Key Challenges We Address
Meeting Stringent Emissions Standards and Regulations
- Japanese firms face complex, frequently updated emissions rules, with compliance costs rising 14% year over year for manufacturers and logistics providers.
- By integrating tailored compliance strategies and digital tracking, YCP enables companies to adapt smoothly and minimize operational disruptions.
Securing Reliable Access to Sustainable Materials
- Sourcing environmentally responsible inputs remains challenging, as recycled material availability meets just 40% of demand in key industries.
- Through partner networks and rigorous supplier evaluation, YCP helps businesses build robust, green supply chains that meet their sustainability goals.
Optimizing Transparency and Traceability Systems
- Only 36% of Japanese supply chains achieve full traceability across tiers, hindering ESG reporting and risk management.
- Leveraging advanced digital solutions, YCP maps end-to-end processes, delivering the transparency and data granularity stakeholders expect.
Balancing Cost Efficiency with Decarbonization Goals
- As green investments often raise logistics costs by up to 12%, firms find it hard to maintain margins while advancing decarbonization.
- By identifying strategic leverage points, YCP designs actionable roadmaps that reduce both emissions and inefficiencies for lasting competitiveness.

Regional Sales Director
Goodyear
"During the course of the process, I found YCP highly capable to support Toyota to better understand “ASEAN countries”. We usually work with Japanese consulting company and from their report, we can be a “book smart” but can’t have a clear picture of what’s going on in the real market. The project with YCP brought us “real market experience”. YCP's local consultants got their hands dirty in the marketplace with me. This approach enabled me to understand critical consumer insights behind data. I found it very valuable experience. Thank you very much."
