The SUBARU Group will develop products that contribute to the environment through advanced technologies, and engage in environmental activities aimed at coexistence with nature. Furthermore, the Group has defined the Environment as one of our Six Priority Areas for Sustainability, and considers activities for the environment as key to the continuation of our business.<br> Within this area of the Environment, SUBARU has identified three issues to be prioritized: controlling climate change, realizing a circular economy, and coexistence with nature. By addressing these environmental issues, we aim to ultimately reduce the environmental impact on the natural world to virtually zero, and to go even further to make a positive impact.<br> In addition to the value of "Enjoyment and Peace of Mind" that we have provided so far, SUBARU is considering the use of sustainable materials to create new appeal, while promoting manufacturing reforms to reduce waste and engaging in sustainable "Monozukuri Innovation" and "Value Creation".</p><br> <div class="mod-image-block mod-paragraph"> <div class="mod-image"> <img src="/en/csr/assets/img/img-management-03.png" alt=""> </div> </div> </div> <div class="inner__block"> <h3 class="headline--lv3">SUBARU Environmental Policies</h3> <div class="mod-bgBox is-reduce"> <h3 class="headline--lv3-2">SUBARU Environmental Philosophy</h3> <h4 class="headline--lv4">“The earth, the sky and nature” are SUBARU’s fields of business.</h4> <p>With the automotive and aerospace businesses as the pillars of SUBARU’s operations, our fields of business are the earth, the sky and nature.<br> Preservation of the ecosystem of our planet, the earth, the sky and nature, is of utmost importance to ensure the future sustainability of both society and SUBARU.
