Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. has signed the "Call to Action for Shipping Decarbonization", which is called for by the "Getting to Zero Coalition", a coalition of companies aiming to decarbonize shipping. The Call to Action requires governments to take action to achieve decarbonization of shipping, stating that concrete actions by governments are essential to decarbonization in addition to efforts by the private sector. 

In June 2021, MOL announced the “MOL Group Environmental Vision 2.1” (Note 3) , aiming to realize a sustainable society. As a pioneer among Japanese shipping companies, has set a goal of achieving net zero GHG emissions by 2050. The Call to Action is in line with MOL's efforts to achieve net zero GHG emissions and our corporate mission. 

In addition, Takeshi Hashimoto, Representative Director President at MOL was invited as a speaker to the public launch event of the Call to Action held on September 22, where he introduced MOL's efforts towards decarbonization.
