LCA System to Quantify Environmental Impact
From Product Development to Disposal Quantifying Environmental Impact at Every Stage of a Product's Lifecycle
Honda launched the LCA Project in 2000, in order to quantify the environmental impacts caused by its activities at each stage of its operations and to take effective countermeasures. In June 2002, we designed and introduced the Honda LCA System and since then have been expanding use of the system.

  Building an LCA system to quantify environmental impact
Honda launched the LCA Project in June 2000 and built and introduced the Honda LCA System in June 2002 to quantify the environmental impact caused by its business activities. LCA is a method to comprehen-sively examine environmental impact at each stage of a product’s lifecycle, from the procurement of materials to production, distribution, use, and finally disposal, by calculating resource/energy consumption, CO2 emissions and the amount of waste generated. Honda regards LCA as a most important tool to accurately assess its overall environmental impacts.
Environmental education and training to promote employee awareness of the environment
By utilizing the Honda LCA System, the total amount of CO2 emitted from Honda’s annual activities and the environmental impacts caused by Honda products used within Japan can be calculated. The Honda LCA System comprises the Honda LCA Data System in which environmental impact data, such as the amount of materials and energy, are managed, and the Honda LCA Management System, used to set environmental impact reduction objectives. The System can be commonly utilized for all Honda products, including motorcycles, automobiles, and power equipment.
