Environmental Communication |

As an integral part of our environmental
management commitment, we are engaged in a wide range of communication
activities to enhance mutual understanding between ourselves
and our stakeholders, including our customers and the local
communities where our factories and offices are located.
Moreover, we provide a range of environmental information
to the general public through various media and the Internet. |

set up based on the environmental management system to coordinate

3. Risk Communication
Meeting
|
|
In
March 2004, Honda’s Saitama Factory implemented
a model project on risk communication in chemical substances
in cooperation with the Saitama prefectural government
to provide local residents with information on the factory’s
environmental conservation activities, including measures
to reduce environmental risks, and to deepen mutual
understanding and trust.
As a means of active disclosure, Honda and the Saitama
prefectural government jointly held a risk communication
meeting under the main theme of reducing environmental
risks caused by chemical substances. This meeting was
attended by 80 people from community associations, NPOs,
and enterprises in the neighborhood of Saitama Factory.
This meeting contributed to deepening mutual understanding
and trust between Honda and participants over the factory’s
environmental conservation activities, including measures
to reduce environmental risks. |
