Biodiversity Conservation

Basic Approach

Isuzu Group's business activities both depend on the natural world, which nurtures biodiversity, and also have various impacts on it. Therefore, Isuzu Group has developed its Biodiversity Policy, referring to guidelines such as the Ministry of the Environment's Guidelines for Private Sector Engagement in Biodiversity and the Keidanren Declaration for Biodiversity. We are committed to promoting actions that harmonize biodiversity with our business activities to achieve a sustainable society.
To achieve the Aspiration of conserving native biodiversity outlined in the Isuzu Environmental Vision 2050, we will work in collaboration with NGOs and other stakeholders to conserve the native biodiversity in the areas surrounding Isuzu Group operations. Additionally, Isuzu has supported the Keidanren Declaration for Biodiversity since January 2020.

Basic Vision

We, the Isuzu Group, understand the relationship all of our business activities have with the ecosystem.
We support action that helps achieve a sustainable society through a harmony of business activities and biodiversity.

Action Guidelines

  • Each employee learns and has an understanding that our business activities are enabled by biodiversity and at the same time, are affecting it.
  • We engage in activities that reduce our impact on biodiversity and protect it in all of our business activities.
  • We protect biodiversity from a global perspective, taking into account the diversity of local communities.
  • We promote cooperation and collaboration with our stakeholders in order to improve our conservation activities.
  • We contribute to local communities, placing valuing on communication and cooperation with stakeholders through disclosing information on activities and other initiatives.

Initiatives

Assessment of Dependency on and Impact on Nature

Isuzu uses the tool ENCORE*1 to understand the extent of our dependence on and impact on nature. We have assessed these dependencies and impacts throughout our value chain and created a heatmap. Moving forward, we will advance the evaluation of risks and opportunities related to natural capital based on these results and our business operations.

For raw material procurement, we will enhance engagement with our business partners through communication on reducing environmental impact and GHG emissions. For manufacturing and use, we aim to reduce risks and seize opportunities through initiatives aligned with our 2030 Environmental Roadmap.
