- FY2026AdvancedAnnual report
「Of the 110.91 million t-CO2 of greenhouse gas emissions from the entire value chain in fiscal 2024, 110.01 million t-CO2 constituted Scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions associated with other activities). Of these, emissions from Category 11, "Use of products sold by Suzuki," amounted to 86.33 million t-CO2, accounting for 77.8% of total value-chain emissions.」
Total value-chain emissions were updated to the fiscal 2024 results, showing that emissions from product use accounted for 77.8%. Improving fuel economy remains a priority initiative. - FY2026-H1AdvancedAnnual report
「Suzuki is taking on the challenge of developing technologies that absorb CO2 and create carbon-negative outcomes. Although the technology is still at the laboratory stage, the challenge involves retrofitting existing vehicles with CO2 capture systems and exploring whether the captured CO2 can be used in agriculture.」
The scope of environmental technologies was expanded beyond emissions reduction and the use of renewable energy to carbon-negative technologies involving the retrofitting of existing vehicles with CO2 capture systems and their potential use in agriculture. The Company explained that the technology is currently at the laboratory stage. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「Of the 108.71 million t-CO2 of greenhouse gas emissions from the entire value chain in fiscal 2023, 107.75 million t-CO2 constituted Scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions associated with other activities). Of these, emissions from Category 11, "Use of products sold by Suzuki," amounted to 85.58 million t-CO2, accounting for 78.7% of total value-chain emissions.」
Environmental impact management was updated to monitor total value-chain emissions of 108.71 million t-CO2 and the 78.7% share of emissions from product use, with improving fuel economy made a priority. - FY2025-H1ReframedAnnual report
「From manufacturing through recycling, we aim to develop technologies that minimise resource and environmental risks while providing people around the world with the joy of mobility and working toward a carbon-neutral world.」
The scope of environmental technologies was organised to cover the reduction of resource and environmental risks across the entire product life cycle, including materials, use and recycling, rather than only CO2 reduction during manufacturing. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「Of the 103.70 million t-CO2 of greenhouse gas emissions from the entire value chain in fiscal 2022, 102.56 million t-CO2 constituted Scope 3 emissions (indirect emissions associated with other activities). Of these, emissions from Category 11, "Use of products sold by Suzuki," amounted to 82.70 million t-CO2, accounting for 79.7% of total value-chain emissions.」
Progress management for the environmental plan and environmental vision was made more specific by monitoring total value-chain emissions and the share of emissions from product use, with improving fuel economy identified as a priority initiative. - FY2023RaisedAnnual report
「We believe that the philosophy of being small, fewer, light, short and beautiful also applies to our efforts to address global environmental issues such as climate change, water shortages and resource depletion. With the aim of becoming a Suzuki that contributes to society and is loved and trusted around the world for the next 100 years, we established the Suzuki Environmental Vision 2050 as a compass for the path toward 2050.」
The environmental policy following the Suzuki Environmental Plan 2020 was elevated to the Suzuki Environmental Vision 2050, looking ahead to 2050, and 2030 milestones. - FY2021RaisedAnnual report
「We will take on the challenge of achieving zero CO2 emissions from manufacturing by 2050. To achieve carbon neutrality, we will actively advance the development of various carbon-neutral technologies while reducing CO2 emissions through energy conservation and the use of renewable energy. As a first step, we will take on the challenge of achieving carbon neutrality at the Hamamatsu Plant by 2030 as a demonstration project.」
The Company raised its goals from its previous environmental planning and CO2 reduction policy to long-term, site-specific targets of zero manufacturing-related CO2 emissions by 2050 and carbon neutrality at the Hamamatsu Plant by 2030. - FY2019AdvancedAnnual report
「Going forward, we will formulate the next plan following the Suzuki Environmental Plan 2020 and work to establish a long-term environmental vision based on a long-term perspective, which is essential to the Suzuki Group's sustained growth.」
The Company moved to the stage of working on the next plan following the Suzuki Environmental Plan 2020 and formulating a long-term environmental vision. - FY2018First statedAnnual report
「Regarding the environment, we will promote the Suzuki Environmental Plan 2020 and work to develop and disseminate environmental technologies and reduce CO2 emissions.」
For the first time, the Company described initiatives under an environmental plan bearing 2020 in its name to develop and disseminate environmental technologies and reduce CO2 emissions.
