Promotion of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Honda established the Honda LCA Data System in Japan in March 2002. Using this system, we set annual CO2 emission reduction targets for each department using CO2 emissions generated by that department in fiscal 2000 as the baseline and promoted the PDCA cycle from a quantitative standpoint to reduce our environmental footprint.In fiscal 2005, each domestic department (manufacturing, purchasing, sales/service, and logistics) used the Honda LCA Data System to collect data and calculate CO2 emissions generated by business operations.
Using this system, we calculated that both CO2 emissions and the number of products manufactured increased approximately 1 percent in fiscal 2005 compared with fiscal 2004.
In addition, carbon intensity per sales revenue has improved year after year since fiscal 2000. In the future, we will improve the efficiency of data collection and the accuracy of the collected data to steadily reduce our environmental impact.
• CO2 Emissions Generated by Honda’s Business Activities
• CO2 Emissions per Unit Sales in Honda’s Business Operations
• CO2 Emissions per Unit Sales in Honda’s Business Operations
Notes:
1. CO2 emissions are computed using a formula unique to Honda.
2. CO2 emissions per unit sales are indicated as ton-CO2 per ¥100 million.
3. The figures are shown as indices (fiscal 2000 = 100).
