Purchasing
Striving for environmentally responsible
purchasing of materials and parts
An automobile is made of some 20,000 to 30,000 parts, many of which
are purchased from suppliers. This means the cooperation of suppliers is
essential to the effort to minimize our environmental impact throughout
the product life cycle. As part of our initiative to ensure that the purchasing
of materials and parts is conducted in accordance with Honda’s principles
of environmental conservation, we formulated the Honda Green
Purchasing Guidelines. We are also encouraging suppliers to achieve
ISO 14001 certification. Strengthening ties with trusted partners, we're
working proactively to achieve environmentally responsible purchasing.
