Mazda Social Contribution Prize

In January 2015, Mazda established the Mazda Social Contribution Prize as a commendation system to recognize outstanding social contribution activities. The objective of the prize is to raise in/external recognition of the outstanding social contribution activities and support for increasing excellent social contribution activities.

Based on the evaluation indexes for social contribution programs, members of the Social Contribution Committee Working Group, the Mazda Workers' Union and the Federation of All Mazda Workers' Unions collaborate to evaluate candidate activities. The Social Contribution Committee then selects prizewinning activities, each of which will be presented with a certificate of recognition in the name of the Company President on the anniversary of Mazda's foundation in January every year.
