Efforts to Help Prevent Global Warming To help protect the global environment, Mazda is working to minimize CO2 emissions and reduce energy consumption in every phase of our activities, from production to distribution. Saving energy in production Mazda is reducing energy consumption, working to achieve selfimposed CO2 emission reduction targets for production (nonconsolidated) of 5% from FY1990 levels by the end of FY 2005, and 10% by the end of FY 2010. In FY 2004 we adopted new production technologies (see pages 43-44), integrated production lines, reviewed losses through TPM activities, and reduced line operating times through improvement activities, to name a few. We are also converting to natural gas fuel, which is expected to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. Conversion to LNG fuel Natural gas has the lowest CO2 emissions per thermal unit of any of the fossil fuels, and Mazda is aggressively switching from existing heavy oil and LPG fuels to liquid natural gas (LNG). The Head Office plant completed the changeover in December 2000, followed by the Hofu Plant in 2004. Mazda will continue to expand its use of LNG to further reduce CO2 emissions.

In February 2005 The Energy Conservation Center of Japan presented the Nakanoseki Area of the Hofu Plant with the Director-General of the Agency of Natural Resources and Energy Award for excellence in factory energy management, in the thermal energy category. The award recognized a 1 percent year-on-year reduction in the basic energy consumption unit for the last three years. Employees in the Nakanoseki Area participate in TPM activities to improve the workplace, and actively participate in lectures, training sessions and certification programs related to energy management. Glossary: 1 Basic energy consumption unit A basic unit used for calculating energy efficiency. At Mazda it is equivalent to the amount of energy required to produce one vehicle. Social & Environmental Report 2005 Glossary 2 GJ (gigaJoule) A joule is an international unit of heat. One giga joule is equivalent to 4,186,050 kcal.
Activities as an automobile manufacturer Environmental Management/Environmental Profection Activites Saving energy in logistics Mazda is working to accurately monitor CO2 emissions in logistics and distribution, and reducing them by improved efficiencies, switching to alternate transport modes and other measures. Total CO2 emissions in the logistics sector reached 5,631 tons in fiscal 2004. Reduced in-house deliveries Mazda began full-fledged introduction of the Mazda Milk-Run System (MRS) in fiscal 2003, and has been steadily decreasing the number of trucks used for parts transport. Improvements to the MRS system reduced CO2 emissions in fiscal 2004 by 2,681 tons. Additional improvements in loading efficiency and shared transport of finished vehicles reduced emissions by an additional 143 tons. Utilization of sea transport Nakanoseki Port Taking advantage of its location on the Seto Inland Sea, Mazda began its modal shift toward sea transport quite some time ago. Today about 80% of all vehicles are transported by sea, and 92% of all vehicles bound for the domestic market. In fiscal 2004 we expanded the feeder routes throughout Asia and took other measures to shorten transport distances for export parts, as well as minimizing truck use to ports, reducing CO2 emissions by 2,807 tons.

At the end of FY 2004 we operated 166 electric forklifts, representing 24% of the total. From FY 2003 we have also begun introducing towing tractors instead of forklifts at parts centers handling customer parts and other distribution operations, further slashing CO2 emissions. Glossary: 3 Glossary 4 Modal shift MRS (Mazda Milk-Run System) In an effort to reduce the amount of CO2 emissions from logistics, we are shifting the mode of transportation to large-volume transport methods such as ships and trains, which have lower The term milk-run is used to refer to a single truck which cycles around multiple suppliers collecting freight. The name is derived from the milk runs of farmers collecting milk from their dairy cows throughout the pasture. Social & Environmental Report 2005
