Examples of Mazda's service in the community Mazda Community Ekiden Hiroshima Flower Festival Special Facility Support Program Showing visitors around plants (Hiroshima head office, Hofu Plant, Miyoshi office) As a way of communicating with the local community, as well as offering opportunities for schools to learn about our work, the Hiroshima head office, as well as Hofu Plant, offers opportunities for people to visit their plants, while visits to the Miyoshi Proving Ground and Miyoshi Engine Plant are also possible. Support for sports / cultural activities(Hiroshima head office, Hofu Plant) As well as organizing the Mazda Community Ekiden (long-distance relay race), we also sponsor the Hiroshima Toyo Carp baseball team and the Sanfrecce Hiroshima soccer team, as well as offering support to people involved in both local sports activities and professional sports. Mazda also organizes the Mazda Invitation Youth Soccer Tournament in the Hofu Plant area. Supporting high school students' international exchange activities In 1984, Mazda established the Mazda / YFU Scholarship Program, in conjunction with Youth For Understanding (an international exchange foundation that allows exchange between high school students, with its head office in America), as part of its program of activities supporting international exchange. On 30th July 2004, a Mazda / YFU Scholarship Summer Activity program was held at Mazda's head office, and during FY 2004, a total of 10 scholarship students and 13 homestay families took part in these activities. Participants visited the Mazda Museum, as well as taking part in a 'dream car' drawing competition, and YFU High School Students' International Exchange meeting the president of Participation in regional events (Hiroshima Head Office, Hofu Plant, Miyoshi Office) We participate each year in the Hiroshima Flower Festival (near head office), the Hofu Tenmangu ‘Tenshinsai’ Festival (near the Hofu Plant) and the Miyoshi Kinsai Matsuri festival (near the Miyoshi Office), among other festivals. This involvement helps us to deepen our commitment to interface with the local communities. Participation in the Love Hofu Campaign (Hofu Plant) The 35 companies who have plants in Hofu began the Love Hofu Campaign in April 1993, with the intention of reviving the city, and offering service as good corporate citizens. The Love Hofu Campaign now has its office within the Administrative Division of the Hofu Plant. Cooperation with regional disaster prevention and response measures (Hiroshima head office) Mazda has a disaster prevention and response agreement with the community in which it is situated, so that in the event of a disaster, the company becomes involved in fire extinguishing activities, with Mazda's Safety group fire and emergency brigades being dispatched. We also take part in regional disaster response training activities. Examples of Community Service activities overseas Community service activities in the USA Community Service Program At MNAO, which is Mazda's North American sales and research base, we are implementing a community service program that supports various organizations in the Irvine area of California, where our head office is located. This program is funded by donations, and supports various aspects of citizens' lives, including the arts, culture, nature conservation, the environment, welfare and education, as well as supplying volunteers where needed. Mazda encourages its employees to become involved in volunteer activities through its MOVE (Mazda's Outreach Volunteer Effort) program, and staff members are allocated up to 16 hours each of paid leave for taking part in volunteer activities. Glossary: 1 Love Hofu Campaign The campaign originated from a group of companies and bussiness establishments in the city who wanted to cooperate to revitalize the city. One aspect of this involves the organization of a flea market which has now become the largest such event in Western Japan. Social & Environmental Report 2005
Activities as a Corporate Citizen Partnering with Society, Contributing to Society Support for children with diabetes More than 13,000 children are diagnosed each year with the most severe form of diabetes, insulin dependency. Research into these children's illnesses, along with various other forms of support, is funded by the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation). Mazda supports this foundation through cooperation with employees, family and friends, and encourages volunteer activities and donations through events such as the Walk to Cure Diabetes, a charity walk in which we have been taking part since 2000. Mazda cooperates by not only collecting funds through creative means for the months leading up to the Walk, but also supports the donation activities implemented each year for charity walks in Irvine, California, Somerset, New Jersey and Sugarland, Texas. Contributing to Society in Thailand Donation of writing materials to Thai children In May 2005 our Thai manufacturing subsidiary (AAT), in cooperation with the Mazda Worker's Union, donated writing implements and other supplies to two elementary schools in northeastern Thailand. Many AAT employees attended these schools, and the donation was made thanks to monetary donations at the end of the year by employees. The "One Mazda" is active at the global level in social contribution, too. Contributing to Society in Italy Support for scientific research into multiple sclerosis Charity Walk 'Walk to Cure Diabetes' Mazda Motor Italia, our sales company headquartered in Rome, became an official partner of AISM (Multiple Sclerosis Italian Association) in 2002. AISM, a non-profit organization, has supported research into multiple sclerosis (MS) for over 30 years, and provided aid and support for victims of the disease. At AISM events every year, Mazda offers test drives to visitors, contributing 8 Euros to AISM for every test drive. In the first year after becoming an official partner, Mazda donated over 200,000 Euros to AISM, the foundation and to support research. In 2004, AISM booths were erected at every stage of the "Giro d'Italia" bicycle race, and also held a charity auction of uniforms signed by players of the AS Roma professional soccer team, including Totti, Montella and Cassano. Community service activities in Australia Mazda Australia Pty., Ltd. is also involved in a wide range of community service activities in medical, educational and cultural fields. Medical Support We hold a casual day every 2nd Friday, when employees can come to work in casual clothes, in return for a donation to charity. The money collected in this way is donated to the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne for cancer research, and to other charities. Employees are also involved in supporting research into cancer prevention in various ways. Education / cultural activities Mazda offers opportunities to junior and senior high school students who would like short-term work experience (one or two weeks) as well as to university students who take internships for a year, and gives training relevant to the subjects that these students are taking. We also sponsor the arts, performing arts and sports. Contributing to Society in the U.K. Support for the "Neutral Ground" child contact center Mazda Motors UK Ltd and its employees contribute to help support Neutral Ground, a child support center based in Abbey Wood, Near London. Child contact centers provide a safe, neutral place for children from broken homes to meet their parents. The money raised by Mazda Motor UK and its employees has enabled the center to buy specialist toys for disabled children and also contribute significantly to the running costs. The last contribution came at a time when the future of the center was uncertain due to lack of funds and allowed the centre to remain open and continue to be a huge service to the local community.
