In Japan, Otsuka Pharmaceutical said it will participate in the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) Promotion Project led by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The firm said its participation will be as a consignor of our U.S. pharmaceuticals shipments to Yusen Logistics Co., a cargo agent for this project. The project is operated by Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Through participation in the project, Otsuka aims to reduce CO2 emissions in the supply chain beyond our direct control, adding to the measures we have taken to reduce our own direct emissions and indirect emissions. “This will be the first time for an Otsuka group company to use SAF for transportation of products from Japan to other countries, as we strive for environmental impact reduction from a comprehensive perspective,” the firm said. The period for this project will run from August 5, 2024 until March 31, 2025. Yusen Logistics will issue a Greenhouse Gas emission reductions certificate to Otsuka through the “Yusen Book-and-Claim” service ultilizing SAF.
