| Since its foundation, Honda has been attributing
importance to the philosophy of “Respect for the Individual.” Based
on this, Honda factories are conducting symbiosis activities with local communities
and improving the working environment, in order to become factories that are
appreciated by local people as well as by those working in them. |

At Honda’s factories, efforts have been made to prevent
sensory pollution such as noise, vibration, and bad odors by introducing soundproof
walls and deodorizers. Also, greening activities named “Furusato (native
place) Afforestation” have been continuously conducted since 1976 to plant
broadleaf trees that are suitable for the local ecosystem in and around the factories
to help improve the local environment and reduce CO2.
And at Honda’s overseas factories, we are implementing various
measures for symbiosis with local communities and the natural environment. |

At Honda’s factories, automation has been promoted and
the devices that ensure workers’ health and safety have been aggressively
introduced to improve the working environment. For example, at the Hosoe Plant
of the Hamamatsu Factory, which started operations as the newest production
base in Japan in 2001 to manufacture outboard engines, new engine assembling
tools have been introduced. The tools decrease the load placed on employees
by enabling them to assemble engines from all the directions. Furthermore, the
plant has introduced conveyors to move the outboard engines to the water testing
tanks and thereby freed workers from heavy lifting. |
