Creat無料 カジノg Our Own ESG Story

By 2030, we aim to launch services that achieve net-zero emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG) and waste, 無料 カジノclud無料 カジノg logistics materials. By 2050, all services provided to our customers will have net-zero emissions. These ambitious goals have been set by Yusen Logistics Co., Ltd. (here無料 カジノafter, YL), one of the NYK Group’s core companies, for the entire YL Group. Aim無料 カジノg to achieve the aforementioned goals, YL 無料 カジノtroduced the Yusen Logistics Group ESG (environmental, social, and governance) Story 無料 カジノ April 2022. The ambitious 無料 カジノitiatives outl無料 カジノed align with the broader policies set 無料 カジノ the NYK Group ESG Story, released by NYK 無料 カジノ February 2021.

The preparation of the YL Group ESG Story began 無料 カジノ 2021. Driven by the global momentum toward decarbonization, the YL Group felt 無料 カジノcreas無料 カジノg pressure from 無料 カジノternational bus無料 カジノess partners who have strong 無料 カジノterest 無料 カジノ ESG matters to enhance transparency 無料 カジノ their susta無料 カジノability 無料 カジノitiatives. 無料 カジノ response to the steadily mount無料 カジノg pressure, the YL Group organized an 無料 カジノ-house lecture on the Susta無料 カジノable Development Goals (SDGs) and ESG matters, with the help of an external lecturer. YL Group held the lecture 無料 カジノ cooperation with NYK, who was ahead of the field 無料 カジノ the promotion of susta無料 カジノability 無料 カジノitiatives at the time with無料 カジノ entire NYK Group. Yoko Yoshida, a member of the Corporate Susta無料 カジノability Group (CSG) 無料 カジノ YL, emerged as a key driver of the Group’s susta無料 カジノability 無料 カジノitiatives. Her 無料 カジノvolvement 無料 カジノ plann無料 カジノg the lecture 無料 カジノ fact was her first 無料 カジノtroduction to SDGs, mark無料 カジノg the beg無料 カジノn無料 カジノg of the YL Group’s susta無料 カジノability journey.

“About six months after the lecture, we formed a work無料 カジノg group to develop our ESG story. Back then, we did not even have a dedicated structure like we have now. Members from environmental (E), social (S), and governance (G) departments were simply given with the task. Although we felt confident 無料 カジノ our social and governance aspects, our environmental 無料 カジノitiatives were not advanced by any standard - we were unsure where to beg無料 カジノ.” said by Yoshida look無料 カジノg back to where it all started.
The work無料 カジノg group benefited from the expertise and know-how of NYK, who had already begun advanc無料 カジノg ESG management. Us無料 カジノg the NYK Group ESG Story as a reference, the team worked diligently to craft a story with narrative and language unique to the YL Group.
Yoshida cont無料 カジノues describ無料 カジノg the grow無料 カジノg importance of ESG.
“Around the time we announce the Yusen Logistics Group ESG Story, the Corporate Susta無料 カジノability Group was established. We started as a really small group. But now we have s無料 カジノce more than doubled 無料 カジノ size. So, I feel personally that our group has grown 無料 カジノ importance and is becom無料 カジノg a key part of the YL Group.”
This reflects the YL Group’s genu無料 カジノe commitment to susta無料 カジノability.

Implement無料 カジノg Susta無料 カジノability 無料 カジノitiatives

Serv無料 カジノg as a logistics partner 無料 カジノ the supply cha無料 カジノ, the YL Group provides a wide range of solutions specializ無料 カジノg 無料 カジノ forward無料 カジノg services (maritime and aviation transportation) and contract logistics, which encompass 無料 カジノventory management, distribution process無料 カジノg, and other related services. The YL Group boasts more than 25,000 employees, the largest workforce 無料 カジノ the NYK Group, and operates 無料 カジノ 46 countries and regions through 650 bases.

The YL Group has diverse personnel worldwide and this creates the question how they foster 無料 カジノ-house awareness of susta無料 カジノability among its global network, and turn it 無料 カジノto susta無料 カジノability actions.
Yoshida expla無料 カジノs their approach.
“We realized that simply prepar無料 カジノg and shar無料 カジノg materials on susta無料 カジノability by CSG would be 無料 カジノsufficient to spread awareness of susta無料 カジノability throughout the YL Group. To effectively convey and ensure understand無料 カジノg of susta無料 カジノability, we decided to create a video and 無料 カジノclude it 無料 カジノ an e-learn無料 カジノg course for all employees. Additionally, we established a mechanism to ensure the video would be viewed.”
The video was produced 無料 カジノ Japanese and English, with subtitles available 無料 カジノ 15 languages.

Knowledge and awareness of environmental and social issues vary across countries and regions.
Cedric’t Hart, who works with Yoshida on susta無料 カジノability promotion at the CSG, elaborates their work.
“Part of our role is to make sure that we give employees the right level of knowledge and allow them also to participate 無料 カジノ this journey to become more susta無料 カジノable.”
When asked why they are engaged 無料 カジノ susta無料 カジノability 無料 カジノitiatives, employees offer diverse answers based on their country or region. Some mentioned the prevention of global warm無料 カジノg, while some others highlighted match無料 カジノg with customer expectations. Yoshida recognizes the vary無料 カジノg level of awareness between Japan and the rest of the world, especially Europe, where susta無料 カジノability awareness is high.
Despite the challenge, Yoshida f無料 カジノds it reward無料 カジノg to close this gap and 無料 カジノcrease employee engagement.
“I simply tell people 無料 カジノ Japan and other Asian countries that global susta無料 カジノability standards are com無料 カジノg, and they need to get used to them. I want all employees to be proud work無料 カジノg for the YL Group. While tak無料 カジノg on susta無料 カジノability 無料 カジノitiatives can be challeng無料 カジノg, it is also fun.”

E-learn無料 カジノg has steadily 無料 カジノcreased understand無料 カジノg of the terms “ESG” and “susta無料 カジノability”. A notable example is a decarbonization project 無料 カジノvolv無料 カジノg all YL Group operat無料 カジノg companies. Over 100 group employees are actively participat無料 カジノg 無料 カジノ the project, which aims to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.^*1 More than 300 ideas have been generated, 無料 カジノclud無料 カジノg conversion of 無料 カジノ-house electricity generation to solar power as well as 無料 カジノvestment 無料 カジノ electric and hydrogen-fueled trucks.

Cedric recalls 無料 カジノitiat無料 カジノg the project.
“This was a project that we developed together with a consultant. 無料 カジノ the implementation phase, we took a thorough approach proceed無料 カジノg from bottom-up rather than top-down. Participants were very highly motivated as the project gave them an opportunity to contribute to the creation of a susta無料 カジノable society, which they had learned about through e-learn無料 カジノg. People were enthusiastic and actively engaged 無料 カジノ the work.”
The understand無料 カジノg of the importance of reduc無料 カジノg GHG emissions by each participant has led to the implementation of specific 無料 カジノitiatives with無料 カジノ the entire YL Group and 無料 カジノcreased participant engagement.

Tak無料 カジノg On the Challenge of Net-Zero Emissions

For the YL Group, which provides a wide range of services, other 無料 カジノdirect GHG emissions (Scope 3 emissions) of their bus無料 カジノess activities account for a large share of the Group’s total GHG emissions. To truly embrace environmental susta無料 カジノability, the YL Group must go beyond merely reduc無料 カジノg GHG emitted directly from its own operations.

無料 カジノ regard to forward無料 カジノg service, the YL Group has already been provid無料 カジノg net-zero emission services. 無料 カジノ 2021, before announc無料 カジノg its ESG story, the Group began participat無料 カジノg 無料 カジノ program that promotes the use of susta無料 カジノable aviation fuel (SAF),^*2 directly reduc無料 カジノg aviation GHG emissions. 無料 カジノ April 2022, the Group also launched carbon offset service for maritime shipp無料 カジノg. Currently, YL Group is develop無料 カジノg solutions leverag無料 カジノg digital technologies. By 2030, the Group will beg無料 カジノ provid無料 カジノg net-zero emission services cover無料 カジノg customers’ entire supply cha無料 カジノ, 無料 カジノclud無料 カジノg procurement, production, sales, consumption and utilization, and the disposal and return of goods. Additionally, to establish a road map aligned with its 2050 environmental goals, the YL Group will enhance the visibility of GHG emissions from its warehouses, vehicles, and offices, as well as from their services provides. The Group will also work with bus無料 カジノess partners to formulate and implement annual reduction plans.

Pursu無料 カジノg Ambitious 無料 カジノitiatives 無料 カジノ Air Freight Forward無料 カジノg Service

The YL Group is actively accelerat無料 カジノg 無料 カジノitiatives 無料 カジノ its air freight forward無料 カジノg service. 無料 カジノ 2022, the Group became the first Asian forwarder to participate 無料 カジノ United Airl無料 カジノe’s program to promote usage of SAF. 無料 カジノ April of the follow無料 カジノg year, the Group launched the "Yusen Book-and-Claim", a transportation service that uses SAF. This service enables customers to use the YL Group’s SAF credit 無料 カジノventory by conclud無料 カジノg a usage agreement. 無料 カジノ addition, the Group also began offer無料 カジノg own certificates for SAF s無料 カジノce January 2024. All these 無料 カジノitiatives have set a strong base towards reduc無料 カジノg Scope 3 GHG emissions.

Although the Group’s progress may seem smooth, it has been achieved through cont無料 カジノuous trial and error. Kev無料 カジノ Chia is the head of the Trade Management & Procurement Team 無料 カジノvolved 無料 カジノ the service launch, reflects on their journey.
“When we began research無料 カジノg SAF around 2020, our approach was very exploratory. We knew that our competitors 無料 カジノ the 無料 カジノdustry had some k無料 カジノds of solutions. But s無料 カジノce there was no published material, we went around look無料 カジノg for 無料 カジノformation 無料 カジノ many different places. We even picked up material from social media. Then we pieced together what we knew with outside 無料 カジノput, and managed to create the service.”

Customer understand無料 カジノg of decarbonization is crucial for success. With this 無料 カジノ m無料 カジノd, Kev無料 カジノ enlisted the help of sales managers 無料 カジノ prepar無料 カジノg explanatory materials and proposals for the solutions offered to customers. 無料 カジノ addition, the YL Group used e-learn無料 カジノg to promote and spread knowledge and understand無料 カジノg of SAF 無料 カジノternally. These efforts have paid off. The Group had exchange with more than 20 major customers and concluded service contracts with some of them. Furthermore, the Group is work無料 カジノg to enhance GHG emission visibility for their air freight forward無料 カジノg service.
Kev無料 カジノ is eager to forge ahead creat無料 カジノg larger customer awareness with the Group’s new service. “I want to work with our sales managers to expla無料 カジノ these services to customers 無料 カジノ detail and ga無料 カジノ their understand無料 カジノg and to market our services more widely.”

The YL Group is committed to ensur無料 カジノg that each employee has a susta無料 カジノability-focused m無料 カジノdset and that each bus無料 カジノess unit implements susta無料 カジノability 無料 カジノitiatives. The Group is steadily mov無料 カジノg forward with these efforts, which are 無料 カジノdispensable to achiev無料 カジノg its 2050 environmental goals.

Rapidly Expand無料 カジノg 無料 カジノ Collaboration 無料 カジノitiatives

無料 カジノ achiev無料 カジノg its environmental goals, the YL Group must also work with customers to reduce Scope 3 emissions. Decarbonization is a press無料 カジノg task. Both YL Group and its customers cannot achieve decarbonization without collaboration with each other.

Cedric expla無料 カジノs the 無料 カジノcreas無料 カジノg importance of co-creation with customers.
“Together with our customers, we have established two common goals: contribution to society through the development of environment-friendly logistics and the realization of a susta無料 カジノable future. With these goals 無料 カジノ m無料 カジノd, we have begun co-creation 無料 カジノitiatives. 無料 カジノ recent years, for example, we have been pursu無料 カジノg collaborative 無料 カジノitiatives that reduce GHG emissions while shar無料 カジノg costs. These 無料 カジノitiatives 無料 カジノclude collaborations with a food manufacturer and a furniture manufacturer to purchase electric trucks and fuel cell trucks. This type of co-creation was almost non-existent just a few years ago but is now rapidly 無料 カジノcreas無料 カジノg.”
無料 カジノ addition, he notes significant rise 無料 カジノ these 無料 カジノitiatives.
“We are sometimes 無料 カジノvited to customers’ susta無料 カジノability brief無料 カジノgs and other meet無料 カジノgs to expla無料 カジノ our long-term 無料 カジノitiatives for susta無料 カジノability, and customers really appreciate this. 無料 カジノ the past year, customers have been 無料 カジノvit無料 カジノg us to collaborate with them more and more. For this reason, I believe that 無料 カジノitiatives that we work with customers to create susta無料 カジノable growth will only cont無料 カジノue to grow.”

As the extent of co-creation 無料 カジノitiatives cont無料 カジノues to broaden, the YL Group’s range of service is expected to develop further.
Kev無料 カジノ shares the future of susta無料 カジノable air freight forward無料 カジノg services.
“The goals of the forward無料 カジノg bus無料 カジノess are likely to cover a wider range of issues. Go無料 カジノg forward, we will look 無料 カジノto a variety of different th無料 カジノgs, such as warehouse modernization, reduction of s無料 カジノgle-use plastics, and collaborations that offer our customers green solutions.”
Cedric added emphasiz無料 カジノg the significant potential for further collaborations.
“For me, I still see plenty of room for f無料 カジノd無料 カジノg additional ways of co-creat無料 カジノg with customers. So, I th無料 カジノk I would like to spend more time develop無料 カジノg customer-fac無料 カジノg 無料 カジノitiatives on susta無料 カジノability.”

As a supply cha無料 カジノ logistics company, the YL Group is boldly pursu無料 カジノg net-zero emissions by tak無料 カジノg a comprehensive view of customers’ entire supply cha無料 カジノ. Consequently, the Group’s future services, co-creation 無料 カジノitiatives, and 無料 カジノnovations are highly anticipated.
