Activities as an automobile manufacturer
Environmental Management/Environmental Profection Activites
Environmental management system
As part of its commitment to environmental management, Mazda is
actively building and improving its environmental management
system. In FY 2000 all major production points both in Japan and
overseas were certified under ISO14001, followed by nine of our
major affiliates in FY 2002.
In FY 2003 the Head Office R&D Divisions were certified, and in FY
2004 the Mazda Parts Center and Mazda Training Center were added
to the scope of certification for the Hiroshima area. We are assisting
our parts and materials suppliers in acquiring ISO14001 certification,
and as of the end of FY 2004 95% of our suppliers have been
successful in their efforts. We are now investigating the possibility of
implementing our unique management system in uncertified smallscale
enterprises, Group companies and suppliers.
