Message from the President

Thank you very much for your interest in the NYK Group.

Our mission statement clearly affirms our purpose: “Through safe and dependable monohakobi (the transportation of goods), we contribute to the betterment of societies throughout the world as a comprehensive global-logistics enterprise offering ocean, land, and air transportation.” And we conduct our daily business with this mission in mind. We are proud to play a part in delivering quality of life to many individuals around the world, and at the same time, we are aware of our responsibility in providing infrastructure for global trade.

In April 2011, to respond to rapid changes in the business environment, we launched our three-year medium-term management plan — “More Than Shipping 2013 — Grow with Asia, Expand across the Globe” . The NYK Group plans to capture the growth in Asia by combining traditional shipping with value-added strategies.

To ensure the achievement of this new management plan, the NYK Group will work together to develop the “human ability” of each employee based on the NYK Group Values of integrity, innovation, and intensity so that we can remain a trusted presence for our customers and society.

April 2011
Yasumi Kudo
President
