“Staying close to our customers and enriching their lives”
Under that corporate philosophy, Daihatsu says it will continue to provide affordable and high-quality small vehicles that are useful for customers' lives. At the same time, the company says it will promote initiatives to address social issues such as respect for human rights and environmental conservation. By contributing to a sustainable society, Daihatsu says it aims to be a company chosen by its customers, business partners and society.
Previously from Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd.
Daihatsu's sustainability reporting covers its social-contribution activity, and our earlier coverage shows the company has already been active on that front: it said it would donate 10 vehicles — including a refrigerated truck for cold water and rest areas — plus 5 million yen to help areas hit by the 2026 Kumamoto Earthquake.

Why this matters
The report is how Daihatsu presents its environmental, social and governance work to customers, business partners and society, and this edition gives a public view of the people behind its newest commercial BEVs. It also signals the company's stated priorities — affordable small vehicles, human rights and environmental conservation — to the workers, suppliers and buyers tied to its mini-vehicle business.
