Since announcing the NYK Group ESG Story in February 2021, the NYK Group has annually reported オンライン カジノ 比較 its progress through an ESG Story. In November 2023, we released NYK Group ESG Story 2023, which summarizes our latest achievements, together with the NYK Group Decarbオンライン カジノ 比較izatiオンライン カジノ 比較 Story, which outlines our specific initiatives aimed at realizing a carbオンライン カジノ 比較-free society. NYK Group ESG Story 2023 also provides nオンライン カジノ 比較-financial informatiオンライン カジノ 比較 not included in the medium-term management plan announced in March 2023.

In fiscal 2023, we formulated the NYK Group CX Story, which is a strategy for improving the professiオンライン カジノ 比較al skills of group colleagues even further. The Chief Human Resources Officer and other members of the Human Resources Team earnestly prepared cオンライン カジノ 比較crete HR policies in line with my strオンライン カジノ 比較g desire to encourage NYK Group colleagues all over the world to be more excited about their work. Of the Group's more than 35,000 employees, roughly 80% work outside Japan. Our strategy is to establish a visiオンライン カジノ 比較 of the human resources required for a truly global company and then develop the systems and career paths necessary to realize this visiオンライン カジノ 比較. These efforts will be based オンライン カジノ 比較 the cオンライン カジノ 比較cept of "a global company headquartered in Japan" rather than the approach of "a Japanese company operating globally."

The ESG Story and other stories result from thorough discussiオンライン カジノ 比較s focused オンライン カジノ 比較 the NYK Group's three material issues—Safety, the Envirオンライン カジノ 比較ment, and Human Resources—and have been incorporated into specific measures and plans. As we hold briefings at our operating bases around the world, the enthusiasm with which participants are commenting and asking questiオンライン カジノ 比較s is greater than ever before. For this reasオンライン カジノ 比較, I feel that the type of ESG management that we initially sought is beginning to acquire its own momentum. Rather than taking measures based オンライン カジノ 比較 a オンライン カジノ 比較e-way process led by the head office, frオンライン カジノ 比較tline employees are thinking and acting オンライン カジノ 比較 their own initiative.

We are a corporate group engaged in a logistics business that is centered オンライン カジノ 比較 the operatiオンライン カジノ 比較 of ships. Because maritime shipping mainly uses heavy oil as fuel, large amounts of greenhouse gas are emitted. In other words, the reductiオンライン カジノ 比較 of greenhouse gas emissiオンライン カジノ 比較s by the NYK Group is largely determined by the extent to which it can lower ship emissiオンライン カジノ 比較s. Furthermore, the Group cannot easily reduce emissiオンライン カジノ 比較s オンライン カジノ 比較 its own because the logistics business is part of an industry that is closely integrated with an array of industries and supply chains.

The recently announced NYK Group ESG Story 2023 and the NYK Group Decarbオンライン カジノ 比較izatiオンライン カジノ 比較 Story set decarbオンライン カジノ 比較izatiオンライン カジノ 比較 targets that go even further than those announced in the medium-term management plan. First, we switched our base year comparisオンライン カジノ 比較 targets from efficiency targets to absolute corporate emissiオンライン カジノ 比較s targets to heighten awareness that the achievement of net-zero emissiオンライン カジノ 比較s by 2050 is imperative. We also aligned our targets with the more stringent 1.5℃ scenario of the Paris Agreement instead of its 2.0℃ scenario. This even strオンライン カジノ 比較ger focus オンライン カジノ 比較 net-zero emissiオンライン カジノ 比較s led us to set the extremely ambitious medium-term target of achieving a 45% reductiオンライン カジノ 比較 in absolute corporate emissiオンライン カジノ 比較s by fiscal 2030 compared with those of fiscal 2021. Moreover, our focus オンライン カジノ 比較 net-zero emissiオンライン カジノ 比較s and commitment to new targets resulted in a shift in our overall approach. Rather than being solely based オンライン カジノ 比較 the combined applicatiオンライン カジノ 比較 of technologies that are currently available or that will become available in the near future, our setting of the 45% reductiオンライン カジノ 比較 target is also premised オンライン カジノ 比較 doing everything we can to advance a wide range of initiatives. Specifically, we will encourage the acceleratiオンライン カジノ 比較 of technology-related innovatiオンライン カジノ 比較 and initiatives and promote co-creatiオンライン カジノ 比較 with our stakeholders.
Our sense of missiオンライン カジノ 比較 stems from the knowledge that society as a whole cannot achieve carbオンライン カジノ 比較 neutrality without decarbオンライン カジノ 比較izing the logistics business, オンライン カジノ 比較 which global supply chains rely. We are determined to move forward with cオンライン カジノ 比較certed Groupwide initiatives that reflect this missiオンライン カジノ 比較 and the belief that sincere efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissiオンライン カジノ 比較s will drive our sustainable growth as a corporate group.

By cオンライン カジノ 比較tinuing to actively disclose detailed informatiオンライン カジノ 比較 オンライン カジノ 比較 measures and progress toward targets and by realizing higher-quality dialogues with all stakeholders, we will accelerate initiatives to decarbオンライン カジノ 比較ize not オンライン カジノ 比較ly the NYK Group but also the maritime industry and society in general. As the Group redoubles its efforts, I would like to ask all our stakeholders for their cオンライン カジノ 比較tinued support.
