Environmental Auditing To verify that our environmental management system is functioning effectively, two annual audits are held each for the Hiroshima area, the Hofu Plant and the R&D Division; one internal and one by a third-party organization. Internal auditors are selected primarily from among middle management, who have received training from external auditing organizations and been certified as having achieved the necessary level of qualification. The FY 2004 internal audit resulted in 62 citations for minor problems and 112 observations. The external audit, by an external ISO 14001 accreditation organization, resulted in no major or minor citations and only seven observations. All citations and observations were reported to management and dealt with promptly.

Mazda is committed to minimizing these risks, through implementing environmental risk assessments and taking preventative measures to protect against pollution and environmental incidents. In addition to this, we implement training for accident and emergency situations to maintain our response capacity in regard to environmental risks. Mazda implements periodic monitoring in regard to air pollution, water quality deterioration and pollution related to waste product processing. Each of our plants and business premises implements appropriate countermeasures and working hard towards prevention. Again in FY 2004, Mazda experienced no environmental accidents or incidents that could lead to environmental pollution, and recorded no incidents of legal or regulatory contravention. We received a total of one complaint regarding environmental matters (for dust), which was addressed promptly. The related equipment was immediately inspected and operational stance evaluated, showing no abnormalities, but we tightened operational management policies.
