Subaru Corporation Announces Organizational and Management Changes

(Effective April 1, 2025)

Subaru Corporation announces the following organizational and management changes, effective April 1, 2025. In the rapidly and non-linearly changing business environment, Subaru is committed to achieving "Manufacturing Innovation" and "Value Creation" as a top priority, as outlined in the New Management Policy announced in August 2023. The company will reorganize its organizational structure to enable the execution of bold initiatives, free from the constraints of traditional functions and roles within the existing organization, while enhancing its executive management structure.

1. Organizational Changes

(1) Establishment of Chief Logistics Officer (CLO) and the Logistics Division

The company will newly establish the Chief Logistics Officer (CLO) position to respond swiftly and flexibly to changes in the environment surrounding the supply chain and accelerate the realization of "Monozukuri (Manufacturing) Innovation." In addition, the company will establish the Logistics Division by integrating the logistics-related functions of the Monozukuri Division and each of the regional sales divisions. This aims to strengthen and optimize logistics-related functions and build a structure that responds to various logistics challenges in an optimal manner with a company-wide perspective.

(2) Establishment of the Customer First Innovation Division

In order to further enhance the customer experience value, which is the source of "Value Creation," the Customer Service Division, Quality Assurance Division, and Parts and Accessories Division will be integrated to establish the Customer First Innovation Division.

1. Reorganization of the Sales Organization (Establishment of the Overseas Sales & Marketing Division and the Global Sales & Marketing Strategy Office)
   In order to optimize the allocation of resources in the overseas sales organization and further improve business efficiency with the aim of enhancing the competitiveness of Subaru's overseas business, the Overseas Sales & Marketing Division will be established by integrating the Overseas Sales & Marketing Division 1 and the Overseas Sales & Marketing Division 2. In addition, the Global Sales & Marketing Strategy Office will be newly established with the aim of further strengthening overseas sales & marketing functions through initiatives including the development of optimal strategies from a medium- to long-term, global, and company-wide perspective.
