Introduction of Environmental Management System

Suzuki is promoting the introduction of ISO 14001 as part of its environmental conservation efforts. ISO 14001 is an international standard for environmental management systems. By obtaining ISO 14001 certification, Suzuki works to comply with environmental laws and regulations and reduce environmental impacts through implementation of this system.

94%^* of all factories of Suzuki Motor Corporation and its domestic and overseas manufacturing subsidiaries (which account for more than 99% of global CO₂ emissions from manufacturing) have obtained ISO14001 certification.

* Out of the total 18 companies and 33 factories, 16 companies and 31 factories have obtained certification.

In April 1998, Magyar Suzuki became the first in the Suzuki Group to acquire ISO 14001 certification. By March 2003, all domestic Suzuki plants had obtained ISO 14001 certification. Of our domestic manufacturing subsidiaries, 10 factories across 4 companies have obtained ISO 14001 certification. Additionally, 11 overseas manufacturing subsidiaries (16 factories) and 2 overseas affiliates (2 factories) have obtained ISO 14001 certification. In January 2023, our head office, including offices and development areas, acquired ISO 14001 certification. We will also promote steady introduction of ISO 14001 at our domestic offices and development sites, etc. In addition, at the head office, we are strengthening environmental initiatives by conducting both an annual external audit by a certification body and an annual internal audit.

Environmental Training and Awareness

Employee training

As part of our employee development program, we incorporate basic environmental education into the training of new employees, including Suzuki's environmental philosophy, environmental policy, environmental issues, and eco-driving promotion. We also provide environmental training according to respective operations and positions. In order to prevent environmental incidents, each domestic factory provides its own training to workers involved in environmentally important processes, as well as introductory training for new employees, training for managers, and general training.

Situation Concerning Environmental Laws and Regulations

In FY2025, there were 6 cases of significant spills^* and 4 cases of environmental complaints, all of which were properly taken care of. There were no administrative actions, fines, or penalties associated with these significant spills.

[Scope of aggregation]
Head office, Iwata Plant, Kosai Plant, Osuka Plant, Sagara Plant, Hamamatsu Plant

* Significant spills: Spills that are recorded as spills from an organization, such as exceedances of legal or regulatory limits related to wastewater, air emissions, odors, chemical substances (including oil), and waste, as well as soil and groundwater contamination.

Information Disclosure

To spread awareness and understanding of our environmental initiatives among our stakeholders, we disclose our environmental technologies online, in booklets and other media, and through participation in environment-related exhibitions and events.

Participation in Outside Associations, etc.

Cooperation with various economic and industry associations

Suzuki is a member of associations such as the Japan Business Federation and the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association and cooperates with these organizations to tackle problems to achieve a sustainable society.
Suzuki dispatches committee members to various committees, subcommittees, and working groups at the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association to participate in comprehensive activities. We regard climate change as a particularly critical issue, and are working in unison with the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association to reduce CO₂ emissions by improving fuel efficiency, developing next-generation vehicles, improving traffic flow, and promoting eco-driving.

Support for the TCFD^*

As a supporter of the TCFD^*, Suzuki has endorsed and signed the TCFD recommendations and promotes the disclosure of information that is easy for stakeholders to understand. To further strengthen our resilience to climate change, we are working to improve our scenario analysis and enhance the information we disclose.

Participation in the GX League^*

In April 2023, Suzuki joined the GX League promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
The GX League is a forum for companies that are taking on the challenge of GX (Green Transformation) and aiming to achieve sustainable growth in current and future society, with an eye toward achieving carbon neutrality and social change by 2050, and to collaborate with other companies and government and academic organizations engaged in similar initiatives.

Participation in the GX Future League^*

Following its participation in the GX League, Suzuki joined the GX Future League promoted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
The GX Future League is a platform where both public and private sectors conduct working groups on various themes with the aim of “creating demand,” “rule-making,” “dissemination of rules,” and “penetration of rules” related to GX and others, regardless of industry, business categories, or emission levels.
Through participation in this league and collaboration across industries and business sectors, Suzuki will accelerate its efforts to realize a carbon-neutral society.
