Ruggedness, versatility and a low impact on the
environment have long made Subaru vehicles the
choice of drivers who want to enjoy the beauty of
the natural world. By reducing pollutants during
the production process and creating efficient,
low-emission vehicles, Subaru works to protect
that beauty and the earth we all share.
For select Forester, Legacy and Outback
models, the SmartWay mark is based on
the vehicle’s officially certified exhaust
emissions and greenhouse gas scores.

Zero Landfill
In 2004, Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA) became the
first manufacturing facility in the U.S. to reach zero landfill
status—nothing from its manufacturing efforts ever goes
into a landfill. What’s more, Subaru facilities in Japan have
achieved similar goals in reusing and recycling industrial
waste, as well as greatly reducing carbon emissions.
Protecting Wildlife
In 2003, SIA became the first U.S. automotive assembly
plant to be designated a wildlife habitat. Subaru shares
the site with numerous natural residents including deer,
blue herons and beavers.
Low Emissions
The Forester is one of the few SUVs to achieve Partial Zero
Emission Vehicle (PZEV)
1
status. It achieves this recognition for
cleanliness and efficiency without the negative environmental
impact required to manufacture some high-efficiency systems,
and without compromising performance and versatility.
