Mid- to Long-Term Targets and Results

Environmental Brand

Suzuki has introduced the environmental brand , with the aim of realizing the Suzuki Global Environment Charter, which sets forth Suzuki’s philosophy and basic policy toward the environment. clearly defines Suzuki’s environmental policy, next-generation eco-friendly technologies and efforts such as environmental activities, and it is promoted widely both internally and externally. has three categories:, which represents Suzuki’s environmental policy; , which represents its next-generation eco-friendly technologies; and , which represents its environmental activities.

represents Suzuki’s environmental doctrine and policy

represents next-generation eco-friendly technologies developed and utilized by Suzuki

represents Suzuki’s effort and activity on realizing the environmental policy

Suzuki Global Environment Charter (Established in 2002 and revised in 2006)

Environmental Concept

In order to hand over our beautiful Earth and affluent society to the next generations, we must all realize that the actions of each and every one of us have a great effect on our Earth’s future, so we must make every effort to preserve our environment.

Basic Environmental Policies

Strictly observe environmental laws and also follow our own standards.
Actively reduce the environmental impact resulting from our business activities and products.
Maintain and continually improve upon our environmental management system.
Actively promote environmental communication.

Suzuki Group environmental organization

For the purpose of environmental management across the entire Group, Suzuki has established the Committee for Carbon Neutrality and the Committee for Environmental Promotion as management and operational executive bodies reporting directly to the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors supervises the Committee for Carbon Neutrality and the Committee for Environmental Promotion, and makes final decisions based on the reports from these committees.
The Committee for Carbon Neutrality focuses on the theme of climate change (carbon neutrality) and holds intensive deliberations on decarbonization. The Committee for Environmental Promotion holds deliberations on environmental issues other than carbon neutrality, such as the efficient use of resources and the conservation of biodiversity.
The themes of the two committees are clearly distinguished to enhance the effectiveness of meetings and further accelerate decision-making related to climate change response, efficient use of resources, and conservation of biodiversity.

(As of March 2026)

Suzuki Environmental Vision 2050 —Smaller, Fewer, Lighter, Shorter, Beauty—

“Sho-Sho-Kei-Tan-Bi (Smaller, Fewer, Lighter, Shorter, Beauty)”: these are the words which Suzuki has used since the early 1990s to express the basis of its manufacturing. We believe that this concept also applies to initiatives for tackling global environmental issues including climate change, water shortages, and resource depletion.
On the occasion of the Company’s 100th anniversary in 2020, we set the Suzuki Environmental Vision 2050 as a compass toward 2050, in order to “contribute to society and become a company loved and trusted throughout the world” for the next 100 years.
We make the environmental impacts of our business activities smaller and fewer, and make the environmental impact lighter. We shorten the time it takes to tackle various environmental issues. Through these efforts, we aim to realize a future where the Earth remains bountiful and beautiful. Guided by the Philosophy of Conduct “Sho-Sho-Kei-Tan-Bi (Smaller, Fewer, Lighter, Shorter, Beauty),” Suzuki strives to realize this vision for the future.

Overall image of Suzuki's Environmental Strategy

Suzuki has formulated a Suzuki Environmental Plan every five years as a set of environmental targets to promote environmental initiatives and ensure continuous improvement through the plan-do-check-action (PDCA) cycle.
In addition, this fiscal year, we have established the Suzuki Environmental Plan 2030 to replace the Suzuki Environmental Plan 2025 as part of promoting initiatives for the next five years.
To achieve the Suzuki Environmental Vision 2050, we will continue to promote our initiatives by setting short-term targets through backcasting.

Environmental Plan

Suzuki Environmental Plan 2030

In order to hand over our beautiful earth and affluent society to the next generations, Suzuki established the Suzuki Environmental Plan 2015 in FY2012 and the Suzuki Environmental Plan 2020 in FY2016 and has been striving to accomplish them based on the Suzuki Global Environment Charter. We established the new Suzuki Environmental Plan 2025 in FY2021 and have been promoting the development of products that reduce environmental impact and are eco-friendly towards the realization of the Suzuki Environmental Vision 2050 and Milestone 2030.
In light of changes in the social and business environments, we have formulated the Suzuki Environmental Plan 2030 to set our environmental targets for the next five years, replacing the Suzuki Environmental Plan 2025. While carrying forward the approach of Milestone 2030, under this plan, we will promote initiatives to address climate change, use resources efficiently, and conserve biodiversity, aiming both to realize a sustainable society and to enhance corporate value.

*1 Well-to-Wheel: An approach that adds CO₂ emissions from fuel extraction and refining and electricity generation to the CO₂ emitted directly from a vehicle’s tailpipe during driving.
*2 In light of changes in the business environment, we are considering reviewing our target framework, including automobiles, motorcycles, and marine products, using this target as a starting point.
*3 To be applied progressively to new passenger car models produced in Japan and Europe from 2030 onward.
　　In India, we will draw on the knowledge gained in Japan and Europe to expand adoption while developing the local procurement environment.

Suzuki Environmental Plan 2025

FY2025 marked the final year of the Suzuki Environmental Plan 2025. We reviewed our initiatives to date and identified issues for the future. While we achieved many of the targets throughout the plan period, we fell short of targets for reducing VOC emissions in the painting process and for reducing water consumption in water resource conservation. We take these issues seriously and will analyze their causes to strengthen initiatives aimed at further reducing the environmental impact.
Moving forward, based on the issues identified in this plan, we will proceed with the formulation of the next Environmental Plan and the strengthening of initiatives. At the same time, in order to continue as a sustainable company for the next 100 years, we will further strengthen the response to environmental issues as Team Suzuki, which includes both domestic and overseas affiliates.
