Despite efforts to implement preventive measures in response to certain quality-related issues that have occurred since 2000, we deeply regret having again betrayed the trust of stakeholders. Since the improper testing of fuel consumption conducted at our development division became evident, we recognized the urgent need to carry out a drastic reorganization of the division and its operations. In specific terms, and based on the results of an internal investigation, steps were taken to put in place preventive measures. Moreover, Mitsuhiko Yamashita - who recently joined Mitsubishi Motors from Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., as Executive Vice President and head of the Company’s development division - took the initiative to spearhead the recently established Structure Reform Office and to implement measures aimed at preventing any recurrence of misconduct. Complementing the Company’s internal endeavors, steps were also taken to set up a Special Investigation Committee comprised entirely of outside experts. This Committee found that the problem extended beyond the development function and was endemic to the Company as a whole. In addition, certain external authorities concerned commented on a lack of top management control. Taking into account these comments from outside the Company, the management and employees of Mitsubishi Motors will work in unison to change the Company’s mindset and will spare no effort to create a corporate culture that will never allow this misconduct to happen again. Together with various reforms to the Company’s development operations, energies are being directed toward reforming and strengthening the Company’s internal control and governance systems. At the same time, particular emphasis is being placed on promoting increased awareness toward compliance through employee education and training while reviewing Companywide organizational structures and operating processes. Prioritizing Corporate Social Responsibility Having tarnished our reputation on more than one occasion, it is vital that we deliver genuine value while restoring our status as an integral member of society in order to regain the trust of stakeholders. In addition to fulfilling our corporate social responsibility, it is therefore imperative that we help to resolve the wide-ranging challenges that society continues to face through our car manufacturing activities. Our core business activity of the development and manufacture of vehicles is related to a wide and diverse range of social issues such as: ・ human and worker rights centered mainly on emerging countries, ・ the impact of burgeoning resource and energy demand on the environment, ・ progression of global warming, as well as ・ social issues stemming from population growth and the acceleration of urbanization. Taking into consideration the universal and urgent nature of these issues that confront the global community, Mitsubishi Motors is increasingly being called on to contribute its fair share and to provide solutions that help realize a sustainable society. For example, looking at the forecast growth in automobile use in emerging countries - an area in which the Company is especially strong - the need to reduce the impact that automobiles have on the environment is becoming increasingly evident. Recognizing the need to address this concern at an early stage, Mitsubishi Motors has continued to contribute to the global environment by developing a wide range of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles (EV/PHEVs). Moving forward, the Company will work diligently to reduce the impact of automobiles on the environment by accelerating its research and development endeavors on eco-friendly EV/PHEVs and promoting fuel efficiency through improvements in engines, transmissions and other components. ー4ー At the same time, Mitsubishi Motors is fully cognizant of the need to maintain a heightened awareness toward societal concerns and reducing the impact of its business activities on the environment as a part of efforts to fulfill its corporate social responsibility. Rather than work on its own, the Company is actively seeking the support of business partners. Coordinating with suppliers, we are placing considerable weight on the “clean procurement” of components and raw materials based on proprietary supplier CSR guidelines as well as eco-friendly procurement guidelines. As we continue to engage in CSR activities, we are becoming increasingly aware of the need to cooperate with business partners including suppliers and dealerships, as well as our employees. Accordingly, we are endeavoring to develop close-knit ties with business partners while positioning efforts aimed at contributing to society as a common goal. Through these means, we are focusing on measures that help realize mutual harmony and benefit. Also, we will work with
