“K” LINE participates in tree planting in Delhi, India

Japanese carrier Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (“K” LINE) reports that its employees, together with those of its group companies K Marine Ship Management Pte. (KMSM) and K LINE MARINE & ENERGY PTE. (KME) in Singapore, took part in a tree-planting campaign in Delhi, India when a crew seminar was held there in late November.

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. “K” LINE says it plans to continue its cooperation with the Indian community, as a large number of its seafarers are from India, to maintain and manage the trees planted.

“K” LINE group is promoting a variety of initiatives to support the decarbonisation 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.
