Honda Environmental Annual Report

Expansion of Environmental Commitment to the Motorcycle and Power Products Areas
1.Motorcycles

 1) Distributor
The Osaka Branch of Honda Motorcycle Japan underwent a renewal inspection for the first time after acquiring ISO 14001 certification. On January 15, 2004, the certification was renewed. In the third year after being certified, the motorcycle company established a 5%-reduction target in energy consumption and waste generation from the previous year’s level. The company’s performance in reducing energy consumption and waste generation far exceeded its target. This commendable performance was possible because the company’s employees were encouraged to be more environment-conscious and reduce costs.
 2) Dealers
In March 2002, we opened Honda Dream Tachikawa in Tachikawa City, Tokyo, as the first Honda Dream Store, which is a new type of store for sports bikes. With the opening of this store, we started the development of Green Dealers for motorcycles.
Aiming to establish a network of as many as 200 Honda Dream Stores throughout Japan, we opened six stores in fiscal 2003 (17 in total). In fiscal 2004, we will accelerate the expansion of the Honda Dream Store network to satisfy the needs of many more customers and in parallel with the promotion of the Green Dealer System.

2. Power Products

In fiscal 2003, under the theme of reducing environmental impact, we were determined to make our dealers the best green dealers in the industry and encouraged them to issue manifests concerning the disposal of industrial waste as well as to recycle packaging materials. In fiscal 2003, two companies began efforts to acquire Green Dealer certification. Thirty dealers introduced the manifest system (64 dealers in total). To promote the recycling of packaging materials, 150 of our dealers, including sales offices for power products, began attaching the recycling mark to the cardboard used for external packages and plastic containers used for internal packages. We will implement more measures to expand the number of Green Dealers and encourage our 100 dealers for power products to issue manifests.
