Efficient Use of Resources in Corporate Activities that Are Part of the Product Life Cycle

Honda focuses on waste reduction and water conservation in its corporate activities.

Waste

Honda is committed to reducing waste*1 and other environmental impacts in its corporate activities, with a focus on effective resource utilization and environmental load reduction. We are working on resource reduction, including minimizing scrap in production processes, and engaging in the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Our goal is to achieve a 14.5% reduction in the total amount of waste generated by all Honda activities by the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2031 compared to the Business As Usual (BAU)*2 scenario.

Water Resources

Honda recognizes the potential impact on local communities and downstream water resources in areas where we draw water and is committed to water conservation. We select regions that harmonize with surrounding water resources and conduct our corporate activities in accordance with environmental assessment regulations in each country.

We are also working to minimize water use, such as utilizing recycled water. With a focus on mitigating supply risks and addressing depletion risks that could affect local communities, we aim to achieve a 14.5% reduction in the total amount of water withdrawn across all Honda activities by the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2031 compared to the BAU scenario.
