「Toward 2050, we will pursue net-zero GHG emissions and further decarbonize our own operations, while also promoting support for society’s decarbonization, with the aim of “contributing to people’s prosperous lives.”」
The company continued to pursue net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 and support society’s decarbonization. It also continued the transition to LNG-fueled vessels, LPG-fueled vessels, and ammonia- and hydrogen-fueled vessels, as well as the use of Seawing and K-IMS. - FY2023ReframedAnnual report
「“2030 Mid-Term Milestones” ・Reducing our own carbon emissions: Improve CO2 emissions efficiency by 50% from 2008 ・Supporting society’s transition to a low-carbon economy: Promote new energy transportation and supply systems to support society’s transition to a low-carbon economy “2050 Target” ・Decarbonizing our own operations: Pursue net-zero GHG emissions ・Supporting society’s decarbonization: Become a provider of new energy transportation and supply solutions supporting society’s decarbonization We will continue the transition to zero-emission vessels powered by new fuels, including LNG-fueled vessels, LPG-fueled vessels, and vessels fueled by ammonia and hydrogen.」
The 2030 target was defined as a 50% improvement in CO2 emissions efficiency from 2008, with the company outlining its pursuit of net-zero emissions by 2050 and measures including the transition to new-fuel vessels. The objectives under the previous Environmental Vision were made more specific and reorganized. - FY2022RaisedAnnual report
「In November 2021, the company revised the 2050 target under its long-term policy, raising it to the more ambitious goal of "challenging to achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2050," and announced that it would pursue further challenges.」
The company raised its previous Environmental Vision 2050 to a challenge of achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. It stated that it would continue pursuing the existing target of reducing CO2 emissions by 25% by 2030. - FY2021AdvancedAnnual report
「Under the new Environmental Vision, the company reviewed some of the issues and targets to be addressed based on the results of scenario analysis and reorganized the targets around 2 pillars: decarbonization and the achievement of virtually zero environmental impact. In particular, toward decarbonization, it is advancing initiatives including ① completion of the next-generation environmentally friendly LNG-fueled car carrier “CENTURY HIGHWAY GREEN,” ② commencement of its LNG bunkering business, and ③ implementation of the wind-powered automated kite system “Seawing.” The company will further intensify its efforts toward decarbonization.」
The company gave concrete form to the 2 pillars of its new Environmental Vision by completing an LNG-fueled car carrier, launching an LNG bunkering business, and implementing Seawing. It is also continuing to pursue its SBT-certified target of reducing CO2 emissions by 25% from 2011 levels by 2030. - FY2020ReframedAnnual report
「In March 2015, the company formulated the “K” LINE Environmental Vision 2050 to address various environmental issues. After 5 years, it reviewed its key environmental issues and targets and announced a new “K” LINE Environmental Vision 2050 in 2020. The new vision incorporates scenario analysis based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), which the company endorsed in October 2018. The analysis identifies climate-related risks and opportunities and assesses their financial impacts. Based on its findings, the company reset its key issues and targets around decarbonization and the achievement of virtually zero environmental impact.」
The company reviewed its previous Environmental Vision 5 years later and announced a new vision incorporating scenario analysis based on the TCFD recommendations. The environmental themes were reset around decarbonization and the achievement of virtually zero environmental impact. - FY2019AdvancedAnnual report
「In July 2018, Central LNG Shipping Co., Ltd., a joint venture in which the company also invests, signed a shipbuilding contract with Kawasaki Heavy Industries,Ltd. for a vessel to supply LNG fuel to ships. The vessel was scheduled for completion around autumn 2020 and was expected to become the first LNG bunkering vessel to operate in Japan.」
