Offices and dealerships have a smaller environmental impact than production facilities. Nevertheless, Mazda works to raise awareness and disclose information as part of its efforts to encourage a proactive approach to environmental preservation. We are introducing specific distributor-oriented guidance and management systems to achieve this goal.
Promoting Reduced Paper Use, Recycling and Energy Conservation
Mazda strives to reduce the amount of paper it uses in its offices by encouraging the use of electronic - rather than paper-based - documents and financial ledgers.
We are also expanding recycling through measures such as turning used paper (paper shredder dust) into cushioning materials for parts transportation, and recycling as much as is feasible through the strict separation of waste paper.
Offices also strive to reduce their energy consumption. For example, we purchase energy-efficient office equipment and fixtures, turn off lights and personal computers when not needed and work continuously to reduce idle time.
Osaka Branch, Where Each Employee Actively Recycles
Careful separation and disposal of waste
Since 2005, the Osaka Branch has been separating waste, and what started out as a 70% recycling ratio was increased to 84.3% in FY2006.
Waste separation information is displayed on waste bins, as well as being posted on the Intranet, so employees can correctly separate and dispose of waste. In addition, the monthly gross weights of waste and recycling ratios are also posted on the Intranet so employees can get a more tangible feeling of their achievements in recycling.
