Our efforts of the previous year also continued in fiscal 2001 with a commitment to achieving the high targets set for all domains in the life cycle of Honda's products. Some activities achieved their set targets while others failed to attain their goals for various reasons, including changes in conditions. The outcomes of all activities whether "on target" or not were analyzed and the findings were fed back to the targets and programs set for fiscal 2002 in our commitment to further reductions in the environmental loads of our products. |

In the last year's report, the CO2 emission target was reported as 16,352 CO2-tons. This was, however, incorrect. It should have been 16,352 C-tons. From this year, it was decided to take the return trip also into considerations. The fiscal 2001 target was therefore changed as follows:
(Fiscal 2001 target) 119,926 CO2-tons = 16,352 C-tons x 3.67 (to convert C to CO2) x 2 (to take the return trip into considerations) |
| *2 |
While the fiscal 2002 target for CO2 emission has increased as compared with the fiscal 2001 results, this increase is to allow for the planned growth in shipments. This target figure does, however, already include the (anticipated) reduction effect arising from the measures being taken to improve transport efficiency. |
