Introducing Countermeasures and Conducting Training
Mazda's environmental risks arise from the diverse aspects of its operations - in manufacturing areas such as production processes and facilities through to products. We conduct environmental risk assessments to minimize risks and to prevent pollution and other incidents. While strengthening preventative strategies, we also conduct periodic emergency response training at our factories and offices to promote action against environmental risks.
Each plant and facility carries out its own monitoring and strategies for prevention of air pollution, water quality deterioration and pollution related to waste product processing.
