Isuzu Environmental Vision 2050
In order for society to be prosperous and sustainable in 2050, and for Isuzu to continue to support transportation, in March 2020 the Isuzu Group formulated our Isuzu Environmental Vision 2050.
The Environmental Vision represents the Isuzu Group's desired future state, established through a scenario analysis of 2050 based on climate-related and socio-economic scenarios.
The Environmental Vision identifies four key environmental challenges, and by collaborating with stakeholders to advance these initiatives, we aim to achieve five Aspirations.
2030 Environmental Roadmap
To achieve the Environmental Vision, we established the 2030 Environmental Roadmap (hereinafter referred to as the roadmap) in 2022. This roadmap outlines the goals (2030 Challenge) and specific action plans (Global Action) to be pursued by 2030 as intermediate stepping stones.
This roadmap represents Isuzu's collective commitment to realizing the Environmental Vision, formulated through discussions with our stakeholders, as of 2022. Technological advancements and societal changes may significantly alter the situation in the future. While flexibly adapting to various changes, Isuzu will promote Green Transformation (GX) across all of its business activities to achieve the Aspirations in the Isuzu Environmental Vision.

Management Structure
The Isuzu Group has established a Sustainability Committee chaired by a director, with permanent membership composed of executives responsible for each area, in order to promote sustainability throughout the Group.
Regarding the environment, Four Environmental Bodies have been established under the Sustainability Committee, with consolidated subsidiaries from each segment as members. These bodies work to address various environmental challenges. The activities of each bodies are reported to the Board of Directors and the Management Meeting through the Sustainability Committee.
In FY2024, we established the Group Environmental Meeting under the Isuzu Group Sustainability Liaison Conference, targeting consolidated subsidiaries. In this meeting, subsidiaries are grouped based on factors such as region and business type, and activities are promoted across the entire Isuzu Group.
