BERLIN - Nov. 21, 2023 - PRLog -- Nippon Express Europe GmbH (hereafter "NX Europe"), a group company of the global Japanese logistics service provider, NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC., is set to realize the achievement of its sustainability goals in collaboration with the Climate Tech startup, Cozero, based in Berlin.

In NX Group's pursuit of reducing its CO₂ emissions by 50 percent by 2030 as compared to 2013(Scope1,2), the parent company, NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, Inc., submitted a letter of commitment to obtain Science Based Targets (SBT) certification in May 2023.
