MAZDA:CO2 reduction | Initiatives in Manufacturing

Mazda is working to promote efficient utilization of energy and reduce the volume of CO₂ emitted in all aspects of its production and distribution operations.

The Mazda Green Plan 2010 targets a 20% or more reduction in total CO₂ emissions volume from Mazda's four principal domestic plants*1 (including R&D and other indirect areas) by FY2010 as compared with FY1990 levels, despite increased production levels.

Promotion of Monotsukuri Innovation*2
Improvements in overall facility operating efficiency
Concentrating production and reducing losses from unnecessary work and equipment downtime

Total CO₂ emissions volume from Mazda's four principal domestic plants reduced by 40.2% (609,000 tons - CO₂)
Emissions per unit of sales revenue reduced by 24.9% (34.3 t-CO₂)
