— Environmental Conservation Initiative Undertaken by the “K” LINE Group —
On November 19, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE) and its group companies, K Marine Ship Management Pte. Ltd. (KMSM) and K LINE MARINE & ENERGY PTE. LTD. (KME) in Singapore, planted trees in Delhi, India, where a crew seminar was held.
The ceremony was conducted with the support of Hotel Radisson Blu, New Delhi, the seminar venue. Indian seafarers, onshore staff from KMSM and KME, and Akihiro Fujimaru, the Senior Managing Corporate Officer representing “K” LINE, attended the ceremony.
Different types of trees suitable for the local climate were selected for the occasion. It is expected that the trees will facilitate the conservation of biodiversity, address climate change through the absorption of CO2, and improve the landscape in the region. We plan to continue our cooperation with the Indian community, as a large number of “K” LINE’s seafarers are from India, to maintain and manage the trees planted.
“K” LINE group is promoting a variety of initiatives to support the decarbonization of its own operations and society in accordance with its long-term environmental policy, ““K” LINE Environmental Vision 2050”. The initiative should increase Group employees’ interest in the environment and facilitate their development of a full understanding of natural capital and climate change, enabling all of them to continue to work together as a team to build a sustainable future.
