At Subaru, we believe what we leave behind reflects who we are. That’s why for over two decades, Subaru has been committed to leaving a legacy of protecting and conserving the Earth for future generations. Along with our retailers across the country, Subaru works to reduce waste, conserve resources, and preserve natural spaces — taking real, meaningful steps to achieve these goals.
All Subaru products are manufactured in zero-landfill plants, and Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc., is the only U.S. automobile production plant to be designated a backyard wildlife habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.
In 2026, we continued our partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation™. Since the program began last year, Subaru and our retailers have provided and distributed 165,000 regionally appropriate trees nationwide. Subaru is proud to establish the largest corporate community tree distribution ever, leveraging our network of retailers to get trees into communities across the country.
Through this and other Subaru Loves the Earth initiatives, Subaru and our retailers have helped distribute and plant over 1.1 million trees.

Eco-Friendly Retailer Program
Across the country, many retailers have received a certification in our Eco-Friendly Retailer Program. What does this mean? The Subaru Eco-Friendly Retailer Program is a voluntary environmental program designed for retailers who want to make a positive impact on their community and local environment. This comprehensive program helps Subaru retailers minimize environmental impact by focusing on reduced energy consumption. The program focuses on five key areas of a facility: energy efficiency, water conservation, recycling, waste management, and community involvement. For example, Subaru retailers look to reduce water consumption by installing low-flow fixtures and a water-efficient car wash. Simultaneously, we ensure our eco-friendly retailers practice proper disposal of harmful waste, including oil, coolant, batteries, and tires. Our partner Green Dealer Support concluded an onsite inspection to make sure these retailers adhere to the requirements. We honor the stores that have been awarded the Eco-Friendly Retailer Program Certification as they work toward sustainability and doing right by our planet. Check your local retailer’s website for an Eco-Friendly Retailer Certification badge.
