Environment, Social, Governance (ESG)

As a leading global shipping partner, NYK provides services to and delivers and ships products from countries all around the world. Our responsibility as an international shipping organisation is to use that access to developing nations to assist and elevate them in their development journey. As such we provide many of our services and products to these nations free of standard costs to ensure these nations have every opportunity to achieve sustainable development goals as a part of that development journey.

We’ve only got one planet so as a leader in the global shipping industry NYK is dedicated to improving the action we take towards environmental preservation. We implemented the Sail GREEN initiative to ensure that we stay on track with our environmental goals. We are dedicated to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, we provide low-emissions services across multiple sectors and we provide automotive terminals powered by renewable energy on our LNG-powered car carriers. We’re also ensuring we contribute to eco-friendly supply chains to keep us accountable to our goals.

As a sizeable transport shipping company, it’s essential that our approach to sustainability is considered and thorough. Here at NYK we develop and implement initiatives that help sustain our way of life and the planet we live on and have incorporated them into our everyday operations. We follow a simple mandate, to ensure that our operations are not detrimental to humankind or our planet.

Shipping, whether automotive, industrial or break bulk, is an essential part of our societal infrastructure. No matter how we continue to develop it is likely that we will need to get large quantities of difficult to move items from one spot to another. At NYK we are devoted not just to the success of our operations today, but to the development of our industry as a whole. We strive to advocate for the industry so future leaders worldwide continue to prioritise support an industry that will carry us, and our products, for decades to come.
