NYK has become a member of the Smart Freight Centre (SFC), an international non-profit organisation that aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the logistics sector. The Global Ro-Ro Community, which aims to standardise the calculation of GHG emissions from RoRo vessels such as car carriers, was established with SFC, Wallenius Wilhelmsen, and ClassNK. The first meeting was held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on the same day and attended by 10 shipping companies and classification societies from around the world. In recent years, various companies have become increasingly interested in carbon emissions throughout the life cycles of their products and services (carbon footprint), and understanding GHG emissions related to "transportation" has become an important issue for these companies.
