MANAGING DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
ESG PROCESS
In 1991, UCI Logistics UK, the predecessor of Yusen Logistics UK, was born and in 2004, when NYK Logistics was renamed from UCI, our company has undergone many changes over the past 30 years. The journey has not been a smooth one. Our history as a logistics service provider supporting society and industry in areas such as car production and retail distribution has given us a sense of social mission as well as profitable growth, and our relatively large organisation, compared to other European companies in the group, has fostered a corporate culture with a sense of colleague's engagement. It can be said that the company was equipped with a culture that was more sympathetic to sustainability. Even so, there was still a strong sense of confusion on the ground as to how to incorporate the new evaluation criteria of sustainability into each individual job.
In 2022, the Sustainability Steering Committee was established within the organisation with members selected from each department in order to make ESG/sustainability a personal matter and to incorporate the basic concepts set out in the ESG story into more concrete activities. Although we have been improving colleague engagement, providing mental health care, compliance education and risk management, we started by sharing and visualising examples of initiatives and plans in each department in the committee first, in line with the ESG story. In the environmental area, we disclose our CO 2 emissions in our Financial Statement every year according to SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting), which came into effect in 2019, but we need to invest in environmental considerations in collaboration with our customers.
