Mazda began publication of its Environmental Report in FY2001. This title was changed to the Social & Environmental Report in FY2004, and since then Mazda has gradually expanded the social aspects of the report.
This year we have renamed the report the Sustainability Report. This name reflects the report's strong focus on reporting to stakeholders and others regarding Mazda's corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts and the policies and approaches that underpin them.
The booklet is divided into two sections: the Storybook section, which deals with three high priority aspects of Mazda's CSR activities, and the Data section, which illustrates mainly information and data.
In order to make our Web site easy to navigate and the information it provides readily understandable, we have divided the site into four sections: "Corporate Social Responsibility," which is organized by stakeholder category; "Environmental Initiatives" and "Safety Initiatives," which revolve around our responsibilities as an automaker; and "Social Contribution Initiatives," which covers our continuing efforts in this area.
In addition, we are making efforts to report thoroughly on all aspects of required CSR and environmental guidelines by providing a wide range of examples, data, background information, and other relevant information.
Mazda is constantly working to improve its information disclosure and promote full and frank communication with its stakeholders. We hope you can better understand how Mazda is aiming to promote the sustainable growth of society through our Web site. Please feel free to share your candid opinions with us using the questionnaire form.
