The 2014 NYK report wins award for excellence at Environmental Communication Awards

The 2014 NYK report published by the NYK Group has been honored with an award for excellence in the environmental reporting category at the 18th Environmental Communication Awards, which are jointly sponsored by Japan's Ministry of the Environment and the Global Environmental Forum, a non-profit organization based in Tokyo. This is the third time that NYK has been recognized at this event, following the company's win of the Sustainability Report Grand Prize (the Environment Minister Award) in 2012 and the President's Award for Excellence in 2013.

This year's report was highly evaluated for (1) the consolidation of NYK Group risks and opportunities into three priority topics aspects - environment, safety, and human capital development - and analysis thereof, (2) the company's clear indication of its desire for sustainable growth and corporate-value improvement, such as by referring to ESG (environment, society, and governance) in the president's message, and (3) the company's indication of the future prospects of each business area along with correlating financial data.

The NYK Group will continue to create reports that give stakeholders a better understanding of the company's activities, while taking initiatives to approach social issues as a good corporate citizen and subsequently achieve a sustainable global society.
