Contribution to Environmental Preservation
We strive to increase our contribution to environmental conservation by conducting distribution activities that give due consideration to the environment.
Reducing the environmental impact of domestic transportation in Japan
In addition to complying with the requirement of the Energy Conservation Law to "improve energy consumption intensity by an average of 1% or more per year", we are working to reduce environmental impact and transportation costs.
Specifically, we are continuously working on modal shifts, switching from truck transport to vessel transport (coastal vessel) and rail transport (JR container), which have a lower environmental impact.
Furthermore, we are working to reduce the environmental impact of transportation by, for example, controlling re-transportation between logistics centers by landing imported products at the optimal port according to the sales ratio in each region.
Reducing the environmental impact of overseas transportation
We are working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with overseas transportation.
Specifically, in addition to reducing air transportation and improving loading efficiency through the promotion of modal shifts, we are working to optimize sea routes and landing sites that connect production bases and consumption sites.
Harmony and Coexistence with Society
We will conduct business activities that respect the culture and customs of each country and region, participate in activities that contribute to the development of each country and region, and strive for harmony and coexistence with society as good corporate citizen. Furthermore, through logistics DX*, we will promote the resolution of social issues, including regional revitalization, and contribute to the development of sustainable local communities.
In addition to complying with laws and social norms, we respect basic human rights and diversity in all business activities, and will not discriminate or violate human rights. We do not allow child labor or forced labor.
