Environmental Management by Honda’s Business Sites (ISO 14001 and EMAS)

fig01.gif
Concurrently with the building of the environmental management system for Honda as a whole, each of the Company’s business sites are introducing environmental management systems to continuously improve their ability to protect the environment and to more thoroughly control substances with environmental impacts.
Honda has actively engaged in acquiring ISO 14001 certification, the international standard for environmental management systems, primarily for its production operations.
In Japan, all of Honda’s production plants acquired certification in fiscal1997. Also as a part of the Green Office promotion, the Head Office building in Aoyama acquired ISO 14001 certification in 1999 as did six other regional offices in 2001.
We are also advancing the work to acquire certification for our major production plants in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia/Oceania and China. In Europe, we are promoting the acquisition of the EU’s Eco Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS).
Honda’s ISO 14001-certified business sites are as shown below, totaling 46 sites as of the end of fiscal 2004. There are currently three EMAS-certified business sites in Europe.
Please refer to the upper right table for business sites that acquired ISO 14001 and EMAS certification in fiscal 2004.
We will further promote the establishment of ISO 14001-certified (and EMAS-certified in Europe) environmental management systems within the Honda Group and encourage certified business sites to continue to retain their certification. Through these measures, we will promote the PDCA cycle at our business sites as continuous measures to reduce the environmental impacts of our business.
