Contribution to Society

Free provision of MS CO2 Navigator for logistics CO2 calculation

As a social contribution toward a decarbonized society, we offer the MS CO2 Navigator on our corporate website as a tool that allows customers to easily calculate CO2 emissions per unit of 1 transportation for free. By simply entering three pieces of information regarding transportation (weight, mode of transportation, and origin/destination), customers can immediately determine the amount of CO2 emissions and compare the results of calculations for each transportation mode. This tool handles not only domestic but also international transportation.
