NYK regularly receives an assurance statement from a third-party certifier confirming that NYK is reporting and disclosing accurate numerical values for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by NYK Group companies. This data is then used in calculations to confirm that NYK is meeting the framework of Scope 1, 2, and 3 of the GHG Protocol^*1, a benchmark that NYK has achieved since 2012. NYK's certification was the first time in the maritime industry that data collection, calculation, and reporting had been confirmed by a third-party to be in line with Scope 3.

Scope1, 2 & 3 for NYK Group

Grasping the environmental burdens of energy consumption is a first step to reducing the burdens. We collect data on environmental burdens such as electricity usage, fuel consumption, industrial waste, and so on from domestic and overseas consolidated subsidiaries companies in an effort to comprehensively grasp the load situation throughout all our group companies and promote further reductions at the individual company level.
In fiscal 2017, we began using the Eco Track environmental load data collection/compilation system to obtain more efficient and accurate data.
