Environmental Leadership Program

Together, we’re reducing our impact on the planet

Over the past decade, hundreds of authorized Honda and Acura dealers and distributors across the U.S. have joined the Green Dealer Program, helping to reduce our environmental footprint.

Helping all types of dealers and distributors

Dealers and distributors receive expert assessment and support to implement the most effective practices and proven technologies that help them reduce energy and water use, reduce waste, lower costs, and understand their ongoing investment. Dealers and distributors in the program save an average of $20,000 a year!

Working together for the environment

Green dealers nationwide support Honda’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050

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.

“I can’t think of a reason not to go solar. Given LIPA’s (Long Island Power Authority) high electricity prices, it just makes sense…”

“The support we have received from our partnership with the Honda Environmental Leadership Program benefits not only us, but our customers and our community. We are proud of that partnership.”

“Combining more efficient lights in our showroom and parking lot with temperature setback controls enabled us to reduce our energy consumption by 11.5%.”

Green Dealers are everywhere

Over 600 dealers and distributors are part of the Green Dealer program, recognizing their energy reductions and environmental performance throughout their facilities.
