How dealers reduce CO₂ emissions

Honda's environmental commitment extends well beyond our fuel-efficient vehicles and products. Green Dealers take actions to measurably reduce their impact, in increasing amounts, year over year.

High-performance lighting

The use of LED lighting in facilities and parking lots along with automation to minimize output when not needed, is a significant way to reduce energy use and associated greenhouse gases.

Efficient HVAC and insulation

Decreasing the amount of energy needed for climate control in dealerships comes from upgrading HVAC equipment and adding building insulation to meet or exceed regional standards.

Energy generated on site

Renewable energy investments through on-site Solar PV installation or purchase agreements can significantly reduce the electricity consumed from the grid. Several dealers are electric grid neutral, producing more energy than they need.

Yearly reductions toward 2050

The Green Dealer Program’s decarbonization roadmap will assist more dealers with more actions each year, helping Honda achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Green Dealers are everywhere

Over 600 dealers and distributors are part of the Environmental Leadership Program, recognizing their energy reductions and environmental performance throughout their facilities.
