Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (K Line) has announced that its CO2 reduction targets have been approved as "scientifically consistent" with the 2 degree centigrade temperature goal set by the COP 21 Paris Agreement. As a result, K Line says it has obtained certification from Science Based Target Initiative (SBTi), and has set its interim target to reduce CO2 emissions by 10 percent for 2019. In March 2015, we introduced our long-term environmental vision,"K" Line Environmental Vision 2050 "Securing Blue Seas for Tomorrow" and set an environmental target to reduce CO2 emissions from our operating ships by half before 2050 as one of our counter-measures against global warming.
