NYK included in Climate Disclosure Leadership Index

NYK has once again been included in CDP's Climate Disclosure Leadership Index (CDLI). NYK received a score of 99 out of 100 in the CDP's 2014 Climate Change Information Request, ranking in the top 10% of Japan's 500 largest companies for a third consecutive year.

The CDP is an international, not-for-profit organization providing the only global system to measure, disclose, manage, and share vital environmental information.

The CDP harnesses the power of market forces, including 767 institutional investors with assets of US$92 trillion, to collect information from companies on their greenhouse gas emissions and assessment of climate change and other issues related to the environment. The CDP's annual information request was sent to the Japan 500 target companies asking the companies to measure and report data and information on climate-change-related issues affecting the companies.

In fiscal 2013, NYK gathered environmental performance data from about 354 offices and 800 vessels within the NYK Group. During that time, NYK strengthened its fuel-saving activity, promoted the development of innovative technologies, and successfully reduced negative environmental impacts. In addition, NYK's collection and disclosure of numerical data on CO2 emissions covered by Scope 1, 2, and 3 of the GHG Protocol were certified as accurate by a third-party certifier.
