in-house standards to improve our environmental performance and prevent pollution.

reducing waste, encouraging material recycling, and particularly by minimizing emissions of
greenhouse gases, ozone-depleting substances, and toxic matter.

when ordering and purchasing necessary resources, such as vessels and aircraft, for
transportation services and cargo operations.

4. Small steps for improvement
There are about 60
thousand reports
annually through Near
Miss 3000.
Each case is a small
step for improvement
provided that it is not
repeated any more. To
eliminate the danger of
an accident we have to
spread the information
on the DEVIL hunted.
