Reducing Environmental Burdens
In 2010, S.T. CORPORATION was
reaccredited with the Eco-Ship Mark
by the Maritime Bureau of Japan's
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure,
Transport and Tourism. Aiming to
raise public awareness of modal shift,
the Eco-Ship Mark System facilitates a modal shift to marine
transport by granting this certification to cargo owners and distributors
who have met or surpassed a required level of environment-
friendly marine transport utilization. S.T. CORPORATION
first received this certification in 2008 and the latest commendation
underlines its position as a company that contributes to
environment preservation activities. Spurred by this achievement,
S.T. CORPORATION will further promote modal shift, with
the aim of reducing environmental burdens.
