Sustainability ERP for ESG data collection, CO2 tracking, and regulatory compliance
Booost builds a sustainability ERP platform handling ESG data collection, CO2 emissions tracking, and regulatory disclosure (CSRD, ISSB) for enterprise operations. The tech stack—PHP, Python, Laravel, React on AWS with GitHub Actions/CodePipeline—reflects a full-stack web application approach. Hiring mix skews engineering-heavy (3 engineers vs. 2 sales) with a newly added Backend Tech Lead, signaling infrastructure and test automation work; pain points cluster around scaling both the dev org and the presales function, suggesting the product is outpacing internal capacity to deliver and support it.
Notable leadership hires: Backend Tech Lead
Booost operates a sustainability ERP platform that consolidates non-financial reporting (emissions, ESG metrics) into a single interface, enabling multiple departments to execute reduction and improvement activities on one system. The product is built to meet evolving regulatory requirements including CSRD and IFRS ISSB standards. Founded in 2015 and based in Tokyo, the company serves mid-market enterprises in Japan navigating mandatory sustainability disclosures. Active projects span backend test automation, ESG data modeling, customer expansion features, and DevOps infrastructure—indicating both product maturation and capacity challenges as regulatory pressure drives demand.
PHP, Python, Laravel, React, TypeScript, and MySQL for the core platform. AWS services (CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CDK) handle CI/CD and infrastructure. GitHub Actions, Docker, Ansible, and OpenTofu support DevOps. Development tools include GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and CodeRabbit.
Core projects include backend test automation, ESG data product development, customer expansion features, DevOps infrastructure improvements, and sustainability disclosure support. The company is also building automated delivery environments and monitoring/observability systems.
