SUBARU Group’s Six Priority Areas for CSR

Process of Identifying the Six Priority Areas for CSR

The SUBARU Group promotes CSR initiatives in the Six Priority Areas for CSR: People-oriented Car Culture, Resonance and Coexistence, Peace of Mind, Diversity, Environment, and Compliance.
To select the priority areas, the SUBARU Group first identified 41 CSR priority topics for which social needs were high and then conducted a questionnaire among experts and investors in North America and Japan. The responses and opinions we received were used in an assessment and exploration of these areas from two perspectives: areas in which we can engage the community by leveraging our business strengths, and areas related to the demands of society. As a result, the SUBARU Group selected People-oriented Car Culture, Resonance and Coexistence, Peace of Mind, and Diversity as the four areas where SUBARU could engage our communities by leveraging our business strengths, and Peace of Mind, Diversity, Environment, and Compliance as the four areas where the SUBARU Group could work to meet the demands of society.
Peace of Mind and Diversity appear in both categories, because Peace of Mind is an area in which society’s needs and the strengths of the SUBARU Group’s business coincide, while Diversity refers not only to diversity in the community, but also to diversity in a broad sense, including in the products that the SUBARU Group offers to customers.
In August 2023, SUBARU announced new management policy. Its priority areas in this policy are fundamentally unchanged. Based on the SUBARU Global Sustainability Policy, SUBARU will pursue “value creation” on a Group-wide and global basis with the goal of becoming a company “delivering happiness to all.” We will also promote initiatives in the Six Priority Areas for CSR, recognizing issues of importance to society and the SUBARU Group, with the aim of creating greater social value and economic value.

Activities in the Six Priority Areas for CSR in Relation to the SDGs

The SUBARU Group seeks to become an organization that is trusted by society by fulfilling its social responsibility as a corporate group, aiming for sustainable growth and contributing to the creation of an enjoyable and sustainable society. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030 are development goals for achieving a sustainable future. By clarifying the Vision for 2025 regarding the Group’s Six Priority Areas for CSR, including areas in which we can engage the community by leveraging our business strengths, and areas related to the demands of society, SUBARU will reinforce its efforts in each area and make positive contributions toward achieving the SDGs.
Specifically, we believe that the SUBARU Group’s initiative to achieve a goal of zero fatal traffic accidents* in 2030 contributes to Target 3.6 of the SDGs: “By 2020, halve the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents.” The SUBARU Group will continue to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs by leveraging its business strengths and responding to the demands of society while pursuing “value creation” unique to the SUBARU Group.
