NYK Publishes Fiscal 2025 Group GHG Emissions Data
NYK Group has officially published its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data for the fiscal year 2025 on its website. This release marks a significant step towards enhancing transparency in environmental reporting. The company has adopted the GHG Protocol, an internationally recognized framework for GHG accounting and reporting, to calculate emissions across all three scopes: Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3.
To ensure comprehensive reporting, NYK gathers information from its major consolidated subsidiaries both in Japan and overseas, as well as selected equity-method affiliates. This broad data collection helps provide an accurate picture of the Group’s overall emissions. Additionally, starting from fiscal year 2025, NYK has introduced newly disclosed GHG accounting principles as part of its sustainability efforts. These principles detail the methodology used, including which companies are included, the types of GHGs accounted for, calculation methods for each scope, and how biofuels are treated.
Commitment to Accuracy and Third-Party Verification
NYK’s commitment to accuracy is underscored by its long-standing practice of involving an independent third-party assurance provider to verify emissions data. Since fiscal year 2011, this verification process has ensured that the data collected is both reliable and accurate. For 2025, NYK has once again secured third-party assurance, confirming that the Group’s GHG emissions were measured and calculated appropriately.
This commitment to transparency and accuracy is crucial as global awareness of climate change increases. NYK Group aims to continuously collect and analyze emissions data to inform its strategies for reducing GHG emissions effectively. By establishing clear accounting principles and undergoing regular third-party verification, NYK demonstrates its dedication to sustainability and responsible environmental practices.
As part of its ongoing initiatives, the NYK Group plans to advance its efforts in reducing GHG emissions. This proactive approach not only helps in fulfilling regulatory requirements but also plays a vital role in combating climate change. The company’s transparency in its environmental impact reporting is a positive step towards building trust with stakeholders and the public.
