Honda has launched its 12th annual European Environmental Report, which documents the steps it is taking to achieve global carbon neutrality across all products, operations and business activities by 2050.
This commitment to more sustainable operations goes beyond cars and is shaping the technology being developed in Honda’s motorcycle and electric products divisions – as demonstrated by the arrival of the EM1 e:, the brand’s first all-electric two-wheeler in the region.
It is also influencing all environmental policies, practices and initiatives at the brand’s facilities in the region, as Honda invests in more sustainable materials and renewable energy, significantly reducing CO2 emissions and energy use. One example is the fact that it acquires 97% of its electricity from renewable sources.
“As we continue to increase our focus on sustainability activities globally, it is clear that the European region can play a key role in achieving our goals,” said Katsuhisa Okuda, President and Managing Director of Honda Motor Europe.
“I would like to acknowledge the commitment of all Honda Motor Europe associates, suppliers and stakeholders in supporting these efforts over the past year. It is their hard work and dedication that enables us to progress at an ever-increasing pace towards achieving our environmental and sustainability goals.
Honda’s European Environmental Report also includes an overview of Honda’s global environmental performance, taken from the brand’s wider Sustainability Report for 2023. This report demonstrates its ongoing global efforts to significantly reduce its emissions, while improving recycling processes and the development of renewable energy worldwide.
