NYK is pleased to announce that the international environmental non-profit organization CDP* selected NYK as an "A List" company for climate change for the fifth consecutive year as a global leader in climate change response.

CDP's environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognized as the global standard for corporate environmental transparency.

* CDP is a global non-profit that runs the world’s environmental disclosure system for companies, cities, states, and regions. Founded in 2000 and working with more than 700 Signature Financial Institutions with over $142 trillion in assets, CDP pioneered using capital markets and corporate procurement to motivate companies to disclose their environmental impacts, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, safeguard water resources, and protect forests. In 2024, over 24,800 companies worldwide disclosed data through CDP questionnaires, making it one of the largest environmental disclosure platforms in the world. Fully TCFD aligned, CDP holds the largest environmental database in the world, and CDP scores are widely used to drive investment and procurement decisions towards a zero carbon, sustainable, and resilient economy. The CDP score is widely used around the world as a leading indicator in making sustainable investment and procurement decisions. Responding companies are allocated a score from A to D- depending on the comprehensiveness of their disclosure. Those that don’t disclose or provide insufficient information are marked with an F.
