The NYK Group's environmental management vision

In March 2005, we established the NYK environmental management vision to further strengthen our environmental management activities. To fulfill its objective of supporting a sustainable society, NYK is implementing three medium-term strategies specifically aimed at realizing “a green and beautiful earth” and passing on “a peaceful society to future generations.”

The NYK Group's Environmental Management Vision To contribute to the global environment and the creation of sustainable societies by managing environmental risks and arriving at an optimal balance between environment and economy. Three Strategies: 1) Reducing greenhouse gas emissions 2) Promoting social contribution through activities to conserve the global environment 3) Strengthening group environmental management

Under this vision, based on the NYK Group's environmental policy and the concise environmental management plan based on our policy, we operate various environmental activities at specific sites.
