Service overview and features
The "NX-GREEN Calculator" is a service that calculates and visualizes CO2 
emissions from origin to destination for international air, ocean (including 
river barge), truck, and rail transport when users simply enter the origin and 
destination of a shipment, the quantity and weight of goods being shipped, and 
the transport mode(s) involved.

Meticulous calculations of distances between airports, ports, and rail freight 
stations as well as between origins and destinations worldwide identified by 
city name or postal code allow for more precise estimates of CO2 emissions. The 
service also enables users to calculate emissions for each leg of a complex 
transport route by specifying transit points and total emissions for multiple 
shipments based on transport data for a given period. The calculator will be 
offered in three languages (Japanese, English, and simplified Chinese) for 
global use. It can be accessed on NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS' website.

Background to service development
The Nippon Express Group has positioned "tackling climate change" as one of the 
material issues it must address in realizing its long-term vision of becoming a 
logistics company with a strong presence in the global market. The Group has 
also developed and released "One-Stop Navi" and "EcoTrans Navi," tools for 
visualizing CO2 emissions from domestic transport.

management among its customers, supporting their efforts to reduce CO2 
emissions by visualizing CO2 emissions for international transport as well. The
