Did you know Subaru is committed to protecting our Earth through their comprehensive Subaru Loves the Earth initiative, which focuses on reducing waste, safeguarding resources to benefit our future and preserving natural land? Subaru manufacturers and dealers work together to diminish environmental harm by limiting energy consumption around the world. They do so by concentrating on five primary areas: National Park Preservation, Recycling, Environment Training, Landfills, and National Wildfire Prevention. “At Subaru, we feel it’s our personal responsibility to protect Earth’s natural wonders and encourage our retailers and customers to engage in smart environmental practices, simply because it’s the right thing to do,” said Subaru of America, Inc. President and CEO Tom Doll. Subaru has partnered with five national organizations to make this happen: National Park Foundation, Terracycle, Leave No Trace, National Parks Conservation Association and National Forest Foundation.

Subaru is the largest corporate donor to the National Park Foundation, which protects wildlife and park lands, preserves history and culture and educates youth. They’ve helped protect over 400 national parks, like Yosemite, Denali, and Grand Teton, through their Don’t Feed the Landfills Zero-Landfill Initiative that they started in 2014. So far, they’ve eliminated over 17 million pounds of waste from landfills, saving almost $12 million, and provided more than $63 million to national park organizations. Since 1999, Subaru has traveled to 49 states to teach about the importance of saving the planet.

Subaru partnered with TerraCycle® to recycle hard-to-recycle trash such as disposable cups, lids, and straws by placing Zero Waste Boxes™ in all participating Subaru stores. Trash is being transformed into useful goods that benefit communities, like park benches, bike racks, picnic tables and flowerpots. Through Subaru’s Park Garden for Good, more than 70 Subaru volunteers grow organic produce for local food pantries in Pennsylvania. In 2021 alone, about 2,000 pounds of fresh produce was produced for local food banks.

Subaru has certified more than a third of Subaru retailers as Eco-Friendly by having them meet five requirements: energy efficiency, water conservation, recycling, waste management, and environmentally focused community involvement.

Subaru plans to expand their environmental impact in the years to come by promoting outdoor programs to increase national park awareness and visitors, increasing park technology and innovation by incorporating electric vehicles in national parks, and providing funding to increase the expansion of recycling and waste reduction. Furthermore, they will continue to work towards manufacturing all Subaru Gear entirely at a zero-waste-to-landfill facility and reduce carbon emissions from production by making 100 percent recycled apparel, packaging in recycled boxes, and using 100 percent renewable energy.

As part of Subaru’s efforts to be more environmentally friendly, they’ve produced their first fully electric vehicle in 2021, the Subaru Solterra, an SUV with new zero-emissions technology and industry-leading safety. Their objective is to 100 percent electrify its vehicles by 2035.
