In the Sales and Services Domain, we are in the process of introducing Honda's own Environmental Management System at the Honda automobile dealers and are undertaking efforts to ensure the appropriate disposal of end-of-life products and substances such as CFC12 or HFC134a. We are also extending similar activities to the Motorcycles and Power Products Domains.
