Targets
•
Introduction of environmental management systems to distribution companies
•
Improving the transportation ef ciency
•
Improving the recyclability rate
Achievements
•
No more companies acquired ISO14001 certi cation.(Three out of the four major distributors had already acquired certi cation.)
•
CO

(for the transportation of completed automobiles)
1. Implementing the Environmental Management System for the Distribution Companies
In the Logistics Domain, our efforts have concentrated on acquiring ISO14001 certification by the four major affiliated distribution companies that have a large share of the transportation volume, in an attempt to establish our Environmental Management System. Already three of them have acquired certification, and all the companies will acquire it by the end of fiscal 2002.an>
2. Improving the Shipping Efficiency
• CO

reductions due to measures to improve the transportation ef ciency
(fiscal 2001) (rate of increase in total emissions < rate of increase in the
transportation amount)

n fiscal 2001, we took on-site measurements of the CO
2
emissions from the transportation of motorcycles and power products, in addition to those from the transportation of automobiles. As a result, the total CO
2
emissions from transportation amounted to 135,728 CO
2
-tons.
•
Improving the transportation efficiency
for completed automobiles
CO
2
emissions from the transportation of completed automobiles was reduced by improving the transportation efficiency. Although the transportation of completed automobiles increased by 14.6% compared with fiscal 2001, the total CO
2
emissions increased by only 10%.
The following measures were taken mainly in fiscal 2001
Main activities
·
Expansion of transportation by ship by the use of ferries and multipurpose vessels (promotion of a modal shift)
·
Transportation of automobiles manufactured by other companies in Honda own ships, and use of other companies' ships for return trip.
·
Expansion of joint transportation with other companies by truck
Note 1)
In the fiscal 2001 Environmental Annual Report, CO2 emissions were reported in CO
2
-tons (page 34). These figures, however, should have been reported in C-tons. (In this report, all figures are reported in CO
2
-tons.)
Note 2)
For CO
2
emission from the transportation of completed automobiles, only those being transported to destinations were been reported until last year. From this report onwards, however, we have decided to include the return trip.
3. Cleaner Exhaust Gases from Transportation
To reduce NOx, vehicles used for transportation have been successively replaced with low-emission vehicles at Honda's associated transportation companies. In addition, we are conducting surveys on DPF devices and low-sulfur fuels in response to the ordinance on environmental conservation enacted by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
