Toyo Seikan Group Environmental Policy and Goals
Based on Toyo Seikan Group Environmental Policy, which was established in 2002, we have been actively working on the protection and improvement of the global environment through our business activities. In 2021, we revised our long-term goals, which had previously aimed for a “low-carbon society” but now aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 toward a “zero-carbon society,” and also raised the mid to long-term targets for fiscal 2030. Taking specific measures to reduce environmental impact, we will drive our efforts in an effective manner.
