Reinforcing Our System While Taking our Entire Supply Chain into Account
With our focus on the entire supply chain, Mazda strengthened its efforts in FY2005 to not only reduce our environmental impact but to concentrate on reducing the risk of an environmental accident occurring.
Under the management system shown on the right, Mazda, together with our Group companies, is actively working to protect the environment as One Mazda in each area of our business: from R&D, production, purchasing, sales and servicing, through to recycling.
Environmental Management System
To boost the environmental protection efforts of our Group and reduce our impact on the environment, we are actively promoting acquisition of the Environmental Management System (EMS) ISO14001 international certification at our factories, facilities and subsidiaries. In FY2000, we acquired ISO14001 certification at our six major domestic and international production sites. In FY2001, six of our domestic production and business logistics consolidated subsidiaries also acquired certification. Our Head Office R&D department was certified in FY2003. In FY2004, the Mazda Parts Center and the Mazda Education Center were added to the scope of certification in the Hiroshima district. In FY2006, we added the Mazda Taibi Training Center. Mazda is also encouraging the introduction of EMS into its offices and dealerships (Please see page 'Offices and Dealerships' for details.).
Mazda has traditionally encouraged our components and resources suppliers to acquire the ISO14001 certification and by the end of FY2006 our major long-term suppliers had become certified. From now on, we will also support EMS introduction at our established local small-scale suppliers.
