As an automobile manufacturer endorsing the aims of the Declaration of Biodiversity by Keidanren,* Mazda promotes initiatives to conserve biodiversity. In FY March 2012, the Company conducted an assessment of its impacts on biodiversity with the aim of systematically developing its initiatives to protect biodiversity. Through this assessment, the Company identified the significance of the impacts of our business activities and products on nature and on the environment. Following this assessment, the Company established Mazda Biodiversity Guidelines in December 2012, and since then has been implementing various initiatives through its business activities aiming at contributing to the preservation of biodiversity and creating an enriching, sustainable society that ensures harmony between people and nature. Based on the results of the aforementioned assessment of impacts, the Company takes measures to mitigate its impacts on biodiversity with a particular focus on energy, water, and other resources in the areas of products, technology, production, and logistics.
