Management System
Sustainability Committee
The Sustainability Committee, established as a forum for discussing all kinds of sustainability initiatives by the SUBARU Group, meets twice a year. The Sustainability Committee’s chair is selected by the Board of Directors and is currently the President and Representative Director. All of SUBARU’s executive officers are members of this committee, which considers business issues from a social perspective and works to strengthen sustainability efforts.
The committee discusses important sustainability issues and checks and reviews the PDCA status of each committee and department. This information is shared and coordinated with specialized departments and committees responsible for quality, risk management, compliance, and other areas, thereby establishing a cross-departmental promotion system. In addition, the results of the committee’s discussions and deliberations are submitted and reported to the Board of Directors, which oversees the Sustainability Committee. The Board of Directors reviews these in the context of their contribution to enhancing medium- to long-term corporate value.
Within SUBARU, we are strengthening information sharing and coordination regarding details from Sustainability Committee meetings and for promoting sustainability through management-level sustainability leaders in each division, department, and company. In coordination with Group companies and dealerships in Japan, we share information with sustainability leaders and relevant departments at each company.

Initiatives
Instilling Group-Wide Understanding and Messaging Internally and Externally
In the SUBARU Group, we are taking various steps for each employee to gain a deeper understanding of sustainability in order to promote initiatives in this area. In FYE March 2026, we rolled out an e-learning course and educational materials on the basics of sustainability to employees of SUBARU and its Group companies in Japan. This course introduces the SUBARU Group’s approach to sustainability and its related initiatives. We also incorporated sustainability training into new employee training for SUBARU. In addition, for senior management, we held an executive study session on environmental issues for SUBARU’s directors, Audit & Supervisory Board members, executive officers, outside directors, and outside Audit & Supervisory Board members.
In addition, we publish the Sustainability Newsletter as an internal communication channel for employees of SUBARU and its Group companies in Japan to share information about specific activities and our approach. We have also established the Sustainability Journal as a medium for communicating the SUBARU Group’s sustainability initiatives both internally and externally.
