Our efforts of the previous year were also continued in fiscal 2000 with a commitment to the implementation of the high targets set for all domains in the life cycle of Honda's products. Some activities resulted in achieving the set targets while others failed to attain the goals due to various factors, including changes in conditions. The outcomes of all activities whether "on target" or not were analyzed and the findings were fed back into the targets and programs for fiscal 2001 in our commitment to the further reduction in the environmental loads of our products.
