New Platform Simplifies Corporate ESG Reporting and Action

A new integrated platform has been launched to help businesses navigate the complexities of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) compliance and carbon reduction. Named KINTO Zero, the solution combines consultancy, data management, and sustainable mobility services into a single hub. Developed by KINTO Join Ltd., a company operating under the Toyota Financial Services banner, the platform targets organisations seeking to streamline their sustainability reporting and decarbonisation efforts.

The launch responds to growing pressure from evolving regulations, corporate sustainability demands, and stakeholder expectations. KINTO Zero is designed to support enterprises with ESG reporting, carbon accounting, and the creation of actionable pathways to reduce emissions, while aligning with recognised international standards.

A Unified Approach to Sustainability Management

KINTO Zero brings together several critical sustainability functions that companies often manage separately. At its core is an ESG reporting system integrated with carbon accounting tools. This enables users to collect relevant data, track progress against reduction targets, and automatically generate compliance reports for key frameworks such as the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

Beyond software capabilities, the platform also offers access to specialist ESG consultancy services. These include support for conducting double materiality assessments — a process that identifies which sustainability issues are most significant for a company’s business and its stakeholders — carrying out gap analyses, and developing tailored action plans. This blend of technology and expert guidance aims to address the knowledge gaps many organisations face.

Connecting Strategy to Sustainable Action

A defining feature of KINTO Zero is its direct integration with sustainable mobility solutions. The platform links with the existing KINTO Join service, which provides access to low-emission transport options. This integration is strategic, allowing companies not only to plan and report on sustainability goals but also to implement tangible changes in high-impact areas such as corporate mobility.

By linking measurement, strategy, and practical action, the platform seeks to move businesses beyond basic compliance. The aim is to encourage meaningful operational changes that reduce an organisation’s overall carbon footprint, turning sustainability metrics into real environmental outcomes.

Capitalising on a Rapidly Growing Market

The launch of KINTO Zero positions the company within the expanding market for ESG reporting software. Industry estimates point to strong growth potential, making this a timely strategic move. Sector analysis suggests that the market is currently valued at approximately US$1.29 billion and is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.

Company leadership notes that the platform reinforces their role as a service provider in the corporate sustainability space. They emphasise that as regulatory and societal pressures intensify, adopting structured and actionable sustainability practices has become a business necessity. KINTO Zero is presented as a tool designed to help organisations take these steps efficiently.

The Road Ahead for Corporate ESG

The launch of KINTO Zero reflects a broader trend towards the digitalisation and integration of sustainability management. For businesses, the appeal lies in managing ESG complexity through a single, unified system rather than relying on multiple disconnected tools and advisers.

As global standards converge and regulatory requirements tighten, such integrated platforms are likely to become increasingly central to corporate strategy. They offer a potential pathway for organisations to shift sustainability from a reporting obligation to a core, actively managed component of their operations, supported by clear and measurable data.
