• Introduction of EVs

  In the transport process, we are actively promoting the replacement of vehicles with environmentally friendly vehicles tailored to the transport method.
  We have introduced EVs and environmentally-friendly vehicles (LPG vehicles, CNG (natural gas) vehicles, hybrid vehicles, etc.), and 96% of Yamato Transport’s pickup and delivery vehicles are environmentally-friendly.
  Regarding EVs, to achieve the short-term target for FY2030, we aim to introduce 23,500 units by promoting initiatives such as the introduction of small-sized, commercial-use BEV trucks and 2t EV trucks, and demonstrations for light EVs utilizing removable batteries.

  

• Utilization of renewable energy

  To achieve our short-term target for FY2030, we will increase the percentage of electricity used that was derived from renewable energy sources to 70% through power generation from our own solar power generation facilities and the procurement of electricity derived from renewable energy sources from external sources.

  

• Promotion of energy conservation

  As for energy conservation at our bases, Yamato Transport is promoting reductions in electricity consumption by switching to LED lighting in offices.
  LED bulbs are expected to reduce electricity consumption by about 85% compared to ordinary bulbs.

  

• Establishment of operation without using dry ice

  We will introduce transport materials that do not use dry ice to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve quality, and optimize costs.
  Regarding the transport equipment used between transport hubs, we will switch to mechanical cold boxes powered by electricity, which do not require dry ice.
  Regarding pickup and delivery vehicles, we are promoting the development and utilization of mobile on-board refrigeration units powered by electricity.
  We are also developing insulation and cold storage materials specifically for air containers used in Cool TA-Q-BIN air trunk line transportation.

  

Carbon footprint of the delivery services as of FY20241.101 kg CO₂e/parcel
(FY2021: 1.200kg CO₂e/parcel)

We introduced approximately 2,000 new EVs in FY2024.
In FY2021, EVs were used for approximately 190,000 km per year for pickup and delivery, but by FY2024, the annual use of EVs was approximately 28.35 million km, an approximately 149-fold increase.

We promoted the installation of solar power systems (on-site generation), selecting buildings where more efficient power generation can be expected.
The amount of renewable energy used from solar power systems (both self-generation and PPA) was approximately 1,100 MWh in FY2021, and it increased by approximately 8,600 MWh to approximately 9,700 MWh in FY2024.

We increased the use of electricity derived from renewable energy sources from 12% (61,381 MWh) in FY2021 to 56% (319,085 MWh) in FY2024.

As of March 2025, approximately 2,000 sales offices have completed the conversion to LED lighting.

The amount of dry ice used was reduced by approximately 1,000 tons, from 83,000 tons in FY2021 to 82,000 tons in FY2024.
Additionally, the amount of dry ice used for frozen Cool transport was reduced by approximately 12%, from 0.657 kg per parcel in FY2021 to 0.575 kg per parcel in FY2024.

For more details about GHG emission reductions

Regarding carbon credits, we have selected renewable energy projects that are highly relevant to our energy-intensive business.
All carbon credits, as well as all carbon credit projects that generated the applicable credits, are verified by the VCS（Verified Carbon Standard） or the GS (Gold Standard) and fall under the VER (Verified Emission Reduction) scheme.

Solar Power (India)
Harnessing solar energy for India’s sustainable development

『Adani Green Energy solar』

With ten grid-connected solar power plants across the Indian States of Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, this solar projects will prevent the emission of approximately 1.5 million tonnes of CO₂ per annum by generating renewable energy for India’s heavily fossil fuel-dominated electricity grid. The project activity improves local employment opportunities during the operation phase of the project with the project owner making a further commitment to work on improving the employment condition for the locals post-2025.

Wind Power (India)
Powering India’s transition to a low-carbon economy

『Andhra Lake Phase Ⅱ Wind』

Located in Pune District of Maharashtra, this project plans to establish a 113.6 MW wind farm in three phases. The project would installs 63 Enercon wind turbine generators to generate electrical power for export to India’s power grid. This project reduces harmful greenhouse gas emissions by as the majority of India’s energy is currently generated by fossil fuel-based power stations.

Hydro Power (Uganda)
Harnessing the hydro power for clean energy

『Bugoye Hydropower』

Situated at the foot of the Rwenzori Mountains in the Kasese District of Western Uganda, this project is designed to provide affordable renewable energy to local communities. It involves constructing a 13 MW capacity run-of-river hydro power plant. Furthermore, the electricity supplied to the grid is measured by a main meter and validated by the Ugandan Electricity Transmission Company (UETCL), ensuring transparency and reliability.

Landfill Gas Power (China)
Capturing and converting methane from landfill waste into renewable energy

『Sanya landfill gas recovery』

Located in Hainan Province of China, this project captures harmful methane emissions naturally released from the landfill site and turns them into a valuable source of electricity. This represents a small but important step for China to tackle the environmental challenges which it faces with its rapid development, e.g. increased energy demands, rising GHG emissions, and a growing mountain of waste.
