Environmental Management System
In October 2001, we structured and commenced operation
of "K" LINE´s own Environmental Management System
(EMS), and were awarded ISO14001 Certification for our
EMS by Nippon Kaiji Kyokai (ClassNK) on February 26, 2002.
Our EMS embraces the entire scope of marine
transportation services in all "K" LINE sectors
and branches in Japan as well as three ship
management companies
("K" Line Ship Management Co., Ltd., Taiyo Nippon Kisen
Co., Ltd. and Escobal Japan Ltd.), KLine (Japan) Ltd.,
Kawasaki Kinkai Kisen Kaisha, Ltd.,
are involved in the program.

As EMS encompasses all marine transportation services,
its importance is directed to not only ship management itself
but also ship operations and deployment planning.
In cooperation with each group company concerned, "K" LINE is tackling all environmental
issues covering marine transportation business from the widest possible perspective.
From 2004, we started publishing our own "Social & Environmental Report"
that contains information about Corporate Social Responsibility.
If you are interested in how we are tackling environmental preservation,
we invite you to look through it. "Social & Environmental Report"
may also be accessed on our website.
