The three-step approach is: 1. Educate farmers about alternative practices that need fewer inputs to produce higher quality and yield. The aim was to involve 500 farmers initially, to demonstrate the benefits. 2. Engage participating farmers as ambassadors for change, encouraging others to adopt similar practices. 3. Drive wide-scale adoption through peer-to-peer outreach to farmers outside the RPL-supported program. Mars conducted a baseline assessment of current farming practices in conjunction with Rice Partners Ltd., International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and Helvetas. This assessment was audited under the Sustainable Rice Platform standard. The expected results from the program are a 30% reduction in water use, effectively decreasing sensitivity to droughts and other climatological factors. In the long run, we expect a total saving of 1.5 billion m3 of water. The program has grown from 31 farmers in 2011 to 425 famers in 2015. We hope that by 2018, 15,000 (2% of basmati farmers) will implement the new techniques, and 700,000 by 2021. The program is also expected to lead to a 50% or greater reduction in greenhouse gases and a 30% increase in farmers’ net income. Mars Food is a member of the Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP). With partners including IRRI and Helvetas, we have identified water efficiency further practices in line with the SRP standard. These will initially be implemented by around 500 farmers in Pakistan, and we are looking to roll them out and embed the SRP standard into all of our rice supply chains.

However it is not necessary for the investment of facilities.Mazda is developing strong supply chain which can avoid critical troubles for Mazda's operations even if some suppliers are damaged. Therefore Mazda is presently upgrading and expanding its business continuity plan (BCP) in order to prepare for risks and avoid long-term suspension of business that would extensively impact society. For the procedures when suppliers are affected by disasters, Mazda has compiled the Risk Management Procedures for Affected Suppliers. Based on this, Mazda is strengthening partnerships with suppliers in building a response system, making an initial response, and providing restoration assistance. Learning from lessons during the Great East Japan Earthquake when it required a certain period of time to grasp the overall situation of the entire supply chain, Mazda has clarified the necessary scope of information collection and has enhanced the amount of information collected to realize a prompt and timely communication with all parties in the entire supply chain. Mazda will continue to improve communication with all parties concerned in the whole supply chain.Regarding the choice of country, as there is only one choice, "Japan" is selected. However the above mentioned initiatives are not only the case in Japan. The same initiatives are implemented globally.

Description

CDP's water program motivates companies to disclose and reduce their environmental impacts by using the power of investors and customers. The data CDP collects help influential decision makers to reduce risk, capitalize on opportunities and drive action towards a more sustainable world. This dataset comes from question W3.2d asking companies to list the inherent water risks that could generate a substantive change in their business, operations, revenue or expenditure, the potential impact to their supply chain and the strategies to mitigate them.
