 1. Introduction

Global warming is an issue of critical importance for the human race. Mazda recognizes that
environmental issues are one of the highest-priority area of CSR, and actively adopts initiatives to
promote a low-carbon, recycling-oriented society in harmony with nature. These efforts are reflected in
all our corporate activities, with the aim of achieving a sustainable society.

Mazda established the Mazda Global Environmental Charter as the basic policy for environmental
matters in the Mazda Group. The Group's environmental principle, namely, "The Mazda Group aims to
promote environmental protection and contributes to a better society while maintaining harmony with
nature in its business activities worldwide," as well as five guidelines, act as the basis of Mazda's
approach to the environment. The Company carries out corporate activities related to products,
technology, manufacturing, logistics, office operations, social contributions, and other areas in
consideration of the environment.

Mazda has been maintaining mutual cooperation with suppliers for environmental protection, and will
make further enhancement of these initiatives to promote environmental protection and fulfill corporate
social responsibility. We really appreciate your further understanding, support and cooperation.

 2. CSR Vision

1) Basic Approach
Mazda aims to achieve its Corporate Vision* through the actions of each individual, based on
the Mazda Way. While striving to meet the requests and expectations of all of Mazda's
stakeholders, each employee pursues CSR initiatives in the course of their daily business
activities. In this way, Mazda contributes to the development of a sustainable society.

Referencing the Charter of Corporate Behavior issued by the Japan Business Federation
(Nippon Keidanren), Mazda evaluates its CSR activities in the six areas of Environmental
Protection, Customer Satisfaction, Respect for People, Social Contributions, Compliance, and
Information Disclosure. Through our interaction with various stakeholders, we have further
designated three of these areas as important themes for special action because they are
particularly sought by society and Mazda is able to make a contribution.

- Environmental Protection: Along with being a pressing issue for humanity, this is the
highest priority issue for automakers

- Respect for People: The foundation of society, including the human resource
development that is the foundation of our corporate activities

- Social Contributions: Contributing to local communities as a good corporate citizen

“Corporate Vision” : In 1999, Mazda evolved its existing management philosophy into its current Corporate Vision.
Comprising the three key elements of Vision (corporate objectives), Mission (corporate roles and responsibilities) and
Value (the values Mazda seeks to produce), this Corporate Vision defines the goals of the company and its employees,
their roles and responsibilities, and the sense of values we embrace in pursuit of our targets.

 4. Requests to Our suppliers

When the Mazda Group selects a supplier to work with, we will prioritize with certain criteria in line
with “Mazda Global Environment Charter”. In other words, we will source from those who
establish/implement environmental management systems. At the same time, we prioritize those who
address actions aggressively, such as countermeasures against global warming, recycling of natural
resources, natural environment protection, chemical substance management/reduction and promotion
of biodiversity.

In accordance with this philosophy, we will likely raise requests as you see below. In addition, Mazda
may confirm over time progress as to how each item has been carried out.

- 4. Requests to our suppliers -
1) Compliance with Environmental Laws and
Regulations

The Mazda Group addresses compliance with regulations as one of the key pillars in CSR. Therefore
observance of environment related laws and regulations is the assumption to promote far-reaching
environmental activities. On the other hand, environment related regulations to be followed are getting
diversified and increased more than ever in tandem with globalization of the business.

We may ask all the suppliers who have a business transaction with the Mazda Group to comply with
laws and regulations in various countries/regions continuously in terms of several items such as;
pollution prevention & its successive monitoring of atmosphere/water/soil, reduction of contaminated
material, appropriate disposal of waste and development of recycling measures, an appropriate
management of banned chemical substance and understanding of its emission amount clearly for
reporting purpose. In the same token we would like to ask for suppliers’ continuous work with integrity,
while paying attention to the trend of regulatory amendments.

2) Establishment of Environmental Management
System (EMS)

Mazda has requested our major suppliers to acquire 3rd party certification such as ISO14001. In
order to manage systematically and improve environment protection on an going basis holistically, we
would like to ask your action in EMS establishment & management, centering around ISO14001. In
this context, let us ask you an additional support in cascading this mechanism to your suppliers in Tier
2 and lower, as same as you do in your company.

Report of ISO14001 certification acquirement

We would like to ask suppliers to acquire ISO14001 certificate and renewal of qualification
continuously as you did in the past. At the same time every time you acquire/renew the
certificate, please update ISO14001 status in certificate acquirement column in MGN*
Supplier Data File together with other certification related update.
Suppliers without ISO14001 are supposed to report whether or not you possesses 3rd party
certificate other than ISO14001. Then please implement “EMS (Environmental Management
System) Self-Assessment Chart”. In addition, it is requested to identify the plan to get
ISO14001 certification, if you have any. The assessment chart shall be submitted according

of biodiversity, sustainable use of natural resources, durability improvement, the 3Rs of waste
management and waste reduction in business operation. We would like to ask your support of our
activity, while understanding our intention.

(i) Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan Development

Let us show you the reduction target of greenhouse gas (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6,
and etc.)*1, which will be generated during business operation at your end. In the hope of
meeting the target from us, please come up with the plan and implement it to reduce
environmental burden and green house gas. Sometimes we may check the progress against the
reduction plan. Please report your plan and its progress, when requested by MC.

Greenhouse gas reduction target*2 : More than 1% of reduction vs last year

(ii) Proposals of Design/Product/Service for Environment

(iii) Proposals of Greenhouse Gas Reduction in Logistic Process

Mazda considers that the most imminent task against global warming is to reduce every kind of
greenhouse gas not only from product manufacturing processes but also from business
operation. For further promotion of this approach, it would be appreciative if you can
aggressively address the activity, by coming up with proposals to related departments to
manage greenhouse gas emission amount when the products are delivered to MC, deletion or
streamlined packaging ideas, environment friendly packaging using recycled materials and
proposal to reduce greenhouse gas via improved logistic efficiency.

(iv) Preparations for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Mazda is striving to reduce the environmental load over the entire automobile life cycle,
evaluating environmental impact at each stage from the production process through to use by
the customer and disposal. To this end, we establish LCA implementation method & assessment,
which will be rolled out and used widely. Therefore suppliers who provide parts / materials /
sub-materials, are supposed to submit necessary data, when requested by MC regarding LCA.
Please cooperate with us.
