Reducing Our Environmental Impact
Honda is working to reduce our environmental impact in three critical action areas: decarbonization, reducing CO2 emissions from our products and corporate activities; clean energy, using carbon-free energy sources; and resource circulation, maximizing the use of recycled and biomass materials, and converting end-of-life products into raw materials for reuse in the supply chain.
moreOur Electrified Future
Honda has a vision to make battery-electric and fuel cell electric vehicles represent 100% of our new vehicle sales by 2040. Hybrid-electric vehicles are a critical pathway toward full-electric vehicles as we advance toward our electrified future through the production and sales of hybrid-electric vehicles in America, including the CR-V Hybrid, Accord Hybrid and Civic Hybrid. Hybrid models now represent more than up to 25% of our U.S. auto sales. In 2024, we launched our first all-electric SUVs, beginning with the 2024 Honda Prologue and 2024 Acura ZDX.
moreDecarbonization with Honda Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology
As we work to realize carbon neutrality, Honda is pursuing the application of hydrogen-powered fuel cell technology to a new range of product categories, shifting from only personal mobility to include heavy duty applications, including commercial trucks, power generators and machinery where there is a tremendous opportunity to advance decarbonization. Fuel cell technology is a high-potential energy carrier with water vapor as the only emission. The new Honda fuel cell system is at the core of our strategy to expand the use of hydrogen to help decarbonize our society.

Securing a Carbon-Free Future through Virtual Power
Tackling CO2 emissions is the biggest challenge our society faces today. That's why we've entered into long-term virtual power purchase agreements for renewable wind and solar power that will cover more than 80% of the electricity Honda uses in North America. Learn how we'll achieve a carbon-free future with our new wind and solar power investments.
Sustainable Manufacturing
Through our “Sustainable Manufacturing” initiative, Honda is working to comprehensively reduce the environmental impact of our product manufacturing by reducing energy use, water use, waste generation, and CO2 emissions.
moreEnvironmental Leadership Programs
Over the past decade, more than 600 Honda and Acura dealers across the U.S. have participated in the Honda and Acura Environmental Leadership Programs to measurably reduce their environmental impact year over year. We realize that other businesses could benefit from our program too, so we’re openly sharing it with the world to reduce our impact together.
