Training programs are provided for company employees at the different levels so that all members of the company will have a full recognition of their own position and be able to make progress in the company's commitment to the environment as an integral part of their own work tasks. Environmental Training Programs are part of the company's training curriculum, including the initial training offered to new employees and the training programs conducted for the staff members newly appointed to managerial positions as a part of personnel development programs. The objective of the training programs for new employees is to "generate a proper understanding of Honda's commitment to the environmental issues and let them behave with a sense of environmental awareness within the context of their jobs after assignment to individual departments". For the staff members appointed to managerial positions, to "ensure the practical deployment of environmental efforts from the standpoint of management". In addition to these programs, we have restructured our former basic training programs in fiscal 2000. These programs are designed for employees from their second to eighth year of service with the company and implemented as a way of conveying our corporate philosophy and as an opportunity for individual career development. The programs have been restructured to give fuller weight to environmental aspects. From next fiscal year, Honda staff training will take place with these programs. In March 2001, we also revised our Green Action Guidance, Honda's textbook for new employee training.
