Mitsubishi Motors Corporation recognises that the protection of the global environment is a priority for all humanity.

The company is fully committed to reducing the environmental impact at each stage of a vehicle’s life cycle. That begins at the drawing board and continues throughout its production, its use by the customer and beyond its working life.

Mitsubishi has also adopted a global perspective in the way it conducts its business and constantly works to shrink the environmental footprint left by all activities from development, procurement, production, sales and aftersales servicing of vehicles.

Mitsubishi Motors’ Environment Initiative Programme (EIP) 2010 is a four-year plan for the direction of the corporation’s environmental policy. Published in 2006, it follows on from the Environment Sustainability Plan (ESP), which ran from 2002-05.

The programme reflects the requirements of the 2005 Kyoto Protocol, of which New Zealand is a signatory, and other increasingly stringent regulations and legislation introduced in Japan, North America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia.
