Handing
down “joy” from one generation to the next
Honda has long been engaged in environmental conservation, aggressively
undertaking measures suitable for the time. In the 1990s, amid the increasing
momentum toward environmental conservation and the acceleration of environmental
measures all over the world, we improved our
organizational structure and system step by step and made our “Honda Environment
Statement” as guidelines for our attitude towards the
environment.
In the 21st century, Honda is accelerating its environmental
activities to create new joys for its customers through giving full consideration
to the global environment. Also, it is aiming to become a company that all people
can look up to, by aggressively communicating with local people and with its
customers throughout the world and sharing its joys with them. |

Towards
higher goals
For the effective promotion of environmental conservation activities
and for the steady achievement of results, we are always setting higher goals.
For example, for every product domain, we announce the quantitative targets for
cleaner exhaust gases and for fuel economy, with time limits, and disclose information
about the achievement of these targets in the Honda Environmental Annual Report
and at our website. |
|
For global and social sustainability
Honda thinks it important to deeply understand what impacts
companies have on the world’s environment, society, and economy and to act based
on this understanding. To share joys with a greater number of customers, we
will search for ways to enable the development of society in harmony with the
environment. |

2010 CO2 emission reduction targets
Honda aims to become a company that manufactures products with the lowest vemissions at plants with the lowest CO2 emissions. To this end, we have set worldwide CO2 emission reduction targets for our products and production activities and are committed to implementing measures to achieve these targets. We are the first automaker to announce worldwide CO2 emission reduction targets per unit of products for its products and production activities. |
|
| Worldwide CO2 emission reduction targets for 2010 (compared with the levels in fiscal 2000) |
 |
|
1. CO2 emissions from our motorcycles have already decreased by 13.2%. We will continue to achieve the 10% reduction target and further cut the emissions toward 2010.
2. We have already beaten our target for reducing emissions, but production in areas with higher CO2 emission coefficients is expected to increase in the future. Despite the increase, we will continue to achieve the reduction target and further cut emissions toward 2010.
3. The per-unit emission increased due to the production of more value-added products and larger products. |
