following benefits:

• You can check emissions by product, component, process, etc., which allows you to identify hot spots and consider focused efforts to reduce emissions.

• Since calculations can be made using the production results of the production management system and external environmental data as basic data, figures that reflect the actual situation can be calculated, taking into account factors such as yield.

• Since calculations can be done over short cycles of one to several months, it is possible to grasp trends over time, such as seasonal fluctuations and reductions due to reduction efforts.

In addition, to further support the reduction of CO2 emissions, in the future, we will be able to use this product interchangeably with other mcframe family products to comprehensively resolve our customers' environmental impact issues, not only at the production stage, but also throughout the product planning phase and the business evaluation and analysis phase.
