Social Contribution Activities at Suzuki’s Domestic Plants

Kosai Plant

Voluntary cleanup activities on roads around the Kosai Plant

As part of environmental conservation, we perform cleanup activities on roads around the plant twice a year together with supplier companies located in the plant site (approximately 80 people in total).In addition, to raise environmental awareness, we also made appeals to employees and suppliers to promote no littering and traffic safety.

Traffic safety guidance around the Kosai Plant

We conduct traffic safety guidance at crossings on employees’ commuting roads and around the plant, aiming to promote seatbelt use and improve traffic manners and prevent traffic accidents mainly at intersections.
In FY2025, a total of 600 employees participated in this activity on streets and cooperated to build a safe and comfortable town.

Efforts for traffic safety

New employees assigned to the Kosai Plant undergo in-house training, safety training at driving schools, and on-the-road lessons to ensure they comply with traffic laws and manners and set an example for the local community.

Field trips

In FY2025, we conducted tours for 3,763 students from 56 elementary schools at Suzuki Kosai Plant.
Tours start with an overview of the plant, and then we explain the various processes while students observe them beside the work lines.
Students on their first plant tours observed processes with deep interest.

Acceptance of workplace tours

We accept workplace tours, principally involving high school students, to help deepen the participants' understanding of automobile manufacturing and create new fans of Suzuki.
A total of 147 students from 34 schools visited the Kosai Plant and learned about the manufacturing industry through factory tours and other activities, helping students better understand manufacturing careers and make informed career choices.

Participation in local events

We participated in the 25th Science Experience for Youth, which was held on December 13, 2025. Companies in Kosai City gathered together in the Main Arena of Kosai Amenity Plaza.
At the Suzuki Kosai Plant, we offered participants the opportunity to make pencil cases. Customers, mostly children, visited the Suzuki booth and enjoyed the process of making things with their families.

Iwata Plant

Voluntary cleanup around the plant

For the purpose of beautifying the surrounding areas of the plant, we perform cleanup activities called the “Cleaning Campaign” by picking up trash around the plant once a month.

Efforts for traffic safety

To promote safe driving practices among employees and prevent traffic accidents, we regularly conduct roadside traffic safety guidance activities around the plant.
We also reconfirm that new employees who have joined the Iwata Plant comply with traffic laws, regulations, and manners, and conduct safety education and on-road training at driving schools in addition to driver checks (driving aptitude evaluations) so that, as automobile manufacturing employees, they can serve as role models to people in the local community.

Opinion exchanges with local residents

We hold information exchange meetings about Suzuki’s business details and the environmental efforts of the Iwata Plant to communicate and build friendly relationships with local residents.

Field trips

We conduct in-person field trips for local elementary school students. We also conduct online social studies field trips connecting schools and plants, and online Q&A sessions connecting the Suzuki Plaza and plants.
In FY2025, at the Iwata Plant, we conducted in-person social studies field trips for 449 students from ten schools and online social studies field trips for 3,289 students from 51 schools, providing children with firsthand insights into manufacturing to a total of 3,738 children from 61 schools.

Participating in Okegayanuma nature conservation activities

We are committed to efforts to contribute to the communities in which we are deeply rooted, and coordinated with natural preservation groups to participate in nature conservation activities in Okegayanuma.

Sagara Plant

Voluntary cleanup around the plant

At our Sagara Plant, we regard co-existence with the local community as an important mission and actively engage in environmental conservation activities.
As part of these efforts, we conduct cleanup activities around the plant four times a year in collaboration with the Sagara test course and affiliated companies inside the Sagara office. In FY2025 (April-March), a total of 117 people participated.
In particular, incorporating weeding into the cleanup activities in FY2022 made it easier to find and collect litter that had previously remained hidden beneath vegetation. This has resulted in a reduction in the amount of litter collected. Excluding grass and other vegetation, the average amount of litter collected decreased from 49.1 kg per cleanup in FY2022 to 39.5 kg in FY2025.
We will continue these cleanup activities and work together with the local community to contribute to creating a better environment.

Received the Excellent Worker Award from the Shizuoka Industrial Waste Association

An employee at the Sagara Plant, which is a large-volume generator of industrial waste, received the Excellent Worker Award from the Shizuoka Environmental and Industrial Waste Association. This award recognized the employee’s many years of dedication to industrial waste management duties, including managing industrial waste storage areas, preparing and concluding outsourcing agreements, and managing industrial waste manifests, as well as to training and mentoring junior employees, thereby contributing to the proper treatment of industrial waste.

Joint drills for external oil leaks

Previously, emergency response drills at the site were conducted by individual departments and focused on measures to prevent leaks. However, with the aim of establishing a more comprehensive crisis management system, since FY2024, we have conducted site-wide leak response drills envisaging an external leak.
In this drill, we assumed a serious incident involving a leak into a stormwater management reservoir or river and examined in detail the entire series of procedures, from the initial response through containment. As a result, specific issues relating to response procedures and equipment were identified.
Based on these findings, we are promptly implementing corrective measures to establish a more effective system for preventing environmental pollution. We will continue conducting drills based on a wide range of possible scenarios and make every effort to ensure the safety of the local environment.

Opinion exchanges with local residents

Opinion exchange meetings are held to provide information on topics such as Suzuki’s business activities and environmental efforts to local residents, and to listen to their opinions. In February 2026, we conducted an opinion exchange meeting and plant tour with members of the local community association and Makinohara City Hall.

Field trips

We provide social studies field trips for elementary school students. In FY2025, 4,334 students from 82 schools visited the Sagara Plant.
By observing production operations and various innovations up close from alongside the production line, the students learned about the vehicle manufacturing process and experienced firsthand the appeal of the automotive industry. Through these activities, we contribute to nurturing future manufacturing talent.

Participating in the Welcome Home Project sponsored by Makinohara City

To ensure that children who grow up in Makinohara City can contribute to the future of their hometown, the Sagara Plant is also participating in a project to support local employment in collaboration with local companies, supporting financial institutions, and the city. The plant undertakes a variety of activities as part of this project.
In addition to holding company information sessions, internships, and job shadowing programs, in FY2025, we set up interactive booths at the Sagara High School Cultural Festival and the Makinohara City Industrial Fair, giving many visitors the opportunity to experience the enjoyment and appeal of Monozukuri.

Efforts for traffic safety

We conduct roadside traffic safety guidance activities around the plant during national (prefectural) traffic safety campaign periods. We also conduct driving checks covering rules and manners when employees leave work, including whether they come to a complete stop within the plant premises. We also provide hands-on training to employees using VR equipment, as well as training using dashcam and accident videos, to raise awareness of safe driving. In addition, new employees undergo safe driving training at a driving school every year. We also conduct skills training such as back-up training, on-road driving, and hazard prediction drills, as well as driving aptitude tests. We hope to prevent accidents among young people, who have higher incident rates.

Hamamatsu Plant

Sidewalk cleanup activities around the plant

In September, we cut the grass and pruned trees around the plant.
We continue to conduct these activities regularly to maintain and beautify the local environment.
During the cleanup activities, we also engage in a greeting campaign with local residents as part of our efforts to build good relationships with the local community.

Efforts for traffic safety

We provide training to new employees who joined the Hamamatsu Plant in April and young employees to remind them of their obligation to comply with traffic laws and proper etiquette. In order to make sure that our employees serve as models for other workers in the automobile manufacturing industry, we had them undergo safety training at driving schools and on-road driving lessons.
We also hold safe driving classes for young people provided by the Hosoe Police Station Traffic Section, aiming to increase awareness of safe driving.

Participation in Roadside Traffic Safety Activities with the Local Safe Driving Management Association

We participated in roadside traffic safety activities organized by the Hosoe District Safe Driving Management Association, promoting traffic safety and encouraging safe driving among motorists for the benefit of students commuting to school and local residents.

Interaction with the local community

We held the Hamamatsu Plant Autumn Festival on October 4, 2025.
A total of 2,843 people, including local residents, attended the festival, helping to promote deeper interaction with the local community.

Plant field trips for nearby elementary schools

From September to December 2025, we conducted plant tours for 1,029 students from 10 nearby elementary schools.
By touring an actual manufacturing site and sitting on a real motorcycle, the elementary school students were able to deepen their understanding of manufacturing, while we fostered closer ties with children in the local community. We later received feedback from the students, who said things like “it was so cool” and “I learned a lot.” This demonstrated the effectiveness of the initiative and was also very motivating for our employees in carrying out future activities.

Online Social Studies Program Linking Suzuki Plaza and the Hamamatsu Plant

We conducted an online social studies program for elementary school students in Hamamatsu City, linking Suzuki Plaza and the Hamamatsu Plant.
Through this program, 3,827 children from 42 schools were given firsthand insights into the manufacturing workplace at the Hamamatsu Plant. Many curious elementary school students asked a variety of questions, leading to lively interactions.

Osuka Plant

Voluntary cleanup around the plant

We periodically conduct cleanup activities with the aim of beautifying the environment around the plant.
In FY2025, we picked up trash four times again mainly along the roads around the plant.
We will continue to conduct environmental education for employees and proactively engage in environmental conservation.

Publishing environmental newsletters

We publish environmental news twice a year in June and November at the Osuka Plant to raise awareness of environmental efforts made by the plant.To raise environmental awareness, we will continue to issue these newsletters as one aspect of our educational activities to encourage people to think about the global environment.

Cleanup activities after the Grand Festival at a local shrine

After the local Mikumano Shrine Grand Festival, employees participated in cleanup activities around the shrine as part of our community contribution activities. In FY2025, these activities were once again led mainly by new employees, who worked together with local residents to clean the area.
This has become an annual event established in the community, with many local community leaders expressing their appreciation. We will therefore continue this activity.

Conducting traffic safety guidance on streets

During the national traffic safety campaign held quarterly, we conducted roadside traffic safety activities along the prefectural road leading to the plant’s entrance.
This activity not only raises employees’ safety awareness but also serves to raise traffic safety awareness among local residents.
We will continue to carry out activities aimed at ensuring the safety of the local community.

Participation in a tree-planting activity

In March 2026, we participated in the FY2025 Shiosai no Mori Tree Planting Ceremony organized by Kakegawa City and held at Obuchi Beach. As part of this initiative to reduce tsunami damage and protect lives and property, we planted a variety of trees. We will continue to engage in activities to protect the environment with our own hands.
