Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha announced that the company was recognized as “Supplier Engagement Leaderboard” for four consecutive years, the top rating, on “Supplier Engagement Rating” from CDP, which is a non-profit global organization  engaging in activities for investigating and disclosing environmental information, on February 10.

“Supplier Engagement Rating” evaluates the companies’ initiatives for climate change and greenhouse gas emissions throughout the supply chain and ranks the companies in line with their efforts. Our strategies and initiatives were evaluated on “Supplier Engagement Rating”.

This year 518 companies, including 105 Japanese companies, out of 6,300 companies were awarded as “Supplier Engagement Leaderboard” worldwide.

In November 2021, we have revised our environmental target in our long-term environmental guideline “K” LINE Environmental Vision 2050 -Blue Seas for the Future- in order to strengthen the initiatives toward global climate change countermeasures and has set our new target for 2050 as “The Challenge of Achieving Net-Zero GHG Emissions”.

As an integrated logistics company, the “K” LINE Group is working to realize sustainable society and increase corporate value. We will not only reinforce initiatives for reducing our in-house GHG emissions but also actively support projects aimed at a decarbonized society. These initiatives include support vessels for projects related to the renewable energy field, such as offshore wind power, transportation of new energy sources, such as hydrogen and ammonia, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) transportation. We reduce its environmental impact based on its corporate philosophy of contributing to society so that people live well and prosperously.
