Promotion System

In 1993, Nissan established the EnvironmentManagement Committee, chaired by our ExecutiveVice President of Research and Development, todevelop company-wide policies and goals and toassess and confirm our progress in the area ofenvironmental management. In 2003, thecommittee expanded its scope internationally andbecame the Global Environmental ManagementCommittee, chaired by our Chief Operating Officer.

Goals for the environmental managementsystems of individual divisions are formulated underthe guidance of the Global EnvironmentManagement Committee, with each divisionpromoting activities aimed at attaining its owndivisional targets.

In addition, the production division instituted aglobal management system to regulateenvironmental data from all our production sites andenable coordinated environmental actions aroundthe world. In Fiscal 2005, we started an ongoingprogram of liaison meetings of environmentalmanagers from core production sites.

Environmental Management SystemOperation and Auditing

In our mission to promote activities that reduceenvironmental impact, we have steadily advancedefforts to obtain ISO14001 certification. All of ourdomestic production plants and business sites aswell as major overseas plants have receivedISO14001 certification. In addition, our productdevelopment processes are also certified andimplement concepts and product specifications toreduce environmental impact from the earliestproduct planning stages to the final designs.

We conduct internal environmental audits andindependent third-party audits to ensure the EMSis operating as intended, verify ongoingimprovement, and confirm that each organization isin compliance with our environmental policies andtargets. For the internal audits, we engageindependent environmental auditors to conductobjective system audits to verify the EMS operatingstatus and environmental performance audits toconfirm the effectiveness of the system.

Enhancing Risk Management

We have taken proactive measures to be preparedfor environmental accidents and otheremergencies, including steps to prevent theoccurrence of such accidents as well as employeetraining based on emergency response manualsissued by Nissan. Parallel to this training, we keepall employees up-to-date on the processes andprocedures used to report such occurrences to theproper authorities.

Along with the periodic environmentalperformance audits of our plants and businesssites, we also conduct environmental accidentresponse drills as outlined in our emergencyresponse manuals. Every year, we conduct accidentresponse drills simulating an oil or chemical spill ata water treatment facility, a leak at a fueling station,and other potential emergency situations.

Nissan places special emphasis on open andregular communication with the local residents ofthe communities where it has plants or businesssites. This helps local residents more fullyunderstand the details of our business activitiesand the risk management systems we have inplace. This commitment includes the scheduling ofpublic discussions on the various environmentalpreservation activities and other specific steps thatwe undertake at individual business sites.

The Nissan group continues to promote and advance its environmental protection activities. We upgradedand further established our environmental organizational structure, and constructed and commencedoperation of the EMS. We are also fortifying our risk management for emergency situations including ouremergency response skills in the case of an environmental accident.

Environmental Report

Nissan’s environmental communication activitieswere elevated in 1998 with the publication of theannual “Environmental Report” and furtherenhanced in 2004 with the annual “SustainabilityReport.” In addition, since 2001 each of our plantsand business sites has issued an individual “SiteEnvironmental Report” to local residents and plantvisitors. Our “Environmental Report” and“Sustainability Report” publications have beenhonored with numerous awards for superiorenvironmental communication.

In 2003, we hosted a “Environmental ReportWorkshop” and in 2006 held an “EnvironmentalCommunication Meeting” to discuss and exchangeviews on environmental communications and ourinformation disclosure activities. These meetingshave been invaluable in helping us continue toimprove our communications.

In Fiscal 2006, we integrated the “EnvironmentalReport” into the “Sustainability Report” and set up awebsite to report environmental issues faced by ourbusiness operations and provide detailedenvironmental data. The aim is to provide moreextensive and flexible reporting, and we intend tocontinue to develop the website as a coreinformation source.

NGP2005 Objectives

Nissan implements technical standards to exercise effective global control over the “environment-impactingsubstances” contained in parts and other components procured from external sources. Additionally, werequest all suppliers in Japan adhere to our “Nissan Green Procurement Standards” and submitenvironment-impacting substance data reports, establish environmental management systems, and specifytheir environmental representatives.

At Nissan, we believe it is important for all our employees have a deep understanding of global environmentissues and Nissan’s role in environmental preservation. We have established employee education coursesto promote understanding of environmental issues.

Environment-impacting Substance Data Reports

Nissan requires all suppliers submit data onsubstances identified as producing an environmentalimpact. For parts and materials (oils, paints,chemicals, etc.), this data is used to confirm that nosubstances banned under Nissan standards arepresent. This procedure also enables us to identify inthe early development stage any materials thatrequire caution and enables us to focus ondeveloping appropriate alternative technologies.

We have conducted thorough inspections of ournew models and future models currently underdevelopment based on the environment-impactingsubstance data reports received from suppliers. Wealso began compiling a database of theenvironment-impacting substances used in vehicleparts to streamline and improve the efficiency of ourinspection and control processes.

Environmental Management System Establishment

Nissan had requested its suppliers to establish

environmental management systems by March2003 and work voluntarily to obtain ISO14001certification by March 2005. All of our suppliers inJapan complied with the first request and, as ofMarch 2005, over 95% of our all of our suppliershad obtained certification either under ISO14001or the Japanese Eco Action 21 environmentalassessment program of the Japanese Ministry ofthe Environment.

Environmental RepresentativeIdentification

We have asked our suppliers to clearly specify their environmental representatives in order toensure smooth and reliable information about ourenvironmental conservation measures. Nissanreciprocates by providing information on ourenvironmental conservation measures and theenvironmental impact of our products. In this way,we create a two-way dialogue of informationsharing that forms a foundation for a mutualawareness of environmental issues and strategies.

Green Purchasing

We conduct our office supply procurementactivities with special consideration for theenvironment. Purchasing of office supplies andrecycled paper, for example, is regulated by aspecific manual on the use of recycle paper. Greenpurchasing is also a key factor when we selectcompany vehicles and a main factor in our activeintroduction of low-emission vehicles andcompressed natural gas (CNG) buses.

Energy and Natural Resource Savings

We have also implemented measures to limitenergy consumption in our offices, includingmaintaining balanced air conditioner temperatures,switching off lights during lunchtime and afterbusiness hours, turning off equipment while not in use, and utilizing energy saving officeautomation equipment.

To limit our consumption of paper, we havereduced the number of pages printed or copiedand progressed toward a paperless workplaceusing intranet and on-line conferencing tools. InFiscal 2005, these efforts enabled the NissanMotor Co., Ltd. to decrease the volume of paperpurchased for office use by 21,300kg from theprior year. In addition, it is standard practice in our offices to separate used materials intorecycling categories.
