Ocean Network Express and Yusen Logistics Advance Sustainable Shipping Solutions with ONE LEAF+

Singapore, February 18, 2025 – Ocean Network Express (“ONE”) and Yusen Logistics Co., Ltd (“Yusen Logistics”) are pleased to announce a new agreement for sustainable shipping solutions through ONE's green shipping service, ONE LEAF+. 

This collaboration demonstrates how the industry can advance sustainable supply chain practices and marine transportation to deliver environmental benefits. Under this agreement, ONE will use sustainable biofuels for propulsion, achieving up to 84% reduction in well-to-wake CO2 emissions compared to Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil (VLSFO). As a freight forwarder, Yusen Logistics will offer this green shipping option to customers, enabling them to simultaneously reduce their Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. 

Says Gilberto Santos, Senior Vice President, Global Commercial and Service Management, ONE, “This collaboration with Yusen Logistics represents an important step in expanding the availability of green shipping solutions in Asia. Through ONE LEAF+, we are offering customers the flexibility  to reduce their supply chain emissions while maintaining the reliability they expect from ONE. Together, we are advancing our shared commitment to sustainable shipping and supporting the industry's decarbonization goals.”

Says Kohei Omura, Head of Ocean Freight Forwarding Group, Yusen Logistics, “We are very pleased to sign an agreement with ONE as the first logistics company in Asia and aim to build a more sustainable future through the provision of eco-friendly shipping solutions together. By utilizing ONE LEAF+, we are proud to offer our customers more sustainable choices and contribute to the reduction of GHG emissions.”

ONE LEAF+ (Low Emission-Able Freight) offers customers the opportunity to proactively manage their own emissions and minimise environmental impact across the value chain. The service currently uses UCOME (Used Cooking Oil Methyl Ester), a non-toxic and biodegradable biofuel derived from food production. Customers can choose flexible CO2e savings from approximately 10-80% and receive independently verified emissions reduction certificates to track their environmental impact. 

ONE aims to be a sustainable, resilient and trusted global shipping partner.  ONE continues to implement its Green Strategy and Decarbonisation Roadmap to drive immediate action while developing long-term solutions. From improving operational and fleet fuel efficiencies through vessel modifications, to investing in emerging propulsion technologies, more information on ONE's sustainability initiatives is available in our Sustainability Reports.
