Note 1: Group companies are indicated by parentheses
Note 2: Calculations of CO2 for countries outside of Japan are based on energy use expressed as electricity coefficient. Calculations of electricity coefficient in Japan are based on the Factory Greenhouse Gas Guidelines published Japan's Ministry of the Environment (version 1.6). Other calculations are based on the conversion formula presented on p.39.
Note 3: Landfill waste total includes waste processed by other companies.
Note 4: Production volume calculations are based on the automobile, motorcycle and power products unit production volumes of the facilities and a set formula.


•CO2 Emissions Volume



•Landfill Waste Volume



•Water Use Volume



Honda is promoting its Green Factory initiative worldwide, developing production technology appropriate for a recycling-based society. We are also promoting energy conservation and waste reduction initiatives at our factories worldwide. We have calculated the CO2 emissions, landfill waste generation and water usage of all Honda Group companies, including Honda Motor, involved in the manufacture of finished vehicles and all parts suppliers in FY2007. The results of this calculation of cumulative worldwide environmental impact are shown in the adjacent graphics. Encompassing 82 companies, including subsidiaries, Group companies and major affiliates, these calculations include virtually all production of finished vehicles. Details
