Companywide education and at each department
As part of Mazda's Environmental Management System, we are implementing companywide environmental education, from new employees to management. We are providing continuing environmental education to employees in every operational department and striving to be thoroughly aware of the environment and cultivate a understanding of the Environmental Management System.
Moreover, we encourage and support our employees in acquiring public qualifications related to the environment, and we invite suggestions internally to improve our protection of the environment.

- e-i Proposal (system for suggesting ideas to improve the environment)
In FY2006, we solicited ideas for improving environmental preservation activities. One objective of this exercise was to emphasize environmental awareness among all employees.
We asked for ideas on activities that ranged broadly in scope-individual activities, Company operations and society as a whole. Although a rather straight-forward exercise, as the activity helped raise environmental awareness we plan to continue encouraging such proposals.
