For Bluer Oceans
MOL Group is committed to achieving "Net Zero Emissions by 2050" and contributing to the realization of a sustainable ocean and global environment. Stable oceans and climate are not only the foundation for value creation in social infrastructure businesses and traditional shipping businesses but are also essential for industrial development and for enriching people's lives. By meeting society's needs through the provision of environmental solutions such as low‑ and zero‑carbon transportation services, and by turning these initiatives into growth opportunities for our Group, we aim to be a strong and resilient corporate group that grows globally.
In April 2026, in conjunction with the formulation of Phase 2 of our corporate management plan, BLUE ACTION 2035, we updated the MOL Group Environmental Vision, which sets out the Group's fundamental approach to Environment. The Vision was originally established in 2020, and this update was approved by the Board of Directors in February 2026.

* For further details on our climate change measures, please refer to the Climate Change Countermeasures / Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).


To ensure the achievement of net-zero emissions, we have set quantitative KPIs and milestones for measuring progress for each action.

We are making steady progress toward achieving each goal and milestone set forth in the "MOL Group Environmental Vision".
| Medium- to long-term targets | FY2024 Results | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| In the 2020s | Net zero emissions ocean-going vessels | Deploy | 0 vessels |
| 2035 | GHG emissions intensity | ▲45% (compared to 2019) |
▲9.6% |
| 2050 | GHG emissions All of scope 1,2,3 |
▲90% or more (compared to 2019)(*1) |
▲8.9% |
(*1) If residual emissions remain in the net zero target year(2050), we will neutralize them with Carbon Dioxide Removal(CDR).
| Division | Indicators | Milestones | FY2024 Results |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adoption of alternative fuels - ACTION 01 |
Ratio of alternative fuel use | 2030: 20% / 2035: 45% | 2.8% |
| Number of alternative fuel-capable vessels | 2030: 210 vessels / 2035: 300 vessels | 115 vessels | |
| Improvement of fuel efficiency - ACTION 02 |
Improvement of fuel efficiency % (compared with 2019) |
2030: 14% / 2035: 22% | 8.9% |
| GHG emission reduction achieved through the DarWIN Project (cumulative total through 2030) |
2030: 2.7 mil t-CO2e | 0.18 mil t-CO2e | |
| Number of vessels equipped with Wind Challenger | 2030: 25 vessels / 2035: 80 vessels | 2 vessels | |
| Vision Overall | GHG emissions Scope1,2, and part of scope 3(*2) (compared with 2019) |
2030: ▲10% / 2035: ▲40% | ▲12.5% |
| Ratio of power from renewable energy for Scope 2 | 2030: 100% | 57.5% |
(*2) This refers to emissions at the fuel production stage of marine fuels used by the Group’s operated oceangoing vessels, which fall under Category 3 (fuel- and energy-related activities not included in Scope 1 or Scope 2).
To ensure achieving the neutralization of remaining emissions anticipated in the future and to promote the spread and expansion of negative emissions in order to achieve decarbonization throughout society, we are advancing both nature-based and technology-based initiatives from the early stage. Specific examples are shown below.
[Nature-based solutions]
We will contribute to biodiversity and local communities in addition to decarbonization through support for projects such as forest and mangrove regeneration. Since January 2022, we have been participating in a blue carbon project aimed at restoring and conserving mangroves in South Sumatra, Indonesia. The project aims to reduce CO2 emissions by about 5 million tons through forest conservation activities and to absorb/store another 6 million tons of CO2 through afforestation of mangroves and other plants on about 9,500ha of bare land in the next three decades.
[Technology-based solutions]
By engaging with CO2 removal technology projects now, we will contribute to innovation and cost reduction of underfunded elements of nascent technologies.
As one of the founding buyers of the NextGen CDR Facility and a member of the First Movers Coalition's CDR sector, we are committed to purchasing at least 50,000 tons of CO2 removals utilizing CDR technologies by 2030.
We will give due consideration to the integrity of the CDR credits we procure by selecting credits that have been certified by third-party organizations, as well as by referring to external evaluations and individually verifying them ourselves by referring to relevant guidelines.
