FY2010 Targets	FY2010 Results
(1) Cleaner exhaust emissions
Japan: Meet the SU-LEV (★★★★) standard in the majority of Mazda's passenger vehicles.	Met the SU-LEV standard (★★★★) in 98.5% of passenger vehicles.
United States: Promote the introduction of low-emission vehicles that meet Tier2/LEV2 regulations.	All vehicles met the Tier2/LEV2 regulations.
Europe: Develop and launch new-generation clean-diesel vehicles.	Launched Mazda6 (Atenza), Mazda3 (Axela) and CX-7 with new diesel engines. Developed the SKYACTIV-D new-generation clean diesel engine, which clears Euro 6 standards without using expensive NOx aftertreatment.
(2) Improving fuel economy (CO₂ reductions)
Japan: Continue to meet the fuel economy standards for 2010 for all weight classes of passenger vehicles and promote further improvements in fuel economy.	The FY2010 fuel economy standards were met for all weight classes of passenger vehicles. In the new Premacy, fuel economy was improved through introduction of the i-stop system, etc.
United States: Meet the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations, which are expected to become stricter in the future.	CAFE regulations met. Achieved a 5% improvement compared with FY2009 in average corporate fuel economy.
Europe: Promote reduction of the corporate average CO₂ emissions.	Reduced average corporate CO₂ emissions. Installation of i-stop in the Mazda5 (Premacy), a 1.6L MZ-CD engine and other measures contributed to CO₂ emission reductions.
(3) Vehicle weight reduction
Achieve Mazda's voluntary target for vehicle weight.	In the new Mazda5 (Premacy), vehicle weight was reduced through adoption of high-tensile steel, etc. The changes also enhanced safety performance, specifically pedestrian and passenger protection. Lightweight body design (SKYACTIV-BODY) and chassis design (SKYACTIV-CHASSIS) were also developed.
(4) Vehicle noise reduction
Meet Mazda's voluntary standards for noise reduction, which are stricter than the latest noise regulations.	The vehicle noise reduction levels for all models met Mazda's voluntary standard figures.
(5) Development of alternative fuel vehicles
Develop and introduce more vehicles equipped with the hydrogen rotary engine.	Continued leasing the Premacy Hydrogen RE Hybrid in Japan.
Promote development of hybrid vehicles.	Promoted development of a hybrid vehicle utilizing the SKYACTIV-G engine, with the goal of introducing it in Japan in 2013.
Promote development of alternative fuel technologies such as biomass fuels and synthetic fuels.	Promoted development of technology enabling use of alternative fuels, such as biofuels and synthetic fuels, in overseas markets.
(6) Reduction in use of environmental substances of concern
Completely eliminate hexavalent chromium.	Maintained complete elimination.
Completely eliminate lead, mercury and cadmium, except for exempted parts.*1	Maintained complete elimination, except for exempted parts.
Reduce the amount of refrigerants used in car air conditioners: reduce the use of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) by 20% or more compared with FY1995 levels.	Achieved reductions in all models.
Promote development and application of new alternative car air-conditioner refrigerants less harmful than CFCs (HFC134a).	Promoted development of new car air-conditioner refrigerants featuring a minimal environmental burden.
(7) Reduction of amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in vehicle cabins
Meet indoor aerial concentration guideline values stipulated by the Japan Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in all new models.	Met guidelines in Demio, Atenza, Biante, Axela and Premacy models.
(8) Promoting vehicle recycling (in development)
Promote the development and use of bioplastics that have suitable appearance, strength, and heat resistance to be adopted for interior parts.	Promoted application of bioplastics in radiator tanks of mass-produced vehicles. Promoted joint development among industry, government, and academia of materials made from non-food-based biomass.
Develop state-of-the-art bumper recycling technology and promote the reuse of old bumpers as new vehicle parts.	Through Mazda's proprietary bumper-to-bumper technology, recycled bumpers were used as material in new Premacy (Mazda5) bumpers.
Promote the development of new vehicles that are easy to disassemble and recycle.	Improved ease-of-recycling for parts such as bumpers and instrument panels from the new Premacy (Mazda5).

*1Exempted parts: Lead solder, batteries, and free-cutting steel using lead; liquid-crystal displays, discharge headlamps and other parts that use mercury.

2. Corporate Activities to Conserve Resources and Energy
FY2010 Targets	FY2010 Results
(9) Reduction of waste substances
Eradicate all landfill waste from the four principal domestic facilities.	Maintained zero landfill waste from the four principal domestic facilities.
Reduce the consumption of packaging and wrapping materials by 40% or more from the FY1990 levels (initial target).	Reduced the volume of packaging and wrapping materials to 43.5% of the FY1990 level, and achieved the FY2010 target.
(10) Prevention of global warming
Reduce CO₂ emissions from the four principal domestic facilities by 20% or more from the FY1990 level.	Reduced the CO₂ emissions to 40.2% of the FY1990 level from the four principal domestic facilities.*2
Reduce CO₂ emissions in logistics operation (t-CO₂ per million ton-km) by 20% or more from FY1990 levels (initiall target).	Reduced the CO₂ emissions in the logistics operation (t-CO₂ per million ton-km) by 30.9% of the FY1990 levels, and achieved the FY2009 target.
(11) Vehicle recycling promotion
Promote further increases in the ASR recycling ratio and the total vehicle recycling ratio. ASR recycling ratio: Maintain at 80% or higher Actual vehicle-recycling ratio: Maintain at 95% or higher	ASR recycling ratio: 82%. Actual vehicle recycling ratio: 97%.
Collect damaged bumpers from Mazda dealerships in Japan at an annual rate of 80% or more (88,000 units per year).	82,491 bumpers were collected with a collection efficiency of 78% (adversely affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake).
