In accordance with Japan Post Group Basic Sustainability Policy, Japan Post Group will promote business activities with consideration for climate change and environmental pollution in its efforts to achieve a sustainable society.

Recognizing the importance of initiatives for tackling climate change and global warming, making effective use of resources and reducing waste, we have set the Sustainability Committee as an advisory body to the Management Meeting.

Participation in the Green Partnership Conference
The Green Partnership Conference is hosted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism for the purpose of reducing CO2 emissions in the logistics field. Japan Post participates in this conference as a member. As a part of this conference, Japan Post was granted for the special award at the Green Partnership Conference for the use of their joint trunk transportation, "Super-Full Trailer". This initiative, utilizing "Super-Full Trailer" in cooperation with other logistics companies, was successful in creating a sustainable logistics system, as the project allowed a single truck to transport the cargo of two conventional trucks. This lead to a reduction in the number of vehicles in operation and a reduction in CO2 emissions.
