The European Union has set a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at 
least 55% from 1990 levels no later than 2030, and companies operating within 
the EU are thus accelerating their decarbonization efforts.

To realize its long-term vision of becoming a "logistics company with a strong 
presence in the global market," the Nippon Express Group has made addressing 
climate change one of its material issues and is working to reduce CO2 
emissions in its operations as well as to create products and services that 
help its customers reduce their own CO2 emissions.

NX Italy has launched a last-mile delivery service that cuts truck transport 
CO2 emissions by using hydrogen-powered boats for deliveries primarily to 
luxury fashion shops. These hydrogen-powered boats are equipped with removable 
hydrogen generators, and they emit far less CO2 than gasoline and diesel 
engines.

The Nippon Express Group will continue actively working to bring about a 
sustainable society by striving to reduce the environmental impact of logistics 
and building a resource-saving and recycling-oriented society.
