Love. It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.
The earth isn’t disposable.
Neither is a Subaru.
The Legacy is designed for maximum enjoyment out on the road,
but at Subaru, we put just as much emphasis on minimizing what we
leave behind. First, we build vehicles for maximum durability, because
more time spent on the road is less time in a landfill. It’s why 95% of
the vehicles we’ve built in the last 10 years are still on the road today.

We also work diligently to cut waste before the car ever rolls out of the
factory. In 2004, Subaru of Indiana Automotive, Inc. (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. Subaru
facilities in Japan have achieved similar goals in reusing and recycling.
And, because clear skies are just as important as clean landscapes,
the Legacy has been recognized with Partial Zero Emission Vehicle—
PZEV

—status. It achieves such cleanliness without the negative
environmental impact required to manufacture many vehicles with
battery-based drive systems, and without compromising performance
and versatility.

keep it cleaner and greener.
