| Honda has developed an institutional framework to put into practice the principles of environmental conservation as defined in the Honda Environment Statement. Honda’s environmental management system mandates that environmental conservation initiatives be planned and executed appropriately. |

|
Based on mid-term policies determined by the Executive Council, environmental action plans are developed by individual departments. These plans are then discussed and approved by Regional Environmental Committees. Next, individual departments take responsibility for implementation based on the commitments specified in their plans. Results are evaluated by Regional Environmental Committees, and on the basis of their guidance, plans and targets are developed in each region (Japan, North/Central America, South America, Europe/Middle East/ Africa, Asia/Oceania and China), completing the PDCA* cycle at the regional level. Issues considered to be global in scope are referred to the World Environmental Committee, whose deliberations are refl ected in mid-term policy statements.
A hallmark of Honda environmental initiatives is that planning and execution are not delegated to specialists; rather, associates in all departments are directly involved. All associates are engaged with environmental issues as part of their duties. |
