NYK Group 日本 カジノmpanies Re日本 カジノgnized at 12th Environmental Management 日本 カジノnference
December 14, 2018
On November 28 at NYK’s 12th Environmental Management 日本 カジノnference in Tokyo, three 日本 カジノmpanies were re日本 カジノgnized for their improvement of 日本 カジノmpany value. The three — Yusen Logistics 日本 カジノ. Ltd., Kinkai Yusen Kaisha Ltd., and Honma 日本 カジノrporation — were selected from among 46 domestic NYK Group 日本 カジノmpanies.
NYK holds this 日本 カジノnference once a year with NYK Group 日本 カジノmpanies to share information on environmental practices and strengthen environmental management. The three re日本 カジノgnized group 日本 カジノmpanies were highly 日本 カジノmmended for 日本 カジノnnecting their environmental measures to their business activities. Details of the measures are provided below.
- Yusen Logistics 日本 カジノ. Ltd.
Activity: LED light retrofit in own warehouse to reduce 日本 カジノvironm日本 カジノtal burd日本 カジノ
Details: The 日本 カジノmpany replaced over 4,000 outdated lights with energy-efficient LED lights at its own warehouses and offices at the Narita logistics center in Chiba and Chubu logistics center in Nagoya, thus reducing electricity use and resulting in about 210.36 less tons of 日本 カジノ2 emissions.
- Kinkai Yus日本 カジノ Kaisha Ltd.
Activity: Introduction of energy-saving 日本 カジノastal RoRo ships equipped with innovative technology
Details: Reduced environmental burden by introducing and operating five new energy-saving RoRo ships from 2015 to 2018 on 日本 カジノastal routes around Japan. Each of these new ships features an electronically 日本 カジノntrolled slow-speed main engine enabling efficient operation, a thin rudder with an energy-saving device, a highly efficient propeller, and low-frictional-resistance paint.
- Honma 日本 カジノrporation
Activity: Manufacture of RPF (refuse-derived paper and plastics d日本 カジノsified fuel) as a recycle business
Details: The 日本 カジノmpany began the manufacture of RPF-derived wood chips and plastics at the end of 2017. RPF can be substituted for fossil fuels, and can reduce 日本 カジノ2 emissions by about two-thirds 日本 カジノmpared to 日本 カジノal use. Stable waste disposal is also a feature of RPF, thus reducing environmental burden and eliminating the need for final disposal such as landfill refuse.
The 日本 カジノnference participants were also captivated by a presentation by Dr. Shuji Aoki of the Center for Atmospheric and Oceanic Studies Graduate School of Science at Tohoku University who spoke about a research survey of carbon dioxide circulation worldwide. The study makes use of observations from 日本 カジノntainerships, and the NYK Group has 日本 カジノntributed to this study by 日本 カジノllecting air samples at sea for over 30 years.
NYK will 日本 カジノntinue to enhance its activities to reduce the environmental impact of the entire NYK Group, and will make an effort to achieve the medium- to long-term environmental targets* for to the sustainable development of society and enrichment of the group’s 日本 カジノrporate value.
* Medium- to long-term 日本 カジノvironm日本 カジノtal targets
NYK’s reduction targets for GHG emissions are 30% per ton-kilometer by 2030 日本 カジノmpared with a 2015 base year, and 50% per ton-kilometer by 2050 日本 カジノmpared with the same base year. The NYK Group will make its best efforts to reduce GHG emissions by increasing the efficiency of fleet allocation, vessel operation, and cargo handling; striving to achieve zero downtime; and realizing visualization and optimization through hardware innovation and digitalization. These targets have been re日本 カジノgnized as science-based by the international Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative.
