TORRANCE, Calif.--American Honda Motor Co., Inc., today released its fourth annual report on the company’s environmental performance in North America. This year’s report adopts a lifecycle assessment (LCA) model for the reporting of Honda’s environmental footprint.

The 2008 North American Environmental Report covers the company’s operations during the period April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008 (FY2008). The report looks at the environmental performance of the company’s automobile, powersports, and power equipment products, its 14 major manufacturing plants in North America, and the corporate activities of 15 Honda group companies in the region.

“We are pleased to provide our customers and stakeholders with this report on Honda’s ongoing efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of its operations in the North American region,” said Tetsuo Iwamura, chief operating officer of Honda’s North American Regional Operation. “Next year will mark the first 50 years of Honda’s operations in North America. As we look forward to the next half-century, we are fundamentally assessing the value we bring to our customers and the communities where we do business, and rededicating ourselves to our goal of preserving ‘blue skies for our children.’”
