| 1. Introduction of Environmental Management System |
|
 |
|
|
Acquisition of ISO14001 Certification
|
|
Honda Primo Hokuriku Home Office (2002.1.20)
|
|
|
|
We have been promoting the introduction of environmental management systems to Honda automobile dealers and in fiscal 2001, the dealers shown on the left were certified as "Good Green Dealers" or as "Best Green Dealers."
From now on, we will expand the number of dealers certified as "Best Green Dealers" and further encourage them to reduce CO2 emissions.
In fiscal 2001, one dealer acquired ISO14001 certification as shown on the left.

This proprietary Environmental Management System has been established by Honda on the basis of know-how obtained through acquisition of ISO14001 certification. The Honda Green Dealer Certification System is implemented in two steps. The Good Green Dealer Certification is awarded on the criteria of compliance with legal regulations and improving the environment, whereas the Best Green Dealer Certification, which is on a higher level, is awarded on the criterion of improving environmental efficiency. |

|
|
| 2. Proper Disposal of End-of-Life Vehicles |
|
|
|
|
• CFC12 destruction rate: 83.3%
(for 809 bases of the consolidated sales companies)
• HFC134a destruction rate: 84.4%
(for 809 bases of the consolidated sales companies) |
|
|
|
|
Honda made efforts to promote the recovery and destruction of CFC12 used in automotive air-conditioning systems, and of HFC134a, which is responsible for global warming.
From now on, in response to the planned enforcement of the law on the recovery and destruction of CFC12 and HFC134a in October 2002, we will conduct the following activities:
· Further introduction of HFC134a recovery equipment
· Registration with local governments as a company engaged in the acceptance and recovery of CFC12 and HFC134a |
|
| • Flow of CFC12 and HFC134a recovery and destruction process |
 |
|
| 2)Proper disposal of air bag inflators |
|
| We continue to instruct our dealers to properly dispose of air bag inflators as a requirement to be certified under the Green Dealer Certification System. At the end of fiscal 2001, 151 Honda dealers are participating in the air bag inflator recovery system of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers' Association. |
 |
|
|
| Note) |
We have decided not to continue reporting on the "Promoting the Issuing of Manifests," as we have been doing up until last year in our Environmental Annual Report. We are now legally required to issue manifests and they have been properly issued as a result of the past efforts made within Honda. We have already completed the project and reporting is no longer necessary. |
|
|
| 3. Other Activities |
|
| 1)Publication of a Dismantling Manual |
|
| We published a "Dismantling Manual" for the dismantling and proper disposal of end-of-life vehicles. The manual, which puts first priority on safety and the environment, has been distributed to all Honda sales bases, Honda sales companies and dismantlers who deal with Honda. The manual explains how to remove the parts designated in the former Ministry of Health and Welfare's advance selection guidelines and in the former Ministry of International Trade and Industry's "Recycling Initiative," as well as those parts recommended by Honda, in an easy-to-understand manner with illustrations. In addition, it summarizes regulations that will need to be enforced in the future and specific methods to remove reusable and recyclable parts. |
