Basic Approach
ver since the 1960s, Honda has actively endeavored to solve environmental issues. In the 1970s, Honda developed the low-pollution CVCC* engine, which successfully reduced carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, making Honda the world’s first automaker to comply with the U.S. Clean Air Act – a regulation considered to be the most stringent in the world at the time.
Triple Action to ZERO
Initiatives to Achieve Zero Environmental Impact
For people to live on Earth in a sustainable manner, Honda seeks to realize a society with zero environmental impact.
Efforts will be centered around the Triple Action to ZERO program, which integrates three elements— carbon neutrality, clean energy and resource circulation—within a single initiative.
The three elements are closely related. As such, rather than promoting them independently, we aim to maximize synergistic benefits by considering their linkages.
