MOL Group Environmental
Vision

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.

Overview of Action Plans


Milestones

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


Progress

We are making steady progress toward achieving each goal and milestone set forth in the "MOL Group Environmental Vision".


Progress toward medium- to long-term targets

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).


Progress on Milestones

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).

Initiatives related to carbon credits

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.
