The calculation of Suzuki’s Sustainable Value is limited to the company’s Japanese production facilities. Data series for the resources NOx and SOx emissions and waste generation are either incomplete or missing entirely; the number of work accidents for Suzuki is not considered. The figure below shows the value contributions of the resources considered as well as the Sustainable Value and Sustainable Value Margin of Suzuki for the period 1999-2005.
Value contributions, Sustainable Value and Sustainable Value Margin of Suzuki
Over the review period Suzuki’s Sustainable Value improved from -58 million € (1999) to 162 million € (2005). After rising to 182 million € (2001) in the first half of the review period, the Sustainable Value has been relatively steady in subsequent years. One point worth noting is that the only negative value contributions came from VOC emissions in 1999 and 2000, and also from water consumption (except for 2001). Otherwise value contributions were generally positive for all the remaining indicators.
With a Sustainable Value Margin between -0.47% (1999) and 1.44% (2003), Suzuki is ranked in the top of the mid-field. One interesting aberration is the opposite trends seen in the absolute Sustainable Value and the Sustainable Value Margin during the period 2001-2003. In this case falling sales has a stronger impact on the Sustainable Value Margin than the slight dip in the absolute Sustainable Value.
