The president’s message released within the Group on June 1, 2024
The Daihatsu Group has declared June to be Environment Month and conducts a variety of activities every year for the purpose of raising environmental awareness among each and every employee. One element of the activities is the company president’s environmental message, which is distributed throughout the entire Group to get everyone on the same page.
While prioritizing the prevention of recurrence of problems, we have positioned fiscal 2025 as the beginning of a new journey toward our rebirth as a “mobility company focused on small vehicles.” Based on this, we have begun accelerating technological initiatives including electrification of vehicles, cutting CO2 emissions at factories and offices, and the utilization of renewable energy.
We also work to cherish the small discoveries in our daily work and daily lives as we consistently engage in environmentally conscious activity over time that gradually builds on itself.
Daihatsu’s president combines a “defense” approach of compliance with laws and rules with an “offense” approach of achieving carbon neutrality, strongly declaring the Daihatsu Group’s commitment to coming together to tackle environmental issues.
Internal auditor training sessions
Daihatsu’s environmental education aims to nurture people with high environmental awareness, who deepen their knowledge and understanding of environmental conservation activities, and who act on their own initiative. We carry out this education systematically in line with the content of each employee’s work. In the new recruit education and general education programs—targeted at new recruits and general employees respectively—educators at Daihatsu’s business sites provide instruction on job and environmental responsibilities, and employees put this instruction to good use in their everyday work. Employees responsible for promoting Daihatsu’s environmental initiatives undergo specialized programs of environmental management education and legal compliance training using materials created in partnership with third-party training institutions.
