Honda revises and expands Green Purchasing Guidelines; broader scope applied to all suppliers worldwide
13 January 2011
Striving to better track and reduce greenhouse gases and other aspects of its environmental footprint over the entire life cycle of Honda products including the business activities of its suppliers, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. revised the Honda Green Purchasing Guidelines which were formulated in 2001 to guide its environmental conservation activities in the area of purchasing.
Reflecting the globalization of Honda’s purchasing practices, Honda Green Purchasing Guidelines were revised in order to apply to all parts and materials suppliers around the world. With the new guidelines, Honda will strive to better track and reduce the environmental footprint of Honda products throughout the supply chain beyond primary suppliers. The older guidelines with a reduced scope applied only to suppliers in Japan.

Starting in January 2011, Honda will sequentially share the revised guidelines with suppliers around the world and continue its efforts toward the realization of a low-carbon society on a global basis.
Since the announcement of the Honda Environmental Statement in 1992, environmental conservation activities have been a top priorities of Honda’s corporate activities. Honda has been committed not only to develop products with outstanding environmental performance, but also to take various environmentally-responsible measures in all areas of its corporate activities including purchasing, production, administration, logistics, sales, and recycling.
I am sorry but I have to ask. Honestly, does anybody, anywhere under any circumstances give any S--T about the facelifted version of Honda's supply chain?! You want to be environmentally conscience? Stop pumping out 2 million new cars a year!!!!
