Daibiru Corporation's Commitment to Sustainability

Daibiru Corporation, a subsidiary of Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, has made significant strides in its commitment to environmental sustainability by implementing CO2-free electricity across all 29 of its owned properties, both domestically and internationally. This strategic initiative aligns the company with the RE100 international commitment aimed at achieving 100% renewable energy for businesses. By transitioning to renewable energy, Daibiru is on track to reduce its CO2 emissions by approximately 32,000 tons annually, which is equivalent to the emissions produced by around 19,000 average households.

Background of Daibiru's Initiative

The transition to CO2-free power represents a key component of Daibiru's 'BLUE ACTION 2035' plan, which emphasizes the need for stable revenue streams outside traditional shipping operations. In light of the volatile nature of the shipping market and potential economic downturns, Daibiru's strategic pivot focuses on non-maritime revenues that can sustain profitability in challenging times. This dual focus on both financial resilience and environmental responsibility illustrates a forward-thinking approach to corporate operations in a changing global landscape.

Implementation of CO2-Free Power

The CO2-free electricity implemented by Daibiru utilizes non-fossil certificates and relies on renewable energy sources, implying a pivotal move away from traditional energy consumption practices. This transition has been comprehensive, covering a range of Daibiru’s landmarks, including the significant '135 King Street' office and commercial building located in Sydney's central business district.

Environmental Impact and Future Goals

By achieving this milestone, Daibiru not only complies with international environmental standards but also sets a benchmark for corporate sustainability in Japan and beyond. The initiative demonstrates Daibiru's commitment to tackling environmental challenges while staying ahead of market trends. The annual CO2 reduction achieved by this switch positions the company as a leader in its sector, paving the way for other businesses to follow in response to increasing demands for corporate social responsibility.

The company plans to continue evolving its technology and services in response to changing societal needs and environmental preservation. Daibiru envisions a robust and resilient corporate group that will provide growth on a global scale while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability.
