Topic1
Achieving sustainable logistics operations through harmony between people and technology
With the declining birthrate, aging population, expanding e-commerce demand, and chronic labor shortages, securing and retaining human resources for warehouse operations has become a more critical management priority than ever before for the logistics industry.
While labor-saving automation is being promoted to address these challenges, there are various hurdles to automating all operations.
NIPPON EXPRESS CO., LTD. is advancing the development of an environment where everyone can work authentically and vibrantly, based on the belief that a new approach to warehousing is needed—one where people remain central while technology supports them.
The " NX Universal Harmonious Work Warehouse" project, one of the sustainable solutions promoted by the company, aims to achieve sustainable logistics operations by combining technology that reduces workload with the creation of workplace environments that embrace diversity, addressing social challenges such as labor shortages and the active participation of diverse human resources.
Topic2
Development and Expansion of Sustainable Solutions in the Construction Industry
Over the past year, sustainable solutions have contributed to solving customer challenges such as labor shortages, productivity improvement and reducing environmental impact, and have progressed as initiatives leading to NX Group’s business growth and higher ROE. NIPPON EXPRESS CO., LTD. has been strengthening its sales structure for the construction industry with the establishment of the General Construction Sales Division in FY2025, and is also expanding solution development and provision to address industry challenges, in addition to the construction-by-product collection system disclosed in the Integrated Report 2025 from last year.
Specifically, we are advancing the development of “construction logistics” underpinning the joint distribution of materials and delivery/sharing at high-rise construction sites, including tower condominiums. Through this, we are contributing to solving the management challenges faced by our customers, such as labor shortages, improved productivity at sites and reducing environmental impact, and expanding our solutions from individual proposals to a broader rollout across the entire industry.
Furthermore, in the growing field of data center construction, we have started providing logistics schemes that cover transportation, storage, assembly, delivery, and maintenance as a one-stop service, with the aim of shortening construction times and help ensure stable operations, thereby expanding new business opportunities and strengthening our earnings base.
Through such initiatives, we are aiming to differentiate the value we offer, enhance profitability, and contribute to improving our ROE.
