“NYK has been making efforts to reduce GHG emissions from ships, as well as achieve zero emissions, but in recent years the worldwide demand for decarbonisation has accelerated further in the oceangoing shipping industry,” it said. “In accordance with this worldwide demand, NYK has made a decision to establish this net-zero target so that the group can continue to be essential to society and industry.”
NYK said it will encourage new value creation as a sustainable solution provider by deepening cooperation not only within the group but also with stakeholders and accelerating initiatives for decarbonisation in the oceangoing shipping industry.
