	CO2 emitted from business activities	Reduce CO2 from business activities by 80% in terms of carbon intensity per sales unit compared to FY2016 by 2050.	Reduce CO2 from business activities by 45% in terms of carbon intensity per sales unit compared to FY2016 by 2030.

Basic Policy

Recently, extreme weather events said to be caused by global warming have been occurring frequently. To mitigate these climate change effects, the Paris Agreement was adopted to attain net zero greenhouse gas emissions in the second half of this century, with the aim of limiting the rise in global average temperature to less than 2°C relative to pre-industrial levels. Based on the principles of “Sho-Sho-Kei-Tan-Bi (Smaller, Fewer, Lighter, Shorter, Beauty),” Suzuki has long manufactured products with low CO₂ emissions using manufacturing methods that emit low CO₂ emissions.
We acknowledge that we must now strive to reduce CO₂ emissions further in order to meet the so-called 1.5°C target.
With this in mind, Suzuki will establish emissions reduction targets aligned with climate science and push ahead with related efforts.

Governance

Organizational structure related to climate change risks and opportunities

Suzuki has established the Committee for Carbon Neutrality and Environmental Committee, which are executive and business operations committees, and the Corporate Governance Committee under the Board of Directors for the purpose of the Group’s overall environmental management.
The Board of Directors instructs and supervises the Committee for Carbon Neutrality, Environmental Committee, and Corporate Governance Committee, and receives reports from these three committees and is the ultimate decision-making body.
The Committee for Carbon Neutrality focuses on the theme of climate change (carbon neutrality) and holds intensive monthly deliberations on decarbonization so the committee can operate more flexibly.
The Environmental Committee meets twice yearly to discuss environmental themes other than carbon neutrality, such as air conservation, water resources, and resource circulation.
The Corporate Governance Committee considers matters related to comprehensive compliance and risk management, etc., and promotes measures and countermeasures for cross-organizational issues while coordinating with related divisions.
Clearly defining the themes of the three committees enhances their effectiveness and further accelerates decision-making toward decarbonization.

*A subcommittee of the Environmental Committee had previously deliberated on climate change, but in April 2023 this was reorganized as the Committee for Carbon Neutrality and developed as one of the executive and business operations committees.

Strategy

Response to the TCFD's Recommendations

Climate-related risks and opportunities, scenario analysis

Suzuki has been identifying business risks and opportunities to promote business activities in a sustainable manner. Since the impact of climate change, in particular, is intrinsically uncertain, we believe that it is crucial to assess the degree of its impact on risks and opportunities from a broader future perspective and respond appropriately.
Based on this recognition, we have evaluated the impact of climate change on risks and opportunities by using two scenarios. One is the “4°C scenario” in which climate change causes marked physical effects, and the other is the “1.5°C/2°C scenario” in which mitigation measures are being implemented at an accelerated pace toward the realization of the Paris Agreement. Regarding the types of risks, we observe risks and their impact from two points of view, “transitional risks” from policies, regulations, etc., and “physical risks,” from natural disasters, etc. When creating the scenarios, we referred to external scenarios based on scientific knowledge from the IEA^*1 and IPCC^*2, among other sources.

• *1 IEA: International Energy Agency.
• *2 IPCC: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Climate-related risks and opportunities for Suzuki

As more stringent laws and regulations, including exhaust gas, CO₂, and fuel efficiency regulations, are being adopted as mitigation measures against climate change, the resulting increase in development expenses needed to comply with these regulations may greatly impact Suzuki’s business performance. On the other hand, small cars, which are a strength of Suzuki's, require less materials and energy to produce and emit less CO₂ while in use. We believe that we can create opportunities by leveraging this unique strength of Suzuki's and by handling risks appropriately.
Moreover, beginning in FY2023, we started a financial impact analysis based on the scenario analysis related to climate change that we disclosed in the past. This initiative aims to assess the global impact of natural disaster risks such as typhoons, floods, and storm surges caused by rising temperatures, and to reduce or avoid these risks to ensure business continuity. We have already begun assessing this impact on our domestic and Indian sites, as well as on our primary domestic business partners.
We will continue to hold careful discussions to reduce or avoid risks caused by climate change, capture opportunities for the future, and increase our competitive edge, and we will incorporate the outcomes of these discussions into our business strategies.

List of our climate-related risks and differences in impact by scenario

■Transition Risks -1. Major risks expected to increase under the 1.5℃ and 2℃ scenarios-

Risk management

Risk Management Framework

The Corporate Governance Committee deliberates on issues that arise or are recognized in each department, and identifies and ascertains potential risks, without limiting itself to just climate-related issues. The Committee for Carbon Neutrality and Environmental Committee conduct intensive examination of environment-related risks depending on the theme, and instruct and manage departments.

Themes handled by respective meeting bodies

• Corporate Governance Committee:
  Ascertains risks arising or recognized in each department, deliberates, and issues instructions to the department to resolve the issue.
• Committee for Carbon Neutrality:
  Of environmental risks, deliberates the risks and opportunities related to climate change (carbon neutrality) and resolves and promotes them.
• Environmental Committee:
  Deliberates on environmental risks and opportunities apart from climate change, such as water resources and biodiversity, and resolves and promotes them.

Indicators and Targets

Basic policy

Recently, irregular weather phenomena caused by global warming have been occurring more frequently. The Paris Agreement, which aims to limit the increase in global average temperature to less than 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to achieve virtually zero greenhouse gas emissions in the second half of this century, was adopted to suppress the impact of this climate change.
Suzuki has traditionally manufactured products creating fewer CO₂ emissions during manufacture and during use in line with the philosophy of “Sho-Sho-Kei-Tan-Bi (Smaller, Fewer, Lighter, Shorter, Beauty),” and we acknowledge that we must now strive to reduce CO₂ emissions further in order to meet the so-called 1.5°C target. With this in mind, we will establish emissions reduction targets aligned with climate science and push ahead with related efforts.
Moreover, emerging countries also need to think about economic growth and not just climate change measures. Suzuki will aim for growth together with emerging countries and promote climate change measures while working to enrich the lives of people in those countries.
Suzuki has set multiple climate-related targets and indicators, and promotes these and manages their progress.
In addition to CO₂ emissions, indicators have also been set for energy, air conservation, water resource conservation, and other areas related to climate change.
We have set three major indicators based on our targets, and we aim to achieve each of them.

• Long-term: Suzuki Environmental Vision 2050
• Medium-term: Milestone 2030 and the Mid-Term Management Plan announced in February 2025
• Short-term: Suzuki Environmental Plan 2025

Please check here for details on indicators and targets.

Efforts Related to Product Use

Disclosure of the entire value chain's greenhouse gas emissions

At Suzuki we believe it is necessary to ascertain and disclose greenhouse gas emissions in order to reduce emissions resulting from business activities such as purchasing raw materials and parts and manufacturing and selling products, and since FY2013, this belief has led us to engage in efforts to grasp not only greenhouse gas emissions resulting from business activities but also greenhouse gas emissions throughout the entire value chain^*1.
GHG emissions generated through the entire value chain during FY2024 stood at 110.91 million t-CO₂, of which the emissions falling under Scope 3 (indirect emissions from other activities)^*1 were 110.01 million t-CO₂ that include 86.33 million t-CO₂ classified into Category 11 (use of products sold by Suzuki)^*2 accounting for 77.8% of the total emissions through the overall value chain.
Recognizing that to reduce the total GHG emissions in the entire value chain it is very important to reduce the CO₂ emissions released through the use of our products, we will make continuous efforts to emphasize better fuel efficiency during product development and improvement.

Converting to A/C refrigerants with low global warming potential

Under the Act on Rational Use and Appropriate Management of Fluorocarbons (Fluorocarbon Emissions Control Act), A/C refrigerants used in passenger cars shipped to Japan must be converted to refrigerants with lower global warming potentials starting FY2023. Suzuki traditionally used HFC-134a as a passenger car A/C refrigerant, but as this a larger global warming potential, so we have developed an air conditioning system using HFO-1234yf refrigerant, a refrigerant that has an extremely low global warming potential, and completed conversion of use to HFO-1234yf in all passenger cars to be shipped to Japan by the end of FY2022.

Efforts for outboard motors

Development of electric outboard motors, etc.

As part of our efforts to make outboard motors carbon neutral, we are preparing to bring electric outboard motors (BEVs) to market, as smaller models require relatively less battery capacity. Meanwhile, for mid- to large-size models, we will continue to pursue a policy of using carbon-neutral fuels such as bioethanol for the time being.

Efforts in production

Reduction of CO₂ emissions

The Paris Agreement, a new international framework for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to curb global warming, is now in effect, and governments and companies around the world are working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with the goal of limiting the rise in global average temperature to less than 2°C.
We believe it is important to promote a global reduction of CO₂ emissions from plants in order to reduce the effects of greenhouse gas emissions, and make efforts to reduce the amount of CO₂ emissions per production unit (automobile production units) of Suzuki’s global manufacturing units by 25% (compared to FY2016) by FY2025 in accordance with the Suzuki Environmental Plan 2025.
The total amount of CO₂ emissions from manufacturing activities in FY2024 was 797,000 t-CO₂/year at Suzuki overall on a global scale, 95,000 t-CO₂/year in Japan, and 702,000 t-CO₂/year overseas. The amount of CO₂ emissions per manufacturing unit was 0.243 t-CO₂/unit.
In terms of reduction initiatives in addition to activities for saving energy and eliminating waste, Suzuki is working to expand solar power generation both in Japan and overseas. We also began gradually introducing CO₂-free electricity at all Japanese production sites in July 2023.
We will continue to further promote the effective use of energy and work to reduce intensity.

Energy-saving activities at plants

All employees participate in daily activities such as reducing air leaks, turning off lights during breaks, and switching off power when plants are not in operation.
Also, when upgrading worn-out production equipment or introducing new equipment for production of new models, we work on building energy-saving plants that are more effective than before by utilizing gravity, downsizing and reducing the weight of equipment, and adopting high-efficiency devices such as LED lights and top-runner devices (motors, transformers).
Furthermore, as one of Suzuki’s efforts to reduce domestic CO₂, we are revising our energy supply, such as by converting fuels from LPG to city gas at the Osuka and Iwata plants. We also began extending this conversion to the Sagara Plant in FY2024. This conversion process is scheduled for completion in FY2026.
As for our overseas plants, we are introducing biogas in India.

Utilization of compressor exhaust heat to support kitchen water heating

Promoting the use of renewable energy

Suzuki promotes the use of renewable energy as an integral part of its global warming countermeasures.
We have been installing solar power facilities at our domestic plants, and have introduced these facilities on land adjacent to the Sagara Plant (Makinohara) and at the Hamamatsu Maisaka-Nishi Solar Power Plant, and Hamamatsu Plant. We also began partial solar power generation at the Iwata Plant in 2021 and the Kosai Plant in 2022, and intend to continue installing solar power facilities at other plants in the future.
We have also installed two wind power generation facilities at the Kosai Plant.
Our overseas plants of Maruti Suzuki India Limited, Suzuki Motor Gujarat Private Limited, and Suzuki Motorcycle India Private Limited have introduced and are expanding solar power generation facilities.
We will actively promote the use of renewable energy, both in Japan and overseas.

Development of a fuel cell system through verification testing of towing vehicle at Kosai Plant

Suzuki has been developing fuel cell system as a one of the technology for achive carbon neutrality. To identify issues to be address in order to apply fuel cell systems to various products in the future, in 2022, we started verification testing of towing vehicle equipped with fuel cell system at our Kosai Plant.
At the plant, we installed a facility that uses Photovoltaic and water electrolyzer to produce hydrogen without emitting CO₂ and then reduels the hydrogen to the towing vehicles, and we have put the facility into actual operation on a production line. The insights gained from this testing will form the basis for resolving issues such as making the system easier for operators to use and increasing its energy efficiency, and developing more compact and higher performing fuel cell system.

Efforts in office activities, etc.

Efforts at data centers

We are promoting energy conservation through the expanded use of IT technology for analyses and calculations, and are also working to reduce energy consumption by efficiently operating the increasing number of IT devices.

Energy conservation through the conversion to environmentally friendly equipment

In addition to consolidating, virtualizing, and cloud transitioning other IT equipment, such as computers, to the cloud, we have also updated facility equipment such as air conditioners and uninterruptible power supplies to more efficient models, resulting in a reduction in annual power consumption of over 1.23 million kWh in FY2024 compared to FY2021. (Reduced by approx. 20%)
We will also install carport-type solar panels in office parking lots, which began generating power in April 2025, which we anticipate will result in 470,000 kWh of internally generated power annually.

Efforts at offices

We are promoting energy saving and CO₂ emission reduction at offices through a group effort involving all employees.

Employee Code of Conduct

Our summer energy savings campaign, which we are promoting by issuing notices to all employees, will run from May to October.
In addition to promoting the use of Cool Biz, we are working to conserve energy by setting the standard for starting air conditioning operation at "room temperature of 28°C or higher or humidity of 60% or higher" and making sure that everyone is aware of this.
We have also set a standard, which will take effect beginning in November, for starting heating operation at a room temperature of 20°C or below as part of our effort to strive for energy conservation.
Furthermore, to reduce energy use in our operations as much as possible by using it more efficiently, we are promoting energy-saving measures such as turning off air conditioning and lights in unoccupied areas, thoroughly implementing energy-saving settings on electrical appliances, and reducing printing by digitizing forms.

Introduction of energy-saving facilities

We have been promoting the introduction of LED lighting since FY2012 to foster energy saving at offices. So far, we have changed around 80% of lights in offices to LEDs.

Other efforts

Reducing travel by providing a remote work environment

Providing an IT environment that enables remote work by allowing remote access to internal resources and offering an online conferencing system, etc., we are working to reduce energy consumption due to travel. Use of remote work is increasing at partner companies as well because we have established an environment that allows employees to do work from remote locations so they don't have to come to the office.

Promoting energy savings

We are proactively working to conserve energy on a daily basis, such as by using air conditioners, lighting, and information equipment in stores efficiently, and by promoting eco-driving by traveling between store locations or to business partners using company-owned cars and commercial vehicles.

Efforts using IT

We use IT such as the Internet as a tool when discussing business with customers and supporting communication between employees. We strive to reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions while helping customers and employees use their time more efficiently and reducing the burden of travel.

Environmentally friendly store designs

We promote the installation of energy-saving devices such as LED lighting equipment and high-efficiency air conditioners at stores. We work to create environmentally friendly stores by, for instance, installing rooftop greenery and solar panels at some stores.

Efforts in the Supply Chain, etc.

Efforts in procurement

Efforts in the supply chain toward carbon neutrality

To achieve carbon neutrality (net zero CO₂ emissions) by 2050, it is essential to reduce CO₂ emissions in the supply chain, which accounts for approximately 90% of the CO₂ emissions from manufacturing.
In 2021, Suzuki began activities toward achieving carbon neutrality in the supply chain. Since 2022, we have been receiving reports from our suppliers and have been working to visualize CO₂ emissions by fiscal year, by component, and by supplier.
We also asked our suppliers to develop CO₂ emissions reduction targets and road maps for 2030 and visited their manufacturing sites and conducted reduction activities based on these targets and road maps. Specifically, these included confirming the feasibility of reductions and examples of improvement efforts, identifying challenges in addressing carbon neutrality, and listening to various concerns. Starting in FY2024, we began giving presentations on reduction case studies for local small- and medium-sized business partners to promote carbon neutral activities.
Furthermore, starting in FY2022, we began presenting letters of appreciation to local small- and medium-sized business partners who are engaged in outstanding activities for achieving carbon neutrality naming them "CN Contributing Companies" in an effort to boost their motivation.
Going forward, we will continue cooperating with our suppliers to achieve carbon neutrality.

Valorization of Dairy Waste

Suzuki, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Suzuki R&D Center India Private Limited (SRDI), signed a tripartite agreement with National Dairy Development Board, statutory body of Government of India and Banas Dairy, Asia’s largest dairy producer, to establish four biogas production plants to help India achieve carbon neutrality. The three parties are currently working together to build a biogas plant in Gujarat, with operations expected to begin in 2025.
In India, dairy farming is closely linked to the rural economy, and many cows are raised, especially in rural areas. Cow manure, a dairy waste, release methane, which has a greenhouse effect 28 times greater than that of CO₂ when compared over 100years, into the atmosphere. We are challenging to establish a business that collects cow manure to reduce methane emissions into the atmosphere, and produce and supply the biogas as automotive fuel by utilizing collected cow manure as a raw material.
This biogas fuel is a carbon-neutral fuel that can be used in CNG vehicles, which accounted for approximately 35% of Suzuki's sales in India in FY2024 and in which Suzuki has an approximately 70% share of the Indian market.
In addition, residue from the biogas can also be used as organic fertilizer, which helps promote organic fertilizers.
By expanding initiatives beyond the existing businesses, we can contribute to not only prevent the release of methane into the atmosphere and utilize of waste but also solving social issues in India, such as revitalization of rural economy, creating new jobs, improving energy self-sufficiency, and forming a circular economy society.
On December 25, 2024, SRDI signed a joint venture agreement with NDDB Mrida Limited, a subsidiary of the National Dairy Development Board. Going forward, we through NDDB Mrida Limited will expand the biogas plants which will be built jointly with the Indian dairy cooperatives.
We also plan to expand to other regions in the future, and have already begun initiatives in Pakistan. On September 19, 2024, we signed a memorandum of understanding with University of Agriculture Faisalabad on joint research and development of biogas, and on April 26, 2025, we held a groundbreaking ceremony for a biogas plant that will purify biogas for use as automobile fuel.
Through these initiatives to solve local social and environmental issues, we are challenging to achieve our goal of becoming "infrastructure mobility that is closely integrated into daily life and remains a familiar and reliable presence for customers and society," as outlined in the Suzuki Medium-Term Business Plan (FY2025-FY2030).

Financial Strategies

R&D capital investment

In FY2024, R&D expenses were 256.2 billion yen and capital investment was 361.8 billion yen.
Going forward, we will improve profitability and efficiency, secure maximum investment funds, and actively invest in growth. In addition, we will flexibly allocate management resources to the right people in the right places in response to external circumstances in order to maximize corporate value. Growth investments will primarily focus on increasing production capacity to meet growing demand in India and developing technologies to minimize energy consumption.
Specifically, we plan to make 2 trillion yen in capital investments and spend 2 trillion yen on R&D by FY2030, a total investment in growth of 4 trillion yen. A total of 1.2 trillion yen of the capital investments will be India-related, and 1.35 trillion of the R&D expenses will be aimed at energy minimization.
