Subaru, a Japanese automobile manufacturing company, sells cars all over the world. In recent years, the company has been hit by repeated scandals. First, it was revealed that uncertified workers had been submitting final inspection reports for the vehicles sold in Japan. Along with faulty inspections, the company also said that some employees have been manipulating fuel economy data during final inspections for several years. Subaru admitted that it was possible that employees were instructed by managers to manipulate the data so as to avoid questions from senior management.

The company’s profits since then have declined by 21%, and they have been forced to recall thousands of cars from the market.

"Subaru's management and employees will work collectively to restore lost trust and ensure that such circumstances do not recur," the company said in a report.
