Introduction Special Topics Corporate Philosophy and CSR Environmental Responsibility Social Responsibility Data 04 Efforts at Offices SUZUKI CSR REPORT 2011 04 Efforts at Offices ■Promotion of Energy Saving and CO2 Reduction We determined the Standard of Employee Behavior in fiscal 2008, and all of our employees get together and are now promoting energy saving at offices and reduction of CO2 emissions. In addition, we put the progress of each activity in relation to the Standard of Employee Behavior on the internal homepage so that individual employee can check the result of their activities. As a result of those energy-saving and CO2 reduction activities, the amount of CO2 emission per employee decreased by 3.7% in average from the previous year for three consecutive years from fiscal 2008 to 2010. Details about those activities are as follows: ■Promotion of Eco-Driving 1Eco-drive education for employees Previously, we provided eco-drive education as a part of environmental education. In fiscal 2009, we started a special seminar focusing on eco-drive at the headquarters and each plant/office. This seminar has been attended by 1,157 persons so far, and it has brought about an effect of improvement in fuel efficiency of in-house cars by 0.8 km/L. 1Standard of Employee Behavior We have established Standard of Employee Behavior (for In-house Cost Cutting Activities), which covers a wide range of activities, for the purpose of promoting energy saving and CO2 reduction by individual employees. [Standard of Behavior for In-house Cost Cutting Activities (Excerpt)] 1Follow the predetermined temperature settings of air conditioner (cooling at 28°C and warming at 20°C). 2Turn off unnecessary electric lights 3Save electricity of electric appliances. 4Implement eco-drive. 5Computerize documentary forms and minimize printout of electronic data. 2Promotion of eco-driving by customers We prepared a leaflet "Easy Eco-Drive Technique" to allow our customers to understand eco-driving and drive their cars in an environmental-friendly and economical manner. This leaflet describes 10 points in relation to eco-driving using illustrations and examples in an easy-to-understand manner. This leaflet is distributed to Suzuki sales dealers all over Japan and utilized for promotion of eco-driving. The contents described in this leaflet are also available from our homepage. http://www.suzuki.co.jp/car/carlife/ecodrive/index.html 2Visualization of various activities in relation to the Standard of Employee Behavior To allow individual employees to check the effect of energy saving activities, we put the following information in our internal homepage: changes in electric consumption at each of major offices and plant buildings, consumption of printing paper, and the progress of each activity specified in the Standard of Behavior. T o p i c s Participation in Light-Down Campaign 49 domestic sales dealers (including dealers that participated as different bodies) participated in and cooperated with "Light-down Campaign" sponsored by the Ministry of Environment on June 21 and July 7, 2010. This event was implemented to "feel how much lighting we use during daily life where we are used to lighting up and think over global warming problems by turning off the light." Suzuki sales dealers cooperated and enlightened the purpose of this event by lighting down external illumination (installed to the sign pole, company name signboard, and outer-wall signboard). In addition, Suzuki Motor Sales Kagawa and Suzuki Motor Sales Kochi also participated and cooperated in the lighting-down event of "Moon Night SHIKOKU" sponsored by four prefectural governments in Shikoku area on September 22, 2010.

Introduction Special Topics Corporate Philosophy and CSR Environmental Responsibility Social Responsibility Data 01 Efforts for Development SUZUKI CSR REPORT 2011 Promoting the Three Rs (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) Promoting resource recycling through Reduce, Reuse, and Recycling activities in all areas of products, manufacturing, distribution, etc. to effectively use limited resources Suzuki believes that it is important to effectively utilize limited resources in order to pass on to the next generation a bountiful society. We are trying to promote recycling of resources through our business activities by carefully considering "Reducing" (reducing weight of parts and improving yield to reduce consumption of raw materials), "Reusing" (using rebuilt parts made of used parts as it is again for supply), and "Recycling" (collecting and using unnecessary items as raw materials for another product). 01 Efforts for Development Automobiles ■Reducing Among 3Rs, the first priority should be “Reducing (reduction the amount of wastes)”. Under the policy of making parts Smaller, Fewer, Lighter, Shorter, and Neater, Suzuki is promoting reduction of wastes by thoroughly reducing weight and materials to be used. For example, the front bumper of LAPIN has been slimmed through reduction of the wall thickness of bumper body and perforation of the license plate and radiator grill fitting parts of bumper body. Efforts for Reducing (example: front bumper of LAPIN) Perforation of the radiator grill fitting part Reduction of bumper body thickness Major Components Using Recyclable Resinous Materials (Example: Exterior components of MR Wagon) Headlamp Grille Cowl Top Garnish Bumper Door Mirror Door Handle Fender Lining Rear Combination Lamp Back Door Garnish Perforation of license plate fitting part ■Recyclable design Recyclable vehicle design is an important factor to allow for easy recycling of end-of-life vehicles. To produce environmentally-friendly vehicles, Suzuki uses easy-torecycle materials in exterior and interior resinous parts. Use of Easily Recyclable Resinous Materials Plastic is roughly divided into two types: “Thermoset resin”* 1 and “Thermoplastic resin”* 2 . By applying the thermoplastic resin to almost all plastic parts, Suzuki is promoting environmentallyfriendly vehicle manufacturing. Wheel Cap Back Door Handle Bumper 1 Thermoset resin * This type of resin material will not be softened or melted by reheating after being hardened by heat or pressure. It is like a bisket or ceramic. * 2 Thermoplastic resin: Even after being formed, this type of resin material can be softened or melted by reheating and will be solidified by cooling. It is reusable through repetitive melting and solidifying. It is like a chocolate and candy. ● 37 ●
