In December 1991, Honda created an Environmental Committee as an organization that could to play a core role in dealing with environmental issues in Japan. After this, the organization framework was extended to North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. In March 1995, the World Environmental Committee was set up to frame and promote the world-spanning plans for our commitment.
In addition, we have created a system to effectively promote our efforts on organization-spanning themes. In this context, we initiated the Green Factory Project*1 and the New Recycle Project*2 in 1997, and the LCA Project*3 in 2000.
