Since its foundation in 1885, Nippon Yusen Kalsha (NYK Line) has overcome various challenges, grown steadily, and become one of the world's leading shipping companies.

    While recognizing the importance of wide-ranging trade and commerce as a basis for the development of the world's economies and cultures, we at NYK Line have sought to offer safe, high-quality services as both a logistics megacarrier and cruise enterprise. We believe that we can best contribute to the sustainable growth of international society by respecting human rights, complying with all relevant laws, and conducting business in compliance with a code of social ethics. In support of this effort, we have developed the "NYK Line Business Credo" that follows.

1. Mission to Society
Conscious of our mission to society to offer a safe and high-quality service as a logistics mega carrier and a cruise enterprise, we shall listen carefully to the wishes of our customers, satisfy their expectations and earn their trust, secure reasonable profits, comply with our shareholder's expectations and contribute to the development of society.

2. Safe Voyages and Global Environmental Protection
We recognize that achieving safe passage for our ships is the most important task. We shall attempt to improve existing safety measures based on international safety standards and encourage the use of safe operating techniques. We further recognize that the oceans are precious natural assets, and shall endeavor to prevent marine pollution and preserve a favorable global environment.

3.Reinforcement of Security Measures
To prevent the shutdown or inappropriate use of international logistics networks as a result of illegal activities, and to prevent any improper access to information or leakage of information held in privacy by our company, we shall take measures to ensure and maintain security.
