15、in every part of our strategic journey towards our long-term vision,Nissan Ambition 2030.Our sustainability commitments were reinforced in March 2024 when Nissan announced The Arc business plan,which is the bridge to our long-term vision.Through the Arc plan,Nissan will accelerate the electric vehic

16、le(EV)transition,prioritize reducing CO emissions,innovative technologies,leaner manufacturing systems,smart partnerships and market growth that will contribute to a more sustainable future and our ultimate goal of carbon neutrality.Our recently refreshed Nissan Green Program(NGP2030)and our newly l

17、aunched Nissan Social Program(NSP2030)support the plan as its foundation.Nissan first introduced its Nissan Green Program in 2002 with the goal of achieving our environmental philosophy of“A symbiosis of people,vehicles,and nature”.The NGP2030the fifth generation of the programlaunched in 2023,seeks

18、 to reduce the impact of our most material environmental issues,such as climate change,resource dependency,air quality and water,and to maximize opportunities.To address climate change,a key priority for Nissan,we have set the goal of achieving carbon neutrality throughout the lifecycle of our produ

19、cts and our business activities by 2050.Within NGP2030,by 2030,we are also aligned with the 1.5 scenario in terms of CO emissions from our factories and products.We aim to reduce CO emissions over the lifecycle of our products by 30%from the 2018 level through various initiatives,including procuring

20、 recycled and low-CO parts and by electrifying logistics.Nissan is also working to further enhance the value of EVs as mobile storage batteries.Through the Nissan Energy Share system,electricity from EV batteries can be shared with homes,buildings and society through Nissans unique energy management

21、 and interactive charging technologies.As a result,we will be able to use renewable energy more effectively and stably,thereby reducing CO emissions from electricity used by both Nissan and society.Nissans environmental initiatives are highly recognized.For five consecutive years,we have been certif

22、ied as an A List company for our efforts and information disclosure in the field of water security by CDP,a globally renowned non-profit organization,and for eleven successive years,we have also been certified as a leadership company in the field of climate change.We take pride in this evaluation as

23、 a testament to the hard work and dedication of our employees in resolving environmental issues.At Nissan,we are a people-centric company that creates inclusive communities to empower our employees,suppliers,partners,and society to grow together.That is why we launched NSP2030 our first comprehensiv

24、e social program which is based on understanding,engaging,and creating value for all our stakeholders.This program will focus on critical priority areas for Nissan,which include safety,quality,responsible sourcing,employee human-rights advocation,DEI(diversity,equity and inclusion),and communities.D

25、iversity is a source of strength and resilience for all teams across the organization,from the corporate level to the factory floor.This is why Nissan strongly promotes DEI initiatives,and we are proud to have made great strides in advancing diversity globally.We have increased the percentage of wom

26、en managers across our global operations to 15.9%,creating Nissan-unique strengths ranging all the way from the product planning phase to our direct contact points with customers.Nissan is working to develop technologies that significantly reduces crashes,such as the next-generation LIDAR technology

27、.Furthermore,we will promote traffic safety awareness among drivers and pedestrians through NSP2030.Another commitment is our continued respect for human rights,one of the five values of the Nissan Way that is the shared values that enable Nissan employees to unleash their full potential.Following i

28、nternal assessments conducted last year,we are strengthening our efforts on human rights around product safety,AI,privacy,and information security.Our efforts to bolster these areas will continue to ensure they are aligned with industry best practices in a rapidly changing environment.At Nissan,our

29、corporate purpose is“Driving innovation to enrich peoples lives”and both NGP2030 and NSP2030 play a critical role in fulfilling it.By advancing and accelerating our sustainability initiatives across Nissan globally,we aim to realize a cleaner,safer,more inclusive world,and ultimately,a more sustaina

33、It is committed to achieving a cleaner,safer and more inclusive world.Identification of material issuesNissan formulates sustainability strategies and promotes activities that account for stakeholder interests and the latest trends,such as technological innovation.When formulating these strategies,w

34、e identified key material issues that we need to address on a company-wide level based on an analysis of risks and opportunities.We considered both corporate activities and sustainability from the perspective of the impact of society and the environment on Nissan(financial impact),which is of great

35、interest to investors as well as the new perspective of how Nissan impacts-and benefits-society and the environment,and in doing so demonstrate the value that Nissan creates as well as its priorities.By communicating its approach in greater detail to stakeholders,Nissan hopes to expand opportunities

36、 for collaboration in various ways and further strengthen its relationships of trust in the automotive sector as well as further afield in a bid to take its initiatives to the next level.Sustainability at NissanNissan Motor CorporationSocialEnvironmentalCorporate directionDataGovernanceContentsSusta

61、 action plan in 2002 to realize Nissans environmental philosophy of“a symbiosis of people,vehicles,and nature.”For more than 20 years since then,we have continued to evolve the way we tackle environmental issues.The fifth generation of the program-the NGP2030-aims to reduce environmental impacts by

62、improving technologies and business processes.It also strives to have a positive impact on society and the environment to ensure our living society is sustainable and in harmony with nature.Breaking new ground,the NSP2030 has been formulated to promote social initiatives comprehensively with a view

63、to 2030.It aims to transform Nissan into a people-centric company that will continue to grow together with employees,suppliers,partners,and broader society.It also seeks to create value for people in the community.With both NGP2030 and NSP2030 we have established goals for 2030 as well as action pla

148、ing safe,secure,and sustainable mobility to all individuals and delivering value to society has become increasingly important.Among these issues,climate change is viewed as a factor contributing to large natural disasters that occur frequently around the world each year,and the need to reduce the im

149、pact of climate change is now greater than ever before.In the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC)Sixth Assessment Report released from 2021 to 2023,it was emphasized once again that there is no doubt that climate change is caused by human activities,and that urgent and enhanced measures

150、are needed without delay to limit the global average temperature rise to 1.5.At the 28th Conference of the Parties(COP28)to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC)was held in December 2023,ambitious targets were proposed to address climate and biodiversity issues.These targ

169、Together with the United Nations University,Nissan utilized the Corporate Ecosystem Services Review*1 methodology in conducting research to ascertain the impact and dependency its own corporate activities have on ecosystems.The findings of that research were published in the 2010 report entitled Eco

170、system Services and the Automotive Sector*2.Through this assessment,seven ecosystem services were identified as priorities for Nissan and the automotive industry as a whole:Fresh water,air quality regulation,climate regulation,water regulation,erosion regulation,water purification and treatment,and

171、natural hazard regulation.In order to understand the relation of these with the automotive industry,Nissan has identified:Energy sourcing,mineral and material sourcing,and water usage as priority areas and conducted assessments to determine the dependencies on and impacts on these ecosystem services

172、.A detailed analysis was conducted to assess impacts and dependencies with regard to each of these ecosystem services.Also in 2013,we estimated that the use of water resources in the upstream resource procurement process was more than 20 times the amount of water used by Nissan,and we also conducted

173、 analyses related to air quality.Ecosystem and biodiversity assessments are reflected in materiality decisions and incorporated into specific actions as Nissan Green Program policies and strategies.Nissan endorsed the TNFD*3s recommendations and joined the TNFD Forum to support its activities,believ

179、treme weather due to climate change is increasing,and thus we believe it is necessary to enhance our strategy and make it more resilient amid growing uncertainties.In 2015,the 21st Conference of the Parties(COP21)to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC)adopted a framework

180、(the Paris Agreement)aimed at limiting global temperature increase to“well below”2.COP26 in 2021 announced its resolution“to continue efforts to limit temperature rise to 1.5”to emphasize 1.5restriction,while adding the“reduction of global carbon dioxide emissions to virtually zero by mid-century.”S

181、imilar to the Paris Agreement,the Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)adopted by the United Nations in 2015 also called for concrete measures to address climate change.The scenario analysis conducted for the purpose of strategic enhancements assumes societies based on the 4 and 2 scenarios presented

182、in the International Energy Agency(IEA)time horizon up to 2050 and the 1.5 scenario in the IPCC special report.Furthermore,in consideration of factors including changes in customer and market acceptance,tightening automobile regulations and the transition toward clean energy,Nissans business activit

235、s among employeesNissans environmental activities are supported by the environmental knowledge,awareness,and competence of each and every employee.As part of our ISO 14001 activities,we provide Nissan employees and the employees of partner companies working in our offices and plants with education a

236、imed at reducing CO emissions,energy and water consumption,and waste,as well as preventing environmental accidents,based on the Nissan Green Program 2030(NGP2030).We also provide annual training for the purpose of preventing environmental accidents.In addition to education and training,quantitative

237、evaluations of all employees are conducted at plants to develop human resources able to continuously improve their competence and reduce environmental impacts.The training curriculum is reviewed annually to ensure that employees always acquire the necessary competencies.In Japan,we provide orientati

238、on for new employees and compliance education for new supervisors and executives to promote an understanding of NGP2030 and the enviromental issues surrounding the automotive industry.We also share new information on environmental initiatives with our employees through our intranet,internal newslett

239、ers,and internal cable television broadcasts.*1VOCs：Organic chemicals that readily evaporate and become gaseous at normal temperature and pressure conditions.*2Excluding vehicles manufactured outside of NissanOutside Japan,we share information through our intranet,as well as through videos,events,an

240、d other locally appropriate tools and opportunities aimed at raising awareness and sharing information with all our employees.Nissans voluntary operational standardsStricter controls on environment-impacting substances are being implemented in countries around the world.Examples include the European

241、 ELV directive,the European Unions Registration,Evaluation,Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals(REACH)Regulation,which went into effect in June 2007,and Japans Act on the Evaluation of Chemical Substances and Regulation of Their Manufacture.The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association(JAMA)l

242、aunched a voluntary program to help minimize the potential release of formaldehyde,toluene,and other volatile organic compounds(VOCs)*1 in values cabins.This program utilized the VOC guidance value established by the Ministry of Health,Labour and Welfare for specific substances in January 2002 to be

243、 met for all new models manufactured or sold by Nissan in Japan after April 2007.In accordance with the Ministrys guidance value revision in January 2019,new guideline values have been met for new models released in 2022 or later.Nissan is strengthening its management of chemical substances,adhering

244、 to a planned schedule for their reduction and advancing the use of alternative substances.In 2005,we drew up policies regarding the use of substances scientifically recognized as being hazardous or carrying high hazard risks,as well as those identified as dangerous by NGOs.In 2007,these policies,wh

245、ich restrict environment-impacting substances even more than the domestic laws of the countries where we operate,were rolled out globally.Based on the above-referenced policies,Nissan developed a specific Nissan Engineering Standard(NES)for the Restricted Use of Substances,which identifies the chemi

246、cal substances whose use is either prohibited or controlled.The NES is applied in material selection and also in the components and parts used in our vehicles from initial development onward.For example,four heavy metal compounds(mercury,lead,cadmium,and hexavalent chromium)and the polybrominated di

247、phenyl ether(PBDE)flame retardant have been either prohibited or restricted in models*2 launched globally since July 2007.To control VOC use in car interiors,Nissan adopted the voluntary targets of JAMA as our own standards for global operations,and we are reviewing and reducing the use of prohibite

248、d and controlled chemical substances in materials and adhesives for seats,door trim,floor carpet and other parts.Every year,we revise the Restricted Use of Substances standards to reflect changes in international laws and regulations and to add new substances covered by our voluntary internal standa

249、rds.In the revision for fiscal 2017,we established criteria for proactively reevaluating hazards and risks related to regulations to enhance compliance levels.For example,we disclose information to users and submit REACH reports to the relevant authorities about the vehicles and parts produced in or

250、 exported to Europe from Japan and other countries(including some from the U.S.).We also comply with Classification,Labeling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures regulations.Sanctions and government guidance at Nissan production facilitiesDuring fiscal 2023,in relation to the environmental manag
