Honda set its green purchasing guidelines to aggressively promote the green procurement of materials and parts, and in December 2001, Honda held an explanatory meeting on the guidelines targeting suppliers. These guidelines show the specific management items and targets to be dealt with by Honda and its suppliers toward 2010 regarding the following:
1) Products to be purchased by Honda
2) Process by which products are manufactured
3) Corporate system for the environmental management of the manufacturing process

[Promoting the Acquisition of ISO14001 Certification by Honda's Suppliers]
In fiscal 2001, Honda worked towards a target of 15 suppliers acquiring ISO14001 certification. This has resulted in certification of 10 companies (16 business sites), and of 55 companies (125 business sites) in total.
From fiscal 2002, all suppliers will be encouraged to acquire the certification.
