Environmental Performance Data

Disclosing GHG data based on the GHG Protocol

NYK regularly receives an assurance statement from a third-party certifier confirming that NYK is reporting and disclosing accurate numerical values for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by NYK Group companies. This data is then used in calculations to confirm that NYK is meeting the framework of Scope 1, 2, and 3 of the GHG Protocol*1, a benchmark that NYK has achieved since 2012.

Obtaining Environmental Load Data from Domestic and Overseas Group Companies

Grasping the environmental burdens of energy consumption is the first step toward reducing GHG emissions. We collect data on environmental burdens such as electricity usage, fuel consumption, industrial waste, and so on from domestic and overseas consolidated subsidiaries companies in an effort to comprehensively grasp the load situation throughout all our group companies and promote further reductions at the individual company level.

Domestic

To better visualize our global environmental performance, we started collecting GHG Emissions data in January 2007 from major domestic consolidated group companies. As of March 2024, we were collecting data on 35 items from 196.

Overseas

In January 2008, we started collecting GHG Emissions data.
As of March 2024, we were collecting data on the same 35 items from 342 locations as in the domestic network. This network serves as a communication tool with each company, in addition to allowing us to visualize the collected data.

We will continue to work toward more effective GHG emission reduction through ongoing analysis.
