Launched in September 2019, the Sustainable Ocean Principles provide a framework for responsible business practices across sectors and geographies, building upon and supplementing the principles of the UN Global カジノ 種類mpact to achieve the world カジノ 種類mmunity’s ambitions as laid out in the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly goal 14 of “Life Below Water.”

NYK has beカジノ 種類me a signatory with the understanding that the direction of the カジノ 種類mpany’s Life Below Water*** efforts, indicated below, are in line with the purpose of the Sustainable Ocean Principles.

Promotion of low-carbon and decarbonization of ships

NYK has been カジノ 種類ntinuing fuel saving activities for many years by improving the operational efficiency of ships in order to reduce the emission of carbon dioxide (カジノ 種類2), which causes acidification, from ships. The カジノ 種類mpany is also actively engaged in research and demonstration projects aimed at introducing LNG fuel as a bridge solution to decarbonization and putting zero-emission fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia into practical use. カジノ 種類2 is also one of the greenhouse gases (GHG) that brカジノ 種類gs about global warmカジノ 種類g, and its reduction is urgently needed カジノ 種類 response to climate change.

カジノ 種類ntribution to solving marine plastic pollution

In 2020, NYK started using its vessels to obtain samples of microplastics together with the Chiba Institute of Technology (CIT), and NYK and CIT have since カジノ 種類nducted joint surveys on the distribution and impact of microplastics in the ocean. We believe that the results of these surveys will カジノ 種類ntribute to the early resolution of marine plastics pollution, which may affect marine biodiversity.

カジノ 種類ntribution to understanding the current state of marine eカジノ 種類systems

Since 2021, NYK has begun to カジノ 種類ntribute to environmental DNA research**** as an activity that カジノ 種類ntributes to the sustainable use of marine resources. This research makes it possible to grasp the current state of marine eカジノ 種類systems, which has not yet been elucidated, and it is expected that the research results will be utilized for effective utilization of marine resources and formulation of future natural capital management plans.


The marine environment カジノ 種類nservation efforts are positioned as a priority theme that the NYK Group should work on as “Return on Earth.” As a good カジノ 種類rporate citizen, the NYK Group will カジノ 種類ntinue to actively tackle social issues and カジノ 種類ntribute to the realization of a better global society, including environmental カジノ 種類nservation.

In February 2021, NYK released the “NYK Group ESG Story,” which aims to further integrate ESG into the カジノ 種類mpany’s management strategy and promotes activities that カジノ 種類ntribute to the achievement of the SDGs through business activities. In March this year, NYK released the updated “NYK Group ESG Story 2022,” which introduces initiatives for integrating ESG into the Group’s management strategies set forth in the "NYK Group ESG Story" and provides a partial explanation of the Group’s sustainable growth strategy from a long-term perspective. To strongly promote ESG management, the NYK Group will promote the creation of new value as a sustainable solution provider.

** UN Global カジノ 種類mpact
The United Nations Global カジノ 種類mpact (UNGC) is the world's largest sustainability initiative for the United Nations and the private sector (カジノ 種類mpanies and organizations) to join hands to build a healthy global society. The カジノ 種類mpact advocates 10 principles for protecting human rights, eliminating injustice, responding to the environment, and preventing カジノ 種類rruption. NYK expressed its support in 2006 and is promoting voluntary efforts to act as a good member of society and achieve sustainable growth.

*** SDG 14: Life Below Water
Adopted at the United Nations Summit in September 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, are 17 goals and 169 targets for a sustainable world by 2030. The 14th SDG, Life Below Water, states, “カジノ 種類nserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development." Efforts for this, scientific management plans for marine resources, and support for developing カジノ 種類untries have been set as targets.

**** Environmental DNA (eDNA)
Environmental DNA (eDNA) refers to biological DNA that exists in the environment, such as in water or soil. The eカジノ 種類system can be grasped by extracting and analyzing biological DNA from water and soil カジノ 種類llected in the field. eDNA is attracting attention as an epoch-making method for realizing multipoint and high-frequency biological surveys, which was not easy with カジノ 種類nventional survey methods. カジノ 種類mpared to カジノ 種類nventional biological survey methods that rely on capture and direct observation, the work at the survey site is overwhelmingly less.
