In the production domain, Honda is promoting its Green Factory initiative to develop its factories into new manufacturing operations suitable for a recycling-based society. To this end, we are also expanding our energy conservation and waste reduction activities to our overseas plants. We calculated the CO2 emissions and water usage of 72 Honda companies as well as the amount of waste they sent to off-site landfills during fiscal 2005. The results of this calculation are represented in the graphs shown on the right. These companies encompass both domestic and overseas companies that assemble vehicles into final products, including Honda Motor Co., Ltd., and major parts companies. Almost all of Honda’s subsidiaries, affiliates, and major associated companies engaged in the manufacturing of completed vehicles are therefore covered. For details, please click here.
Overseas CO2 emissions were calculated based on the locally used CO2 conversion factor for electricity. Domestic CO2 emissions were calculated based on the CO2 conversion factor for electricity shown in the Japanese Ministry of the Environment’s guidelines on calculating greenhouse gases released by companies (version 1.6). For other conversion factors, we used those shown in the “Production Domain” section. (Please click here.)
Waste disposed of as off-site landfill includes waste externally disposed of by other methods.
Production indices are calculated based on the total number of motorcycles, automobiles, and power equipment manufactured by the companies included in the tabulation.
