Global Operations and Marketplace

Advancing operations in six regions Driven by its philosophy of building products close to the customer, Honda manufactures its products in six different regions worldwide In FY2009 we delivered 23 million units to customers around the world Always conscious of the environmental impact of its operations, Honda

is working hard to take environmental responsibility to ever higher els around the world.

lev-In 2006 Honda became the world’s first automaker to announce global CO2 reduction goals for its products and production activities It also implemented a proactive strategy to help stabilize climate change, taking efforts to even higher levels As a global manufacturer, Hon-

da strives to develop products with the lowest in-use CO2 emissions manufactured at plants with the lowest per-unit CO2 emissions Honda Group companies worldwide continue to advance a wide range of initiatives for the reduction of environmental impact.

Honda discloses its environmental policies and practices in the CSR Report, in the Honda Environmental Annual Report and on its website (http://world.honda.com/environment/) The CSR Report outlines Honda’s environmental initiatives in

an easy-to-understand way The Environmental Annual Report presents in greater detail Honda’s fundamental policies and future direction with respect to the environment, as well as the results of the year’s environmental initiatives In addition to covering both general and specific environmental information, the website presents the history of Honda’s environmental initiatives.

Starting this year, Honda is presenting the report in two parts: “Honda Environmental Annual Report 2009” and

“Hon-da Environmental Annual Report 2009: Case Studies and Supplementary Information” are both available on the website, and “Honda Environmental Annual Report 2009” is also available in printed form.

As restructured, the printed Report will play an even stronger role in our Plan, Do, Check and Act (PDCA) process for environmental initiatives The Case Studies and Supplementary Information document supplements the information con- tained in the printed Report, introduces additional initiatives in each domain and presents Substances of Concern output data for each Honda facility and product area Honda produces the Honda Environmental Annual Report based on internal guidelines.

Since October 2007, all Honda automobiles sold in Japan have met the guidelines for in-vehicle VOC content

man-dated by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Honda is the first automaker to achieve these standards for all

automobiles, including commercial vehicles.

Reduction of in-vehicle VOCs

The completely redesigned,

fourth-generation Honda Odyssey was released in

October 2008 It is available with a 2.4-liter

i-VTEC engine that combines reduced

precious metals content with enhanced

emissions performance The latest model

features a newly developed integrated

cylinder head exhaust manifold and an

extremely heat-resistant catalytic converter

located directly beneath the manifold

Together, these technologies maintain a

highly efficient system for purifying exhaust

emissions with reduced use of rare precious metals The Odyssey features a linear air-fuel ratio sensor,

an oxygen sensor and an air-flow sensor for high-precision air-fuel ratio control, while a high-atomizing

fuel injector helps reduce exhaust emissions These technologies give the Odyssey enhanced emissions

performance, allowing certain types to be certified as very low-emission vehicles by Japan’s MLIT

Introduced in 1994, the Odyssey reached cumulative sales of one million units in Japan in February 2009.

Exhaust emissions

Resin intake manifold in Insight

Honda sought to maximize fuel efficiency and

environ-mental performance in every detail of the 1.3-liter gasoline

engine that serves as the Insight’s main source of power

Be-tween the cylinder heads and the intake manifold, Honda

placed an EGR plate with highly efficient exhaust pathways

The implementation of this technology allowed for the use

of a lightweight composite-resin intake manifold, helping to

reduce overall vehicle weight.

A cogeneration (heat and electricity) system generates electricity with a gas engine and uses the exhaust heat to supply hot water Overcoming the challenge of

creating a system compact enough for household use, in March 2003, Honda

be-gan sales of a cogeneration unit that combined the GE160V—the world’s smallest

natural gas engine—with an electrical generation system featuring Honda’s original

sine wave inverter technology In Japan, a cogeneration system that incorporates

Honda’s compact household cogeneration unit has been sold through utility gas

companies under the brand name ECOWILL In October 2006, Honda introduced

a new unit featuring power generation efficiency of 22.5% and total energy

ef-ficiency of 85.5% In FY2009, in Japan Honda sold 20,021 units of the ECOWILL

cogeneration system Cumulatively, Honda has sold 86,285 units since its release.

Power Products

In December 2008, Honda launched the Yukios SB800, a compact and lightweight snow thrower that clears snow with a blade in an easy-to-use fashion

In addition to exceptional fuel economy, the Yukios SB800 features low noise

When the user releases the throttle lever, engine rpms automatically decrease for

enhanced fuel economy and reduced noise during idling The use of a resin engine

cover further reduces noise to facilitate early morning snow removal.

In February 2009, Honda introduced the Pianta FV200 gas-powered mini-tiller, which runs on home-use butane gas canisters As with the Yukios SB800, when

the user releases the throttle lever, engine rpms automatically decrease to reduce

noise In addition, noise is reduced through the use of a large silencer, provided as

standard equipment, along with a plastic engine cover.

Noise reduction

Advances in solar cell production and sales

In October 2007 Honda Soltec began commercial production of non-silicon CIGS (copper, indium, gallium and selenium) thin-film solar cells developed by

Honda Engineering The width of the energy-generating layers of CIGS solar cells

is approximately 2.4 micrometers, roughly 1/80th the width of polycrystal silicon

cells Produced with fewer processes and less energy than polycrystal silicon cells,

CIGS solar cells have an approximately 1/3 shorter energy payback time (the time

it takes to recover the energy used in cell production) of 0.9 years.

One challenge faced in the development of CIGS solar cells concerns the mogeneity of the energy-generating layer Whereas polycrystal silicon has a maxi-

ho-mum cell size of 15 cm, Honda can produce CIGS substrates that measure as much

as 73×92 cm To accomplish this, Honda implemented such original technologies

as in-plane temperature distribution with high-temperature processing exceeding

500°C and doping technology based on automotive coating technology Honda

thin-film solar cells have a highly efficient 11.15% energy-conversion rate Honda

Soltec has begun selling the cells throughout Japan.

Since most molds are made of metal, they are recycled However, since some molds are used for many different

service replacement parts, it can be difficult to determine when they can be recycled In FY2003 Honda began sharing

guidelines with suppliers on mold recycling, leading to standardization of procedures and more proactive recycling.

Recycling of used molds

• 10,119 molds recycled

• 1,410 tons of molds recycled

• 9,760 molds recycled

• 1,360 tons of molds recycled

Transportation

Reducing packaging in the transportation of component parts sets

Completed motorcycles importation and power products transportation

By using returnable cases when importing scooters from China, Honda is continuing to maintain zero landfill

dis-posal of shipping materials By eliminating the use of cardboard and introducing returnable steel containers, Honda

continues to reduce packaging use In addition, through the use of returnable steel cases for transporting medium and

large marine outboards in Japan, Honda is continuing to reduce steel and cardboard use.

In FY2009 the company used 18,069 tons of packaging materials,

a reduction of 3,116 tons, or approximately 15%, from FY2008 As in

FY2008, the use of returnable containers in coordination with charter

flights contributed to the reduction Honda uses cardboard boxes in

the receiving, shipping and storage of small parts but is increasingly

using returnable containers to store them Gradually seeing results from

this initiative, the company plans to expand it going forward In the

area of large parts, Honda has focused on replacement bumpers, for

which there is high demand, creating a simple, environmentally

respon-sible package As a result, Honda has eliminated cardboard

replace-ment bumper packaging and reduced the total amount of packaging

that bumpers require.

Honda is working to reduce the use of

four heavy metals considered to have adverse

effects on the environment (lead, mercury,

hexavalent chromium and cadmium) In the

production of the Insight and other vehicles

released in FY2009, Honda attained the

reduction targets set by the Japan Automobile

Manufacturers Association (JAMA; see

adjacent chart) The company expanded, by

approximately 10%, the installation of air

conditioners that reduce the use of HFC134a

(baseline: FY1996), using them in 22 out of

24 models Honda is examining the viability

of implementing air conditioners that use no

HFC134a, and is monitoring new technological developments By discontinuing the use of PVCs in interior and exterior

resin parts, Honda reduced the content of chlorine in automobile shredder residue to 1% or less in all new models

released in FY2009.

Motorcycles

One of Honda’s commitments is to reduce the use of four heavy metals (lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium and

cadmium) in all models produced in Japan by the end of 2005 The company attained its voluntary reduction targets

by the end of FY2007 and in FY2009 continued to operate within target levels Honda also eliminated in Japan the use

of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, prohibited under 2010 European regulations.

Power Products

Honda also committed itself to reducing the use of four heavy metals (lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium and

cadmium) in all power products produced in Japan by the end of 2006 No regulatory standards for power products are

in effect in Japan, but Honda is working to voluntarily reduce the use of SOCs in power products in accordance with

JAMA’s voluntary targets Honda has already attained the targets for lead, mercury and cadmium Honda has eliminated

the use of hexavalent chromium for all purposes except for anti-corrosion treatments in certain marine outboards.

Recycling oil filters

Honda collects and disassembles end-of-life oil filters to recycle them as metal and fuel Honda also reuses some of their components

as production parts The company has started recovering these filters

through Honda dealers nationwide in January 2004 and began

recover-ing filters from service and repair companies in FY2006 Honda’s goal

is to recover 30% of the oil filters produced in the previous fiscal year.

Recovery and recycling of bumpers

Honda has established a system to collect used bumpers from ers and recycle them as raw material In FY2009 the company recov-

deal-ered 239,00 used bumpers from Honda automobile dealers and service

and repair companies, recovering a total of 814 tons of resin Of this

amount, 236,000 bumpers (803 tons of resin) were to be replaced, and

3,000 bumpers (11 tons of resin) were collected from end-of-life

ve-hicles Honda used a total of 1,204 tons of recycled bumper resin in

such parts as replacement bumpers, splash shields and splash guards for

automobiles and undercovers for motorcycles.

The Honda Beach Clean-up Project

As one of our community initiatives, Honda developed the Beach Cleaner,

which is used to clean up the seashore A group of current and retired associates

assembled a volunteer caravan to work with municipal authorities to put this

inno-vative device to work The towable Beach Cleaner has a simple structure based on

the functions of a rake and a sieve As it churns up the sand, buried litter is collected

for proper disposal.

In FY2009 the Beach Cleaner Caravan visited 32 sites in Japan and with the help

of more than 1,600 current and retired associates some 6,000 bags of litter were

collected Starting in FY2010, the associates working for dealers in local

communi-ties will also participate, further expanding the scope of the initiative.

Hello Woods

Honda manages a forest called Hello Woods in Motegi Town, Tochigi Prefecture, as a living museum where children

can discover and experience nature Activities here focus on providing children with the opportunity to play and learn

in the forest We have transformed the forest into a real-world classroom, providing children the freedom to play, to

discover the wonders and wisdom of nature, and to learn what they can do to help the planet.

Hello Woods is a forest of broadleaf deciduous trees in the Hakkouzan mountains, home to a diverse community of

plants and wildlife Playing in the forest, children become interested in nature, discovering fascinating things about our

natural environment It’s an experience with lasting educational benefits Staff, called cast members or forest

storytell-ers, are always available to help the children learn as they play in the forest.

Honda Group companies case studies

With its 2.5 million m2 campus, the Automobile R&D Center is as big as a small town Here the company performs engine burn-in tests and other lifespan testing,

as well as driving tests, and some machines run 24 hours a day The Automobile

R&D Center makes each element of its operations as environmentally responsible

as possible and constantly implements a wide variety of environmental initiatives

Among its initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions, the Center runs an advanced

mi-crogrid power generation and storage system.

A microgrid is a network of multiple, distributed power generation sources aged to provide stable power on demand and capable of reducing both CO2 emis-

man-sions and energy costs With a view to maximizing energy efficiency, the Center implements centralized monitoring, management and operation of the generation and delivery of electricity and heat.

In 2008, the company connected existing drive power sources, HVAC systems, electrical equipment and power generation systems including the microgrid with a local area network (LAN), establishing a comprehensive management system on the Center’s intranet Visually intuitive, the system allows the associate in charge to view the energy production and use status in real time and make appropriate decisions.

Microgrid management leads to high efficiency

The microgrid system of the Center comprises two cogeneration systems, two sodium-sulfur (NaS) battery systems, an alternative energy production system that derives power from waste fuel VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and a solar power generation system The two NaS battery systems are particularly advanced: adding to the capacity of the 1,500 kW NaS Battery System No 1, the 12,000 kW NaS Battery System No 2 began operation in September 2007 and, as of June

2009, is the world’s largest NaS battery system These two systems are especially helpful during the frequent power outages that occur due to the region’s numerous electrical storms.

Among energy storage batteries, NaS batteries have an especially high charge and discharge efficiency They efficiently store power during those times of day when energy is cheaper and help provide a consistent supply of power This system also helps stabilize the Center’s power supply during times of peak demand in the summer while reducing the burden on the local power infrastructure,

Aiming to be an R&D center with the world’s smallest environmental footprint the Automobile R&D Center implements advanced environmental initiatives in three categories: reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing output of harmful chemicals and using resources efficiently In particlar, to combat the worldwide problem of CO2 emissions, the Automobile R&D Center is working to reduce its CO2 emissions to 85% of the FY2001 baseline by 2010 One advanced alternative energy technology the company

is using to accomplish this goal is its microgrid power generation and storage system.

Maximizing the use of microgrid-generated energy

Trang 15

thereby contributing to society An NaS battery system may also be used as a back up to solar-power generation systems

and other renewable energy sources, which typically have large fluctuations in the amount of power they generate.

Added to the 1,253 kW Cogeneration System No 1 in April 2008, Cogeneration System No 2 uses a gas turbine to

generate up to 7,000 kW In addition residual fuel is used for power generation in VOC processing The Center has also

increased solar power generation from 112 kW to 156 kW, allowing the microgrid to provide an optimal power supply

with low CO2 emissions.

The total amount of power the Center uses is equivalent to the amount used by 30 to 40 thousand typical

house-holds; of this amount, the Center purchases 90% from the public utility and generates 10% in-house through alternative

energy Going forward, the Center will continue to develop its microgrid system, aiming for the most environmentally

responsible method of operation possible.

In 1990, when Honda Engineering began its move from Saitama Prefecture to Tochigi Prefecture and submitted a proposal for its water treatment facility, the company had

the idea of producing wastewater that was even cleaner than the water of the Shimanto

River on the island of Shikoku, a river famous in Japan for its cleanliness The future site

of the company was in the town of Haga near the Nomoto River, an area of great

natu-ral beauty where people make the river part of their everyday lives Tochigi Prefecture,

where local water needs to be appropriate for agricultural uses, has one of the

strict-est wastewater quality standards in Japan Since Honda Engineering is engaged in the

research and development of manufacturing technologies, the wastewater it produces

changes on a daily basis and contains a wide variety of chemical substances To deal

with this uniquely challenging set of circumstances, Honda Engineering has created a

leading-edge water treatment system.

Expanding its operations and increasing its water usage since its move from Saitama Prefecture, Honda Engineering has opted a new policy of recyling wasterwater instead of discharging it Rather than discharge wastewater into the Nomoto River, the company decided to make the water cleaner and reuse it in its own facility Participating in the Green Factory project, Honda Engineering established the goal of producing zero wastewater by the year 2030 in order to conserve water resources Since then, Honda Engineering has accelerated its efforts, introducing higher-level treatment equipment for both ordinary (sewage, etc.) and industrial wastewater Currently, the company is aiming for 100% recycling of water by 2010.

equipment was recovered in two years In February 2009, Honda Engineering stopped purchasing water for industrial uses and discharging ordinary wastewater and expects additional savings to result.

Aiming for Japan’s cleanest wastewater and 100% recycling

In processing ordinary wastewater, Honda Engineering uses a biological treatment method that utilizes 3,000 species of bacteria instead of treatment methods based on physical chemistry The company processes wastewater and sludge using proprietary technologies, for which the company has registered over 10 patents Honda Engineering manages the bacteria with precision control, adding oxygen and nutrients with precision

To select and control the bacteria that will help achieve the necessary water quality, the company has established a treatment management and testing regime built upon many years of testing and experimentation In 1990, the company added two underground tanks

system was ahead of its time in the use of iron contactors, only the third private facility in Japan to implement the technology In 2004, Honda Engineering built a second ordinary

Due to the experiments it conducts in its R&D operations, Honda Engineering Co., Ltd creates many different types of wastewater on a daily basis Honda Engineering treats all wastewater it produces to comply with the strict water quality standards of the town of Haga, in which it is located, and has accepted the challenge of managing wastewater at the highest level of environmental responsibility Thanks

to advanced devices, original innovations and Honda’s own patented technologies, Honda Engineering has developed a proprietary water treatment system that is highly effective Leading the way in solving environmental problems and using water resources effectively, Honda Engineering is aiming to recycle 100% of the water it uses and produce zero wastewater by 2010.

wastewater treatment facility capable of processing 420 m per day, adding an ultrafiltration membrane separation process to

the biological process Water made clean by the ultrafiltration membrane is further treated with activated charcoal, making it

appropriate for use as coolant water and for other uses in the factory.

Honda Engineering’s industrial wastewater treatment facility is capable of handling the wide variety of substances produced

by the company’s ever-changing research and development operations Completed in 1997, the No 1 Industrial Wastewater

Treatment Facility treats wastewater from electroplating machines A water treatment product called Fabios was implemented, in

which microorganisms adhere to a fine fiber medium that may be exchanged Completed in 2005, the No 2 Industrial

Wastewa-ter Treatment Facility was one of the first private treatment facilities in Japan to deploy membrane technology At the time, it was

believed that membranes could not be used to treat wastewater containing heavy metal ions, but Honda’s experiments proved

that if reaction processing, nitrification and denitrification were performed in advance, separation with ultrafiltration membranes

could be used The system that Honda Engineering created transformed steps that had conventionally taken place in the latter half

of the treatment process into pre-processing steps This industrial wastewater treatment facility has a daily processing capacity

which prevents small particles and ionized matter from passing through the filter, turning it into salt-free water suitable for human

consumption Honda Engineering uses this water as coolant or toilet water.

Environmentally responsible HVAC and lighting

Green Factory initiatives at the Tochigi Factory’s new L10 Plant

The L10 Plant uses both a geothermal exchange pump and recycled waste heat from production to provide heat for

the HVAC system The geothermal heat pump takes advantage of constant underground water temperatures to provide

heat, and additional heat is derived from the used coolant water of the forging press Combined in a hybrid

configura-tion, these two heat sources help reduce the energy consumed by the facility’s HVAC system.

Lighting in the L10 Plant has also been designed for optimal efficiency Sunlight is captured on the roof and directed

via prisms down a tube to provide natural light to the offices below LEDs light the meeting rooms, using less energy

and providing a longer lifespan than incandescent or fluorescent lighting The processing of water used in production

for reuse in toilets is another example of the environmental initiatives implemented at this plant.

The L10 Plant is designed for efficient conservation of energy and resources Its attractive green roof, natural

light-ing system and people-friendly logistics help make it a hospitable environment for all associates The environmentally

responsible design of the new L10 Plant makes it a welcome addition to the Tochigi Factory and the company.

The headquarters and factory of Tsuzuki Manufacturing are located about 30 utes by car from Ueda Station in Sakaki, Hanishina District, Nagano Prefecture, in

min-a mountmin-ainous min-aremin-a nemin-ar the Chikummin-a River The compmin-any’s three plmin-ants in Nmin-agmin-ano

mainly produce front suspensions, lower arms, damper forks, stator shafts and other

components for Honda automobiles, as well as gear shift spindles for Honda

motor-cycles.

In November 2006, Tsuzuki Manufacturing installed a solar power generation system on the roof of its No 3 Plant, which produces the rotor shaft for the Insight

hybrid vehicle The company is aiming to reduce CO2 emissions by 16.7% from the

FY2000 baseline by FY2011, and decided to make solar power generation part of

their strategy In 2006, Honda became the first automaker to enter the solar panel industry, making the move an even more natural fit In addition, as a company seeking to gain the appreciation of local society, Tsuzuki believed solar power was an ideal form of energy, since its use can contribute to environmental conservation.

In October 2006, Tsuzuki installed a 40 kW solar power generation system but ran into a problem that winter: snow tended to linger on the panels, preventing them from generating electricity Comparing the installation to others in the region and analyzing the problem, Tsuzuki associates determined that they actually faced two problems First, sunlight being blocked by the surrounding mountains led to limited exposure of the panels to the sun and the resulting relatively persistent snow accumulation Second, at temperatures above 30°C, the panels were comparatively less efficient The associates decided to enhance the system to achieve more efficient powergeneration.

Tsuzuki enhances solar power generation system

• Tsuzuki Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

Tsuzuki Manufacturing Co., Ltd is a Honda affiliate engaged in manufacturing of transmission nents and other important components for automobiles and motorcycles In 1999, the company achieved ISO 14001 certification and is implementing ongoing initiatives to help conserve the global environment After installing in November 2006 a solar power generation system, which produces electricity with zero

compo-CO2 emissions, the company went on to modify the system to maximize its performance.

Solar power generation system performance boosted 15%

To improve the performance of a solar power generation system, it is sary to concentrate sunlight The hint that led to part of the solution of Tsuzuki

neces-Manufacturing`s problem came in the form of reflective sheets lying in an apple

orchard behind the factory Apples farms are numerous in Sakaki, and farmers put

out silver sheets in great numbers on the ground to reflect light onto the apples and

enhance their color Tsuzuki Manufacturing associates thought to use these same

sheets to reflect light onto the solar panels After deciding on the angle to use and

the overall design, in August 2007, associates created a frame to hold the sheets

un-derneath the four rows of panels In addition, they added a reflective panel to the

wall whose angle could be adjusted on the spring equinox, summer solstice, autumn

equinox and winter solstice to take advantage of the different angles of the sunlight When light hits this movable panel,

it is reflected onto the reflected sheets and from there onto the solar panels, and this dual reflection further concentrates the light The use of these reflective surfaces improves the performance of the system by 12% On the wall with the movable panel, associates changed the windows from frosted glass to glass with reflective film, to maximize the light reaching the solar panels.

The orchard next to the factory provides a hint

Trang 21

New ideas inspired by environmental initiatives based on ISO 14001

As a result of these innovations, from December 2006 to November

2007, Tsuzuki Manufacturing saw a 34% increase in power generation over

the rated level of the solar panels, resulting in a reduction of approximately

22 tons of CO2 emissions per year In 2008, two years after implementing

the changes, the performance profile for the system had risen 20% as

com-pared to the previous year In the months in which performance decreases

the most, June to October, the Tsuzuki Manufacturing system achieved a

9% increase in efficiency In contrast, comparable systems in the region

logged a decline in performance for the same period of 0.9% In the Tsuzuki

Manufacturing system, the increase in performance attributable to the

cool-ing system was 1.6%, to the reflective panels 12.0% and to the reflective

window film 1.4% for a total of 15.0% To enhance the performance of

the solar panels themselves would have required a significant investment in

R&D Instead, Tsuzuki Manufacturing demonstrated the viability of

enhanc-ing system efficiency through innovations after installation.

Within the factory, associates can easily track the power generation status of the rooftop panels via a monitor The

innovations used to enhance system performance made an impression on the associates particularly because their

impact is readily appreciable At Tsuzuki Manufacturing, each department develops energy and resource conservation

and other environmental initiatives based on ISO 14001, involving all associates in these efforts Pursuing challenging

goals to conserve the environment can lead to new innovations, and the enhancement of solar panel performance by

Tsuzuki Manufacturing associates is an example of how simple ideas can lead to significant results.

To combat the panels’ lower performance at higher temperatures, Tsuzuki devised

and installed a system of hoses that wrap around the panels, distributing water through

small openings The hose system provided the benefit of melting the snow and

keep-ing the panels in operation The hose system provides water in the summer when the

temperature is above 30°C to cool the panels and in winter when snow falls to prevent

accumulation Although on average in Sakaki it snows only 9.6 days per year, the snow

tends to accumulate, preventing the panels from operating for extended periods Thanks

to this system, the amount of electricity generated during the hottest time of day (12:00

noon to 2:00 p.m.) went up 3.8% To improve the performance of the cooling process,

associates added anti-clouding agents and surfactants to the water to prevent it from

run-ning only in narrow paths across the panels.

• Honda Cars Aichi Co., Ltd.

Associates at Honda automobile dealerships play an important role in reducing the environmental pact of dealer operations through their ongoing efforts to reduce usage of electricity and gasoline In order to raise awareness of the importance of environmental footprint reduction measures among its associates, Honda Cars Aichi has since 2006 participated in Team Minus 6%, a Japanese Ministry of the Environment-supported initiative All dealership associates are working together to reduce CO2 emissions.

im-“Team Minus 6%” reduces environmental footprint

Introduction of cool biz, warm biz practices

Cool biz, warm biz, a Team Minus 6% campaign, encourages businesses to create an vironment in which people feel comfortable working with the air conditioner set at a higher

en-temperature in summer and the heating set at a lower en-temperature in winter At first, some

thought it would be difficult to implement this program in the dealer showroom, as it would

mean not only setting air conditioners to eco mode in areas where customers are negotiating a

purchase or waiting for their cars to be serviced, but also allowing sales and front office staff to

go without neckties However, Honda Cars Aichi used its enrollment in Team Minus 6% as an

opportunity to promote the importance of environmental conservation to its customers, who

in turn praised the company for its environmental stance These measures, once considered

difficult to implement, are now broadly accepted.

Eco Drive workshops

Honda dealerships’ environmental impact reduction initiatives go beyond merely reducing their own environmental footprint They also take the opportunity presented through their safe

driving workshops to teach Eco Drive workshops, in which customers are instructed on efficient

driving practices that help reduce CO2 output by reducing fuel consumption In FY2008, Honda

Cars Aichi held two safe driving workshops at each of its 52 dealerships, totaling 104 workshops

Of the customers who participated in these workshops, 506 were also taught the key points of

ef-ficient driving in Eco Drive classes.
