ASUENE Inc. announced that its supply chain management cloud service, ASUENE ESG (now ASUENE SUPPLY CHAIN), has received an Honorable Mention at the Design Intelligence Award 2025 (DIA 2025), a China-based international industrial design award.

Founded in 2015 by the China Academy of Art, the Design Intelligence Award recognizes innovative, practical, and socially impactful design solutions that contribute to the advancement of global industrial design.

Background of ASUENE ESG winning the Award  

In recent years, companies have been increasingly required to manage ESG risks and disclose information not only within their own operations but across their entire supply chains. In response to these demands, ESG evaluation cloud service ASUENE ESG, has achieved strong market adoption. ASUENE ESG surpassed 23,000 cumulative customer companies and was ranked No.1 in Japan for two consecutive years (according to the ESG Evaluation Service Cumulative Adoption Survey published by Tokyo Shoko Research, Ltd.)

ASUENE ESG received an Honorable Mention in the Product Group – Digital Economy category at the Design Intelligence Award 2025 (DIA 2025) in recognition of its user centered design and functionality, which enable complex ESG data to be collected and managed in a clear and intuitive manner. The service’s widespread adoption by companies in more than 60 countries was also a key factor in its international evaluation.

Following this milestone, ASUENE will further evolve the service and, starting in October 2025, rename it ASUENE SUPPLY CHAIN, expanding its capabilities as a comprehensive cloud platform to support broader supply chain management.
