By offering transport solutions with a lower environmental burden, the MOL Group is evolving to meet today's demands.
MOL is reinforcing and emphasizing the advantages that marine transport offers, as an environmentally efficient mode of transportation, in various ways, including development of the Senpaku ISHIN project. The MOL Group thus contributes to sustained global economic growth by offering transportation services that can respond to customers' needs while protecting the global environment.
Safe operation is always the top priority
MOL continues to develop its own safe operation support system, as part of ceaseless efforts to implement measures that ensure safe shipping operations, and actively introduces ships with specifications that help to minimize any environmental impact in the unlikely event of an accident, thereby eliminating the pollution of the marine environment caused by shipping accidents.
Improve efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of ships
The MOL Group is seeking to improve the environmental efficiency of the ships it operates with the aim of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases as well as NOx and SOx. In this way, the group is trying to satisfy customers' needs for a supply chain with a lower environmental burden.

Offering low environmental impact solutions as a whole group
The MOL Group is making every effort to offer business services and solutions that reduce the environmental impact, including promoting a modal shift with ferry transport.
Invest ¥28.0 billion over three years to develop and implement environmental technologies
Advocate policies and measures aimed at contributing to actual reductions in environmental impact
By encouraging the use and improvement of marine transport as an environmentally efficient mode of transport, it will be possible to both reduce the actual environmental impact and promote sustained economic growth. MOL continues to actively participate in the formulation of environmental policies from this point of view.
Contribute to conservation of biodiversity and protection of the natural environment
MOL is seeking to cultivate a stronger awareness, among its employees, of the need to protect biodiversity and the natural environment, and is actively promoting activities, technological development and social contributions for this.
