Honda Releases 2016 North American Environmental Report

Honda’s environmental activities in North America for the past year have been detailed in a new report, the 2016 North American Environmental Report (NAER). In an effort to help reduce emissions and promote better business practices for the environment, Honda has pledged its continued support of the goal to halve total CO2 emissions from its products and operations globally by 2050.

“From an environmental perspective, we are aggressively pursuing innovations that will help reduce CO2 emissions, which is society’s most pressing environmental challenge,” said Toshiaki Mikoshiba, president & CEO of Honda North America, Inc. “We are pursuing environmental innovation across all aspects of our business with a strong focus on improving efficiency at every stage of the product life cycle.”

The 51-page report also features Honda’s stance on public policies as they pertain to energy usage and development of alternate-fuel vehicles and technologies. Some of the highlights of the report include a continued expansion of the reduction of the use of hazardous materials, increased its support of CNG-fueled trucks used on local transportation routes, a decrease of 10% in CO2 emissions in the production of automobiles, and a decrease in the waste sent to landfills from its 12 U.S. parts warehousing and distribution centers by 20 percent last year.
