Yusen Logistics Publishes Sustainability Report 2026
The report outlines progress on environmental, social and governance priorities and new disclosures on emissions and human rights.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Transportation
Yusen Logistics has published its Sustainability Report 2026, titled 'SUSTAINABILITY IN PRACTICE', detailing its progress across environmental, social and governance priorities. The report explains how the company is translating its sustainability commitments into action.
Why it matters
The report expands the scope of the company's emissions reporting and discloses air pollutants beyond greenhouse gases for the first time. It also reflects near-term greenhouse gas reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.
The report's Scope 3 emissions data now covers land transportation in addition to international freight forwarding, a broader boundary than prior reporting. Specific emissions totals and reduction percentages were not included in the source extraction.
The players
Yusen Logistics
Yusen Logistics is a global logistics and freight forwarding company that publishes sustainability reporting on its environmental, social and governance performance.
The details
Yusen Logistics Group has near-term greenhouse gas reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The report is the company's first to disclose data on air pollutants other than greenhouse gases, and the Yusen Logistics Human Rights Policy, released in December 2025, is also referenced.
Timeline
December 2025: Yusen Logistics released its Human Rights Policy.
November 4, 2026: Sustainability Report 2026 was published.
Market Landscape
Yusen Logistics' validated targets under the Science Based Targets initiative place it within a formal global framework that many logistics firms now use to benchmark decarbonization claims. Extending Scope 3 coverage to land transportation aligns the company's reporting with the freight-forwarding boundary that industry peers face in their own disclosures.
Shippers and customers who work with Yusen Logistics may see more detailed emissions information covering land transportation as well as freight forwarding. The added air pollutant disclosures give customers more data to weigh when assessing the environmental footprint of their supply chains.
The takeaway
Companies in freight and logistics are increasingly expected to disclose emissions across their full operations, not only their core activities. Customers evaluating logistics providers can look for validated targets and broader reporting boundaries when comparing sustainability claims.
