- Sustainability
The shipping industry, which operates amidst the vast natural environment of the ocean, plays a vital role in supporting global lifestyles and economies
by safely and reliably transporting massive volumes of goods. Since its foundation in 1911, Meiji Shipping Group has consistently upheld the philosophy of being
"sound yet proactive," supporting people’s lives through the ownership and ship management of a diverse fleet of ocean-going vessels. From early on,
we have pursued global expansion with the aim of establishing a shipping business from a global perspective.
To address the high volatility inherent in the shipping industry, we have diversified our business portfolio domestically by expanding into hotel-related businesses, as well as nursery schools, and nursing home businesses, thereby enhancing the stability of our management. At the core of these initiative lies
our commitment to a long-term and sustainable perspective, rather than being driven by short-term profits.
Across all areas of our group’s operations, we strive to achieve both sustainable corporate growth and meaningful contributions to society, the environment, and our customers. To this end, we have established the following sustainability policy.
