It is true that vehicles consume fuel and emit carbon dioxide (CO2). Subaru have enforced strict standards to reduce exhaust gases that cause air pollution, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). Low emission vehicles that meet these strict standards are being released continually onto the market. Making this possible are the technological developments for better fuel efficiency, such as the improvements made to the engine for enhanced efficiency, reduction of transfer loss and running resistance or rolling/wind resistance, and lighter vehicle bodies. Yet, the characteristics of the AWD system and high power engines remain unchanged. Additionally, petrol engine technology that makes use of materials with excellent thermal efficiency to prevent knocking at high compression ratios of 14 to 1 are being developed. These technologies will be applied in full to produce new petrol engines that rival the high efficiency and low emissions of diesel engines.

- We will reduce CO2 emissions at manufacturing plants by 15% compared to fiscal 1990 levels by fiscal 2010.
- We will reduce emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in vehicle production lines by 30% compared to fiscal 2000 levels by the end of fiscal 2010.
- We will promote the development and marketing of products that use clean energy, such as electric vehicles and SUBARU BOXER DIESEL.
- We will continue working to improve fuel economy with every full vehicle model change and annual model change.
- We will make further progress in reducing emissions produced by our vehicle lineup and promote popularisation of low emissions vehicles.
- We aim to achieve a 95% recycling ratio in 2015 by taking recyclability into account in new car designs.
- Regarding logistics, we will reduce energy consumption per sales by 5% compared to fiscal 2006 levels by the end of fiscal 2011.
- We will promote green procurement, which requires suppliers in and out of Japan to establish Environmental Management Systems and reduce substances with environmental impact.
