NYK Launches Brands Emphasizing Net-Zero Emissions by 2050

NYK has launched its new “NYK GREEN EARTH” brand to consolidate its efforts to generate new value for low-carbon and decarbonization through green business. In addition, the company has expanded its “Sail GREEN” brand from solely its Car Transportation Division to the company’s other business divisions.

Under these two brands, NYK will seek to expand its green-business initiatives and low-environmental-impact services in its logistics business, which is mainly ocean transportation. At the same time, the company will develop both brands so that more stakeholders can know about the company’s low-carbonization and decarbonization efforts and services.

To intelligibly convey NYK’s wish of realizing a beautiful earth through the company’s efforts at sea, the logo simply combines “GREEN,” which emphasizes awareness of the environment, with “EARTH.” The image to the left incorporates the color green and is composed of a motif of the earth and the sea.

Target businesses
Offshore wind power-related business, development of next-generation fuels, participation in the supply chains for ammonia and hydrogen, LNG bunkering, transportation and storage of CO2, carbon credits, marine energy related business, support for startups, etc.

Sail GREEN

Background for launch and expansion of both brands
In February 2021, NYK issued the “NYK Group ESG Story,” which outlines the Group’s ESG management and provides concrete initiatives that the Group is pursuing to integrated ESG principles with management strategies. Further, on March 24 this year, NYK issued the “NYK Group ESG Story 2022” as a progress report. Moreover, NYK has set a long-term target of net-zero emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG) by 2050 for the NYK Group’s oceangoing businesses.

To achieve this goal, the NYK Group is steadily promoting low-carbon and decarbonized modes of transportation and the establishment of a value chain concept to realize a decarbonized society in the future — e.g., provision of environmentally friendly, total logistics services; participation in renewable-energy business such as offshore wind power generation; technology development for ammonia- and hydrogen-fueled vessels; creation of supply chains for hydrogen, ammonia, and decarbonized energy; etc.
