Suzuyo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shimizu-ku, Shizuoka City; President: Kenichiro Suzuki) has been selected as a 'FY2025 Ecoship Mark Excellent Business' by the Ecoship Modal Shift Business Selection Committee, composed of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and academic experts.
This certification targets businesses that actively implement modal shifts contributing to environmental load reduction and logistics efficiency, achieving significant results.

### Certified for Two Projects with Significant CO2 Reduction
Through the promotion of modal shifts in coordination with customers, Suzuyo received the Excellent Business certification for two projects. Notably, in a project transporting goods between Kagoshima and Chiba using RORO ships on the Oita Port-Tokyo Port route (previously land-based), the maritime transport ratio for the section reached 100%. This resulted in a reduction of approximately 196 tons of CO2 emissions (a 65.6% decrease from the previous year), significantly contributing to environmental load reduction.
This initiative not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also proves effective in reducing driver burden in long-distance transport and stabilizing logistics.
### Aiming for Sustainable Logistics in the Future
The logistics industry faces emerging challenges such as the '2024 problem,' including labor shortages and long working hours. In this context, modal shifts utilizing ferries and RORO ships are gaining renewed attention as a means to balance environmental reduction with logistics sustainability.
Suzuyo Group, including Suzuyo Co., Ltd., has actively promoted modal shifts and has received Ecoship Mark certification 12 consecutive times since FY2013.
