In order to reduce logistics related CO2 emissions, we are actively encouraging a modal shift. From 1994 we have been cutting over our product transport to customers in Kyushu from truck to ferry, succeeding in a 75% cut in CO2 emissions. Further, transport has been cut over from truck to train for Hiroshima as of 2005 and likewise for Okayama as of 2006 making for an 83% CO2 emission reduction.
