To promote the wellbeing of Yusen employees a global activity challenge is organized each year as part of our ESG social and environmental initiative. For example,  our employees across the world joined a month-long journey towards wellness.

Together, all our employees aimed to reach a staggering 500 million steps, with each step contributing to a greener planet.
