"K" Line has announced that it is implementing a long-term environmental management plan to conserve the global environment towards 2050, called "K" Line Environmental Vision 2050, that aims to reduce the environmental impact of its shipping activities "to as close to zero as possible."
The company's environmental conservation vision is to "realise a sustainable society, hand on this blue and beautiful ocean to the next generation by contributing to society for the well-being and prosperous lifestyle of people around the world," a company statement said.
"In the future global environment, it is expected that the worldwide population will increase rapidly in emerging countries, and will lead to faster economic growth and greater demand for natural resources, foods, water and industrial products such as cars and home electric appliances.
"As a result, the environmental issues such as resources depletion and global warming will become more serious problems," it said, adding that "shipping is essentially a very efficient and eco-friendly transportation mode that can transport a large amount of goods at one time."
The company said it is taking "firm steps" towards its "Goals of 2050" laid out in its Environmental Vision through a "variety of initiatives related to environmental conservation."
