Mazda supports the local professional football team, baseball team, and orchestra in order to promote local sports and culture.
During FY2018, in addition to serving as the uniform sponsor for Sanfrecce Hiroshima, we also sponsored Sanfrecce Hiroshima Mazda Day during the match against F.C.TOKYO at Edion Stadium Hiroshima in September (management-employee cooperation program).
The first 7,000 arrivals were given towels/scarves featuring a collaborative design produced by Mazda and Sanfrecce Hiroshima, and a parade that included Mazda cars was held at half-time.

Mazda was once again a Hiroshima Toyo Carp uniform sponsor in FY2018, as it has been for many years.
Mazda also made a carbon offset of an estimated 118 tons of CO2 emissions for the lighting of night games at Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium Hiroshima (the Hiroshima Municipal Baseball Stadium for which Mazda acquired naming rights). The carbon offset credit was created by Hiroshima Prefecture through CO2 absorption by forests.
Mazda has supported this carbon offset initiative by Hiroshima Prefecture to "foster the forests of Hiroshima Prefecture to absorb CO2 emissions", and proposed its utilization at Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium Hiroshima through an agreement with Hiroshima Prefecture, Hiroshima City, and the Hiroshima Toyo Carp since FY2013.

In FY2018, Mazda hosted regular concert events in the lobby of the Mazda Head Office three times throughout the year, which were attended by a total of 904 people (including visitors from neighboring regions).
