Concurrently with the building of the environmental management system for Honda as a whole, each of its business sites are introducing environmental management systems to continuously improve their ability to protect the environment and to more thoroughly control substances with the environmental impacts.
Honda has actively engaged in acquiring the ISO14001 certification, the international standard for the environmental management system, mainly for our production operations. In Japan, all of Honda's production plants acquired the certification within fiscal 1998. Besides as a part of the Green Office promotion, the head office building in Aoyama and other offices also acquired the ISO14001 certification.
We are also advancing the work to acquire the certification for our primary production plants in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Oceania. In Europe, we are promoting the acquisition of the EU's Eco Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) certification.
Honda's* ISO14001-certified business sites are as shown above, totaling 46 sites as of the end offiscal 2001. The EMAS-certified business sites in Europe are presently three.
Please refer to the right tables for the business sites that acquired the ISO14001 and EMAS certification in fiscal 2001.
We will further promote the establishment of ISO14001-certified (and EMAS-certified in Europe) environmental management systems within the Honda Group and encourage the certified business sites to continue to be certified. Through these measures, we will promote the PDCA cycle at our business sites as continuous measures to reduce environmental impacts of our business.
