11、vide to our customers and society as we strive together to empower mobility and beyond.We are delivering exciting vehicles and technologies that empower customer journeys and,through various collaborations,we are building a smart ecosystem to empower society.One of the most pressing challenges we fa

12、ce globally is climate change.At Nissan,we aim to achieve carbon neutrality across all operations and the lifecycle of our products by 2050,and electrification is a fundamental pillar of our strategy towards it.In 2021,we introduced Nissan Ambition 2030,our long-term vision to realize a cleaner,safe

13、r,and more inclusive society.We outlined our electrified vehicle goals and market-specific electrification targets.In February this year,we announced that we would be accelerating this with new models and sales targets to meet growing customer needs.We are also working to develop driver assistance a

14、nd vehicle intelligence technologies to reduce fatalities as well as empower society by providing mobility choices.Additionally,Nissan has endorsed the United Nations Global Compact on sustainable and socially responsible initiatives,and our strategy aligns us with the UN Sustainable Development Goa

15、ls.Participation in initiatives such as these hold us accountable,serving as a reminder as to what we should achieve and how we must actively play our part.Mitigating risks in Nissans own operations and across our global supply chains is also integral.Respecting human rights is fundamental and we ha

16、ve a zero-tolerance policy on human rights violations.This belief is also clearly reflected in the Nissan Human Rights Policy Statement in accordance with the United Nation Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.Additionally,our Global Code of Conduct sets the standard for our actions as a

17、global company of influence.Instilling a rigorous governance system is essential to maintain organizational integrity.Our three statutory committeesNomination Committee,Compensation Committee,and Audit Committeeprovide oversight and transparency in decision-making.What is critical is ensuring that t

18、he frameworks are effective.To that end,we continue to seriously reflect on past incidents to improve our governance practices.I strongly believe that people are Nissans greatest asset.It is my priority to ensure that all employees feel empowered,supported,and can be their authentic selves at work.T

19、o do so,we promote diversity,equity,and inclusion as a key part of our culture,and we are proud that more than 100 nationalities are represented within our global workforce.Although diverse,we are united in our purpose.Working toward these ambitions is no small undertaking,and some of these challeng

20、es cant be addressed by Nissan alone.Carrying out initiatives with our partners,who know their markets and have expertise in each area,will allow us to provide high value to customers and make a difference to the world.For nearly nine decades,we have done what others dont dare to do.Nissan has gone

21、through many periods of change and evolution.Today,it is more important than ever that our corporate purpose is embedded in all our endeavors to build a more sustainable organization that is truly needed by customers and society.I am confident we will continue to drive innovation,empower mobility,an

24、ponent of Nissans foundation and culture.It is vital for Nissan to contribute to the creation of a cleaner,safer,more inclusive world.Everything we have done is with respect for the environment,people,society and future generations under the sustainability strategy“Nissan Sustainability 2022”.As we

25、formulate sustainability strategies,we discussed societal and environmental issues and have identified 21 material areas among our ESG factors where Nissan must address.Demonstrating our commitment to prioritizing ESG at a strategic level,these areas are closely tracked by executive members and Boar

26、d of Directors.Addressing climate change is a key priority.At Nissan,we aim to become carbon neutral across all operations and product lifecycles by 2050.Our midterm environmental action plan,the Nissan Green Program 2022(NGP2022)which will be renewed this year outlined goals to reduce emissions in

27、addition to air quality,resource dependency,and water scarcity,which remain key focus areas for Nissan.In fiscal year 2022,we have reduced 41.2%of CO emissions from new cars(vs fiscal year 2000),and 27.7%of CO emission from corporate activities(vs fiscal year 2005).By 2030,we plan to introduce 27 ne

29、e supply and demand to the power grid that will come with the projected sharp increase in the adoption of electric vehicles.To accelerate these efforts,we launched the strategic sustainable finance framework in 2022.This new framework will enable material fundraising efforts for accelerating Nissans

30、 innovations in next-generation electrified vehicles,batteries,environmental technologies,and new mobility services.We are proud to have received an A list from the global environmental NGO CDP for water security in 2022 for the fourth consecutive year and leadership(A/A-)for climate change for ten

31、successive years.Participating in the Race to Zero campaign supported by the United Nations helps keep us accountable on our quantitative goals.Nissan conducts its business activities with a constant awareness of societys needs.We have set six key areas in social dimension-traffic safety,DEI(diversi

32、ty,equity and inclusion),quality,supply chain,employees and community engagement.Through materiality assessment,we have designated human rights,fundamental principle to everything we do,as a material factor that must be addressed judiciously.Accordingly,we conduct human rights assessments as part of

33、 a due diligence process to ensure practices operated by Nissan as well as our partners globally.As we continue to evolve,there remains much to address in terms of conducting business through a holistically sustainable lens.We are getting ready to announce the new sustainability strategy including o

36、eThe Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance is one of the worlds leading automotive alliances.Through a creative cooperation business model,the Alliance aims at enhancing the competitiveness and profitability of each of the member companies by capitalizing on individual companys strengths and complement

37、ing their strategies.In 2020,Nissan started its transformation journey with the Nissan NEXT plan and took a visionary step with Nissan Ambition 2030 to set a north star for its business,with the Alliance positioned as a key pillar.However,the environment surrounding the company is changing dramatica

38、lly.The company needed to adopt to the new reality and urgently address the issues with agility-whether climate change,geo-political scenarios,raw material hikes,or fragmentation of markets.Hence,there was a need to move to the next level of transformation,even at the level of the Alliance.At a pres

39、s conference in London in February 2023,the leaders of Nissan,Renault and Mitsubishi Motors unveiled steps in three areas to extend collaboration in growth markets,in electrification and next-generation technologies,which will complement the delivery of Nissan Ambition 2030.The first area is high-va

40、lue-creation operational projects in Latin America,India and Europe.The high value initiatives will enable each company to fast-track innovations,improve cost-efficiency and add value.Already,we are seeing the fruits of our revamped partnership in the form of Nissan and Renault announcing a new long

41、-term vision for India later in February.This initiative will see an initial investment of around US$600m and will support increasing production and R&D activities,introducing electric vehicles,and transitioning to carbon-neutral manufacturing.This will result in the creation of 2,000 new jobs at th

42、e Renault Nissan Technology&Business Centre in Chennai.Second,the partners aim to enhance strategic agility with new initiatives that partners can join.While Nissan continues to support customers in accelerating the adoption of electrified mobility,the speed of electrification and customer acceptanc

43、e differs from market to market.Nissan has disclosed its intention to invest up to15%in Ampere,Renault Groups EV&Software entity to support its robust electrification strategy in Europe.Ampere would be an enabler for Nissan to participate in a project creating new business opportunities in Europe,pr

246、 sector was impacted and the timeline,items with a more substantial impact were screened from the main drivers.Changes,conditions,and effects were adjusted in each scenario to provide guidance based on qualitative evaluation of the elements necessary for enhancing strategies.As a global automobile c

272、educing CO emissions and realizing the practical use of electrification technologies.As a global automaker,Nissan considers emissions across the entire value chain it shares with its suppliers,from procurement of raw materials to transportation and operation of vehicles.We understand how important i

273、t is to balance environmental initiatives with business activities,and strive to reduce emissions through new technology developments,renewable energy use,and other measures.Product and corporate activity initiativesClimate change also greatly heightens customer needs for energy-efficient mobility.W

274、e aim to those needs by clearing stringent CO emissions regulations,as outlined in the Nissan NEXT*1 transformation plan calling for annual aggregate sales of 1 million 100%EV and e-POWER vehicles by fiscal 2023.We will further promote global activities targeting carbon neutrality in 2050,aiming for

275、 100%electrification by the early 2030s in key markets.In our corporate activities,we will actively advance energy-saving measures,shifting to climate-efficient logistics and introducing renewable energy sources.We will realize a carbon-neutral future by promoting the electrification of automobiles

276、and pursuing the sustainability of our business activities in line with the expansion of renewable energy and charging infrastructure in society.In addition,Nissan has established a medium-term environmental action plan NGP2022*2 as its strategy,which runs through 2022,and has developed various futu

280、izing that this would require drastic reduction of“well-to-wheel”CO emissions from new vehicles,we set about developing a new scenario for powertrain technologies.Additionally,under the Nissan Green Program 2022(NGP2022),to remain on track with the 2050 target,we aimed to reduce CO emissions from ne

281、w vehicles by 40%compared to fiscal 2000 by 2022(in Japan,the U.S.,Europe and China).As a global leader in technological advancements through the electrification of our products,we believe we can substantially contribute to global efforts to keep the temperature increase“well below”2C.These initiati

282、ves also reinforce the sustainability of our own business.Although NGP2022 has achieved a certain success,the IPCCs Special Report published in 2018 pointed out the impact of 1.5C of global warming and related global greenhouse gas(GHG)emission pathways on the Earth as a whole.Furthermore,government
