To reduce environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle, Honda has set “efficient utilization of resources” as a materiality. To realize this, Honda has defined waste reduction and water resource conservation as priority activity areas in its corporate activities and engages in resource circulation.

With a view to effective use of resources and reduction of environmental impact, Honda implements company-wide 3R initiatives, including reducing scrap materials in production processes (Reduce), as well as Reuse and Recycle. Regarding waste reduction, even in the absence of globally or industry standardized indicators, Honda has continuously established a voluntary management system. Honda strengthens its efforts to minimize the amount of waste and other materials generated through its corporate activities.

Honda also regards water resource conservation as an important element of efficient utilization of resources and ensures thorough management.

Honda promotes optimal water use tailored to regional characteristics, such as reducing water withdrawal through water-saving and recycled water utilization, striving to minimize theuse of water resources.

As a result of steadily implementing these 3R and water resource conservation initiatives, Honda has consistently maintained and continued reduced levels in both waste generation and water withdrawal since the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. Going forward, Honda will continue its activities to further improve resource efficiency.
