Confronting Global Warming and Climate Change |
|
 |
|
The issue of global climate change cannot be resolved solely by action at the regional level. Honda is addressing the problem on a global scale. We’re working to further develop our technology to reconcile the issues of global climate change and the growing demand for mobility.
In May 2006 Honda announced voluntary CO2 emissions reduction targets (see below). |

| Global CO2 reduction targets for 2010 (baseline: 2000) |

Target scope:
Product:
Automobiles: Japan, North America, Europe/Middle East/Africa, Asia/Oceania, China, South America (more than 90% of worldwide sales)
Motorcycles: Japan, North America, Europe, Thailand, India, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil, the Philippines, Malaysia, Pakistan (more than 90% of worldwide sales)
Power Products: All sales in all regions (marine outboards excluded)
Production:
All manufacturing by Honda Motor and 72 other Honda Group companies worldwide engaged in the assembly of vehicles and major components |

| FY2007 results (in progress) |

|
 |
|
| *1 |
A 13.2% reduction from 2000 has already been attained. We are striving to attain a minimum 10% reduction by 2010. |
| *2 |
Although the target has already been attained, an expansion of production is foreseen in this region, where CO2 emissions are relatively high. We are striving to maintain the reduction target level and achieve even greater reduction by 2010. |
| *3 |
Higher, per-unit emissions in power product manufacturing can be attributed to larger and more feature-rich new products. |
