representatives shake hands
Mazda has a standing labor agreement with the Mazda Workers' Union. Through collective bargaining and the Labor Management Council, we cooperate on issues including employment stability, the maintenance and improvement of working conditions, and safety and health. We also have a shared outlook on the direction of our business operations and aim to build relationships in which everyone thinks and works together to contribute to all stakeholders.
On September 30, 2001, we adopted the Mazda 21st Century Labor-Management Joint Declaration, which states that within a climate of increasing global competition, and faced with social demand for ever higher safety and environmental standards, Mazda is committed to achieving its corporate vision and fulfilling its role as a member of society, through respecting all people and understanding that every person is key to the changes required to become a strong and vibrant group organization. We will continue to build good relationships and to deepen mutual understanding and trust.
