Nissan vows to boost drive for sustainability

MANILA: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. issued its Sustainability Report 2021 last Friday, July 30. The annual report outlines the company’s approach and initiatives toward sustainability.

Sustainability Report 2021 presents comprehensive data related to environment, traffic safety, diversity and inclusion, quality, supply chain, employees, community engagement, and corporate governance and compliance.

Since 2004, Nissan has been issuing a sustainability report every year to implement transparency. The data is made available to the public in order for the company to gain external feedback that contributes to the development of a sustainable society. To further increase the transparency of its business activities, Nissan recently co-hosted an online public seminar that tackled sustainability.

In 2018, the Japanese carmaker introduced Nissan Sustainability 2022, a strategy that defines the company’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. Nissan is also addressing climate change, resource dependency, air quality, and water scarcity through Nissan Green Program 2022, a midterm environmental action plan.

In a statement, Nissan President and Chief Executive Officer Makoto Uchida said, “The products, technologies and services that Nissan provides reach people all over the world, and we are connected to society in various ways. We are expected to address environmental and social issues, such as achieving carbon neutrality across our operations, preserving natural resources, and working to protect the human rights of people connected to our supply chain. Through innovation and sound business activities, Nissan will continue to respond by providing products and technologies that enrich people's lives, thereby aiming to provide solutions and contribute to the development of a sustainable society.”

With its corporate purpose of “driving innovation to enrich people’s lives,” Nissan continues to contribute to the development of a cleaner and safer environment as part of its initiatives to build a sustainable society.
