Mazda's Basic Risk Management Policy

Risk Management Philosophy

The environment surrounding our corporate activities includes swiftly developing progress in IT, increasing globalization, worsening environmental problems and increasing levels of awareness of legal compliance issues. Our operating environment is changing rapidly and is expected to continue to change and diversify. To work toward achieving our corporate vision, we need to respond appropriately to these environmental changes, while at the same time ensuring the sustainability and soundness of all our corporate activities so as to minimize latent risks. When irregularities and emergencies do occur, we need to have a system in place to ensure that recovery is as swift as possible, in order to maintain the trust of our customers, shareholders and society in general. The Mazda Group is involved in risk management, working to remain a truly trusted corporation.
