Environment Month Events / Environmental Education

The Daihatsu Group carries out Environment Month activities every June. In his President’s Message for fiscal 2023, President Soichiro Okudaira declared that, in response to the formal agreement reached at COP26 that all countries globally will work toward achieving the 1.5°C target, Daihatsu established the “product electrification strategy” and “strategy for zero CO₂ emissions in production” as corporate policies and will work to achieve a low-carbon, pollution-free society through the Group’s business activities. President Okudaira further stated that for the Group to remain a business enterprise trusted by society, creating a recycling society in harmony with nature will be the most fundamental activity for the Group.

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 our environmental initiatives undergo specialized programs of environmental management education and legal compliance training using materials created in partnership with third-party training institutions.
