NYK plans to issue transition bonds in mid-October 2026. This marks NYK's seventh issuance of such bonds.
Transition bonds are designed to facilitate the transition to a low-carbon society. The funds raised will be allocated to projects aligned with our medium-term management plan, Sail Green, Drive Transformations 2026 - A Passion for Planetary Wellbeing . These projects emphasize long-term transition strategies that contribute to decarbonization, including investments in LNG-fueled vessels.
Since issuing the shipping industry's first green bonds in 2018 and subsequently Japan's first transition bonds in 2021, we have been at the forefront of sustainable finance. Through the issuance of these transition bonds, NYK aims to accelerate our growth strategy anchored in sustainable management and further enhance recognition among a broad range of stakeholders.
