TOKYO: NYK has joined the Getting to Zero Coalition, a partnership
among the Global Maritime Forum, the Friends of Ocean action, and the
World Economic Forum that builds on the Call to Action in Support of
Decarbonization launched and signed by more than 70 leaders from across
the maritime industry and financial institutions.
The Coalition is committed to getting commercially viable deep-sea
zero-emission vessels powered by zero-emission fuels into operation by
2030 to realize the IMO’s ambition to reduce GHG emissions, thus
accelerating maritime shipping's decarbonization.
In its medium-term management plan “Staying Ahead 2022 with
Digitalization and Green” released in 2018, NYK announced the group’s
intent to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG)
initiatives into management strategy to positively address the tough
issues that challenge our society. In fact, NYK has positioned climate
change as one of the company’s most important issues, and is working to
implement next-generation fuels such as LNG fuels to aid marine-fuel
decarbonization.
NYK aims to contribute to environmental preservation for maintaining a sustainable society.
