Vision
Nissan: Enriching people’s lives
Mission
Nissan provides unique and innovative automotive
products and services that deliver superior measurable
values to all stakeholders* in alliance with Renault.
*Our stakeholders include customers, shareholders, employees, dealers,
suppliers, as well as the communities where we work and operate.
This Annual Report contains forward-looking
statements on Nissan’s future plans and targets, and
related operating investment, product planning and
production targets. Please note that there can be no
assurance that these targets and plans will actually
be achieved. Achieving them will depend on many
factors, including not only Nissan’s activities and
development, but on the dynamics of the automobile
industry worldwide and the global economy.
