SUZUKI MOTOR CORPORATION
OTHER TOPICS
Environment
As a general manufacturer of automobiles, motorcycles, outboard
motors, etc., Suzuki is addressing environmental conservation at all
stages—from development to disposal.
In our design and development, in addition to conventional demands
for enhanced safety, greater reliability and more comfort, etc., Suzuki
has been developing multi-faced and highly advanced technologies to
respond to environmental demands for enhancing fuel efficiency,
reducing exhaust gas emissions, noise reduction, saving of consumed
resources, and recycling enhancement.
In our manufacturing and purchasing, corporate measures include
reducing energy consumption (reduced CO2 emissions), reducing
landfill wastes (enhancement of yield, recycling), careful managing of
chemical substances, and promoting green procurement.
In our marketing, in addition to promoting proper treatment of used
products and components, we are providing our sales network with
dismantling manuals, and other information, which can be useful in such
operations.
In our distribution and office work, we are also focusing on reducing
energy consumption, cutting down on consumed resources, recycling,
and promoting green purchasing.
In our social contribution work, we are promoting environmental
conservation through a variety of projects which include participating in
environment-cleanup activities, cooperating with lake water purification,
making presentations at environment-related exhibitions, gaining
certification for forest management, etc.
• 2005 Topics
We published the “Suzuki 2005 Environmental and Social Report”.
Suzuki has annually published an environmental report since fiscal 1999
to provide information on all activities related to the environment. The
2005 edition, which is the 7th edition issued, is the first to utilize CD-
ROM for the data section in order to reduce paper consumption. In
contributing to local environments, we carry out regular cleanup
activities around our facilities.
In cooperating with forest conservation, a plot of land on loan from
the national government was given the name “Forest of Suzuki”, and
planted with trees.
