The NYK Group's CSR Concept

The NYK Group has a global network that builds on its core marine transportation services to provide a comprehensive package of ocean, land, and air services. At the NYK Group, CSR means that while we seek to earn profits as a company, we also take initiatives to address social issues like the environment and human rights and contribute to the achievement of sustainable societies. We have articulated three CSR pillars: “sound and highly transparent management,” “safe, environment-friendly operations,” and “workplaces that instill pride.”

CSR activity program

As specific CSR activities, 31 units in the headquarters, including the CSR Coordination Group, formulate a CSR activity program and use a PDCA cycle to monitor and manage progress.

Business credo and code of conduct

The business credo and code of conduct contain guidelines for day-to-day activities that all officers and employees of NYK Line are expected to adhere to in their duties. We designate one month of each year as “comprehensive compliance checkup month,” and at this time we conduct a survey to evaluate the degree to which compliance awareness has penetrated the organization.

NYK Group Values

In January 2007, we formulated the NYK Group Values as an articulation of the attitudes required by individuals and organizations as they act on our corporate philosophy. Each and every NYK Group employee practices the NYK Group Values in their daily duties; the values are the glue that holds the company together and enables it to pass on its strengths from generation to generation.
