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.
morePowering Lower-Emissions Mobility
Hybrid-electric vehicles play an essential role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and lowering the environmental impact of everyday driving. Honda hybrid models, including the Prelude and hybrid versions of Accord, Civic and CR-V, now represent about 30% of our Honda auto sales in the U.S.
moreHonda Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology
Honda is pursuing the application of hydrogen-powered fuel cell technology to a range of product categories beyond 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 next-generation Honda fuel cell system is at the core of our strategy to expand the use of hydrogen to help decarbonize 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.
Low-Impact Manufacturing and Supply Chain
Through our Green Factory 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. Honda mass production and manufacturing facilities in the U.S. continue to lead the industry in energy efficiency. In 2025, all Honda U.S. and Canada auto plant locations earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR certification for Outstanding Energy Efficiency.
moreEnvironmental Leadership Programs
Over the last 15 years, 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. Since the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the ENERGY STAR certification for vehicle dealerships in 2024, 14 Honda and Acura dealerships have earned the designation – the most of any automaker.
