Mazda's efforts at self-policing/self-reporting continue today with the release of the company's 2008 Social and Environmental Report (SER). Mazda, like many other automakers, has been releasing these annual reports since 2001, and they are a broad look at how the company as a whole is doing with its attempts at making greener vehicles.
The SER discusses Mazda's plan to increase the average fuel economy of all Mazda vehicles sold around the world by 30 percent by 2015. The report also describes Mazda's participation in the Norweigan hydrogen progect HyNor, where Mazda has sent RX 8 Hydrogen RE vehicles. The "Social" part of the title means that Mazda's support of human rights in the workplace is also covered. Mazda also issued its Annual Report 2008, focusing on management information and financial news, today.
The full SER 2008 will be available in English at the end of September, but the Annual Report is currently available on the Mazda website. A web version of the SER is also available now. Full details after the jump.
