The Honda Environment Statement
Honda has long been committed to environmental
conservation. In the 1990s we strengthened our organizational
structure and released the Honda Environment
Statement to clearly define our approach to environmental
issues. We have continued to strengthen our
environmental conservation initiatives, which are central
to everything we do. Looking to the future, we articulated our Vision 2010,
which affirms that our corporate culture is based on
freedom and openness, challenge and cooperation. The
commitment to the future defined in our vision statement
mandates that we work diligently to meet our ambitious
environmental goals. We understand that there
are no shortcuts in our collective task of overcoming the
environmental issues facing society—or to being a company
society wants to exist.
Honda Environment Statement
As a responsible member of society whose task lies in the preservation
of the global environment,
the company will make every effort to contribute to human health and the preservation of the global
environment in each phase of its corporate activity.
Only in this way will we be able to count on a successful future not only for our
company, but for the entire world.
We should pursue our daily business interests under the following principles:
- 1 We will make efforts to recycle materials and conserve resources and
energy at every stage of our products’ life cycle from research, design,
production and sales, to services and disposal.
- 2 We will make every effort to minimize and find appropriate methods to
dispose of waste and contaminants that are produced through the use of
our products, and in every stage of the life cycle of these products.
- 3 As both a member of the company and of society, each associate will
focus on the importance of making efforts to preserve human health and
the global environment, and will do his or her part to ensure that the
company as a whole acts responsibly.
- 4 We will consider the influence that our corporate activities have on the
local environment and society, and endeavor to improve the social standing
of the company.
