2013 Environmental Annual Report Honda South America Reducing and Reporting Environmental Impacts in 6 Regions Worldwide Driven by our philosophy of building products close to the customer, Honda has manufacturing operations in 6 regions worldwide. In fiscal 2013, we delivered 26 million products to customers around the world. Always conscious of the environmental impact of our operations, we are working hard to take environmental responsibility to ever-higher levels around the world. In 2010, we established a new set of CO2 emission reduction targets for our products, aiming by 2020 to provide “good products to customers with speed, affordability, and low CO2 emissions.” As we seek to realize the Honda Environmental and Safety Vision—to realize the joy and freedom of mobility and a sustainable society where people can enjoy life—based on these targets, we are accelerating global efforts to address climate change, energy issues, and other environmental challenges. And amidst increasing global pressure on companies to disclose their environmental impacts, we are actively working to disclose the environmental performance and initiatives of each region, the highlights of which are compiled yearly in regional environmental reports.

Providing the joy and freedom of mobility has been Honda’s aim in the development of personal mobility products since the company’s founding. The joy of mobility is not just the pleasure of driving your own car or motorcycle. It’s also the excitement of making discoveries and realizing dreams through the freedom mobility provides. Realizing a sustainable society where people can enjoy life, on the other hand, will require us to focus corporate resources on addressing climate change and energy issues as top priorities. To realize the two components of our Environmental and Safety Vision, we will lead the industry in offering outstanding environmental and safety performance with products and technologies that proudly bear Honda’s identity. To thrive in an ever-changing global economy and market, Honda must transition to a new global organizational structure that, in every region (the six regions into which Honda has organized its worldwide operations), consistently rolls out competitive products that target local needs before other companies. Specifically, we need to finish the work of assembling an organization that is globally optimized for producing the best products for all of our customers. This includes building development capacities for responding quickly to market needs, enacting product design and procurement structure reform, and further improving production efficiency, all while adapting these organizations and facilities to national and local industrial infrastructure in rapidly growing economies in developing nations as well as in mature economies. The same goes for environmental management. Honda puts climate change and energy at the top of the list of global environmental issues that it needs to address. To respond to the environmental laws, standards, and challenges unique to each country and region, we believe reducing environmental impacts based on firm regional autonomy is the most appropriate business organization for Honda. Direction Striving to Realize the Joy and Freedom of Mobility and a Sustainable Society where People Can Enjoy Life Global operational reform Awareness of the challenges: 2013 a year of action Last year, we announced estimates of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that resulted from Honda business activities in fiscal 2012. These figures, calculated in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the most widely used GHG accounting and reporting standard worldwide, included data on Scope 3 (which includes emissions from use of sold products), making Honda the first automaker in the world to release emissions data covering its entire value chain. In fiscal 2012, Honda emitted the equivalent of 225 million tons of CO2. Of that, 196 million tons—or 87%—came from the use of Honda products sold in that year (which includes GHGs emitted across their lifespans now and into the future). Clearly, improving the fuel efficiency of products must be our core strategy for reducing CO2 emissions, but we think that taking all available actions to reduce emissions—regardless of the size of their impact—is the responsible approach to take as a corporate citizen. Until last year, Honda’s focus in this area was on doing research to understand the size of our environmental footprint. The next stage will include monitoring and managing GHG emissions across our value chain and devising and implementing specific strategies to reduce them, such as expanding hybrid options to our entire lineup and commencing operation of the environmentally advanced Yorii Plant. Expanding this approach beyond CO2 emissions to include all types of environmental pollutants, improving monitoring accuracy, and realizing further reductions, will be our environmental management policy for the years ahead. June 2013 Takanobu Ito President & CEO Chairman, Honda World Environmental and Safety Committee Locations: Forest in Hello Woods, located next to the Twin Ring Motegi speedway 6 Honda South America - 2013 Environmental Annual Report 7 Feature 1 Honda South America Regional Environmental Committee Chairman Masahiro Takedagawa “Next year we will begin operating a wind farm that will satisfy all the electricity needs of our automobile plant in Brazil.” Being “A Company Society Wants to Exist” in All Corners of the World Honda’s six regional environmental committee chairmen look back on fiscal 2013 and forward to the years ahead Honda manages its global production and sales networks through an organization divided into six regions: North America, South America, Europe, Asia & Oceania, China, and Japan. Six regional environmental committees, one for each region, set their own policies and plans for environmental initiatives based on the global direction and supervise and evaluate the divisions that carry out these plans. For the publication of this year’s report, the six committee chairmen were gathered and asked to provide a review of activities in fiscal 2013 as well as their future outlook for global operations. Europe North America China Japan Asia & Oceania South America Tetsuo Iwamura Honda North America Regional Environmental Committee Chairman Masahiro Takedagawa Honda South America Regional Environmental Committee Chairman Manabu Nishimae Honda European Regional Environmental Committee Chairman Hiroshi Kobayashi Honda Asia & Oceania Regional Environmental Committee Chairman Seiji Kuraishi Honda China Regional Environmental Committee Chairman Sho Minekawa Honda Japan Environmental Committee Chairman What is each region like? First, please tell us what defines your region in terms of market characteristics and environmental challenges. • Iwamura: North America is in many ways an environmentally advanced region with very eco-conscious public and private sectors. This is true not only of the U.S., which has the most stringent environmental regulations in the world, but also Canada and Mexico, which tend to follow U.S. regulations. So as a whole, North America is a region that’s rather tough on environment requirements. At the center is the U.S.; its government makes decisions based on hearings with various private sector interests. Honda engages in a wide range of communication activities to take advantage of these opportunities and convey to the government our stance and how companies should act on key issues, and get those ideas reflected in long-term environmental policies. • Takedagawa: South America’s largest market, Brazil, has for the last 40 years been promoting the use of sugar cane-derived bioethanol fuel as a national policy. During that time, flex-fuel cars and motorcycles have moved into the mainstream. Other innovative efforts include the development of the world’s largest environmental protection system, a system to monitor the Amazon rainforest using satellite technology, and the passing of an environmental crimes law, which is unusual on a global level. National environmental programs outside Brazil vary widely, so today I would like to talk mostly about Brazil, which is the most important market for Honda in South America. Interviewer: Michio Shinohara, General Manager, Environment & Safety Planning Office Honda North America Regional Environmental Committee Chairman Tetsuo Iwamura • Nishimae: Europe has watched its automobile market contract in a deteriorating economic environment, from 16 million units in 2006 to less than 12 million units last year. Consumers are wanting smaller and more fuel-efficient vehicles. Another notable trend in recent years has been the dominance of diesel, which now accounts for more than 55% of the market. Diesel engines with a capacity of 1.6 liters or less are particularly popular among fuel-efficient models. With the EU targeting a mandatory CO2 emission limit for passenger cars of 95 g/km—one of the lowest in the world—by 2020, environmental regulations across Europe are also becoming increasingly strict. • Kobayashi: Asia and Oceania is a very broad region that extends from Pakistan in the west to South Korea in the east, and as far south as Australia and New Zealand. As a result, a wide divergence in environmental awareness between countries is one characteristic of this region. Within that context, the automobile market in India and other emerging countries is growing quickly, which has been met with moves in these countries to introduce more progressive environmental regulations. This region also has the highest sales of Honda motorcycles, so what we do to the environmental performance of motorcycle products here will have a large impact on Honda elsewhere. • Kuraishi: China is now the largest mobility market in the world, selling roughly 20 million cars and 25 million motorcycles a year. This has led the national government to set very high environmental targets and ordinary people to take more interest in environmental issues. The actual response to these issues is still inadequate when you look at, say, the problem of fine-particle pollution, but the environment is, as you would expect, a major pillar of Honda’s business in China. Looking to the future, we are actively expanding the application of hybrid technologies for automobiles and electronic fuel injection (see note) for motorcycles, and aim to be the most environmentally responsible automaker as we continue growing in this market. • Minekawa: Japan’s triple disaster of two years ago: the earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown, have had a huge impact on the minds of Japanese people. Since then, customer expectations with regard to sustainability and renewable energy have risen substantially, meaning that companies who are failing to respond decisively to these expectations will be left behind. Furthermore, local public transport systems are going bankrupt more often due to the decline of Japan’s rural population, which is increasing the need for personal vehicles as a means of transportation. Honda hopes to offer viable solutions to issues like these. Note: Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) “In North America, we’ve begun the highly consequential mission of trying to meet the new fuel efficiency standards set for 2025.” Honda South America - 2013 Environmental Annual Report 9 Honda Asia & Oceania Regional Environmental Committee Chairman Hiroshi Kobayashi “Supplier selection and development is the key to expanding local production and procurement in Asia.” Fiscal 2013 in review Thank you for your informative description of each region. Next, what were the most important events that happened in your region in fiscal 2013, on both the business and environmental fronts? • Iwamura: North America launched in April 2012 a Green Dealer program for Acura dealers and Honda automobile dealers in the U.S. The program is meant to encourage a stronger commitment to environmental conservation by awarding silver, gold, or platinum status to dealers based on their environmental efforts and achievements. By the end of fiscal 2013, 40 dealers were awarded, and we plan to increase this to 100 dealers by the end of fiscal 2014. We also established a partnership with a company to lease solar equipment to our customers dealers to encourage them to install solar. In production, our transmission plant in Ohio announced in January 2013 plans to develop and begin operation of a wind farm by the end of 2013. The wind farm is expected to cover about 10% of the plant’s electricity needs. • Takedagawa: In South America, we held two regional environmental committee meetings where we discussed environmental performance at production sites in each country and exchanged ideas for improvement. An increasing number of sites are using smart meters and switching from liquid paint to powder coat. Fuel-efficient products were released, including the Civic and CR-V, both equipped with Eco Assist, and the PCX150 scooter with an idling stop system. In transportation, we worked to reduce both cost and CO2 emissions by increasing the number of motorcycle units per land shipment and by shifting to marine transport. • Nishimae: In Europe, we were excited to introduce a small, 1.6-liter diesel engine— which was a highly anticipated component business-wise—in the Civic, which also marked the debut of Earth Dreams Technology in the region. In spring of last year we started demonstrating a new electric scooter in Barcelona, Spain, and we also released a robotic lawn mower under the name Miimo. We’re making continued efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, for example by installing solar panels at plants and parts Honda European Regional Environmental Committee Chairman Manabu Nishimae 10 warehouses, and by searching for more efficient routes and modes of transport within the complex European distribution system. • Kobayashi: Asia & Oceania posted spectacular business results in fiscal 2013. Automobile sales volume exceeded prior year results by a wide margin in all countries and set a new all-time record for the region. Thailand, India, Indonesia, and a few other countries posted their own record sales. A new power product sales record was also set for the region. Environmentally, we’ve been pushing hard to reduce CO2 emissions from product use, for example by expanding our lineup of electronic fuel injection-equipped motorcycles in Indonesia and raising fuel efficiency levels for new motorcycle models in Thailand and India. For automobiles, we began local production of hybrid vehicles in Thailand and Malaysia. • Kuraishi: China saw its second consecutive year of declining automobile sales. This was largely due to impacts from the disaster in Japan and flooding in Thailand two years ago, and the Senkaku Islands issue last year. To promote the popularization of hybrid vehicles, we introduced the Insight, CR-Z, and ILX hybrid, and set the stage for fullscale adoption of eco-cars by hosting test-drive events and demonstrating the Fit EV in Guangzhou. Contrastingly, we succeeded in expanding our share of the motorcycle and power equipment markets. In production, Dongfeng Honda launched a second plant and Guangqi Honda a third production line, both of which were designed for better environmental performance and associate comfort, by recycling waste heat and using more natural light in offices, among other improvements. • Minekawa: Japan achieved a significant increase in automobile sales in 2012, the driving force behind which was the release of the first mini-vehicle in Japan to feature an Earth Dreams Technology powertrain. We also worked on expanding our hybrid lineup, and the customer response to these efforts showed us that environmental awareness and the demand for better fuel efficiency is getting stronger and stronger. We also increased solar generation capacity at Honda dealers and added a web page showing in real time how much solar electricity is being generated at “In Europe, we will bolster our position by revamping all automobile engines over the next three years.” Honda Japan Environmental Committee Chairman Sho Minekawa “R&D, production, and sales divisions need to work together and figure out how to get satisfying products to more people.” Honda operating sites and dealerships, which is a major step forward in communicating effectively with our external stakeholders in Japan. These achievements will form the basis for company efforts in fiscal 2014. Strategies and ambitions for the future It appears that progress is being made in both business and the environment in each region, with the right balance being struck between the two. In closing, please tell us your region’s action plan for business and the environment in the years ahead. • Iwamura: In North America, we’ve begun the highly consequential mission of trying to meet the new fuel efficiency standards set for 2025. If we don’t clear these demanding targets, we won’t be able to continue doing business. Not only do we need to strengthen the competitiveness of our hybrid lineup but we also need to dramatically increase the fuel efficiency of our gas-engine models. Companies that accomplish this efficiently, quickly, and cheaply will be the ones to flourish in this market. For Honda to flourish, we will bring to bear all the power we have as a company, based on close coordination between front-line associates in development, manufacturing, and sales. • Takedagawa: In South America, we adopted the South America Honda Environment Statement at a regional environmental committee meeting last February. The declaration articulates our decision to put to use all human creativity and wisdom and do our very best to achieve environmental impact reductions and sustainable business activities. As a way of acting on our promise, we plan to develop enough wind capacity to satisfy all the electricity needs of our automobile plant in Brazil, which produces 160,000 units per year. The wind farm is scheduled to go into operation in September 2014 (see page 49). For products, we will market new ecoconscious motorcycle and automobile engines under the name Flex One and engage in branding activities to show how Honda is an environmental leader. • Nishimae: In Europe, we plan to meet customers’ Honda China Regional Environmental Committee Chairman Seiji Kuraishi needs for low emissions, high fuel-economy by revamping all automobile engines over the next three years. We hope to maintain our strong motorcycle reputation in Europe, the biggest market for sport-touring crossover bikes, by leveraging the fuel-efficient NC700 series. Honda’s approach in Europe for the coming years will be about bolstering our position as a company society wants to exist while thinking about the environment and offering advanced environmental technologies in all products— automobiles, motorcycles, and power equipment. • Kobayashi: Asia and Oceania is expected to continue showing impressive growth, but environmental regulations in a number of countries will become increasingly strict. To get the upper hand in this environment we need to expand local procurement and production and find and develop new local suppliers. The key to future business is developing suppliers that can share Honda’s position on the environment and will work with us to reduce impacts. Although awareness and activity vary between countries, we hope to speed up progress by actively promoting the sharing of best practices and bringing everyone up to the same level. • Kuraishi: In China, Honda takes it as its mission to actively increase penetration of eco-conscious engines, the most prominent being the hybrid engine. To that end, we are making preparations to begin local hybrid production within the next three years. As we aim to become the environmental leader and offer the most fuel-efficient products in each category, we will also strive to deliver outstanding value that satisfies our Chinese customers in areas beyond environmental performance as well. By doing so, we hope to be a brand that is well-loved and that encourages positive excitement for the future. • Minekawa: In Japan, public expectations surrounding renewable energy and the environment have risen tremendously. Honda’s technological answer to those expectations actually already exists. All that’s left is to determine how affordably we can provide the technologies to our customers. R&D, production, and sales divisions need to work together to figure out how to deliver good products to customers with speed, affordability, and low CO2 emissions. Solving this problem is an important key to achieving higher growth for our business. Thank you all for your time today. “In China, we’re making preparations to begin local hybrid production within three years.” Honda South America - 2013 Environmental Annual Report 11 Feature 2 The New Yorii Plant, an Experiment in Satoyama Restoration Welcome Center Green corridor Some of the rare animal and plant species living near Yorii Plant The area between the Yorii Plant and nearby Ogawa Plant forms a broad ecosystem that was preserved to keep wildlife populations from being separated. Restoration and conservation efforts are happening throughout this area. Top: Rare animals - Tokyo salamander (Hynobius tokyoensis), Stone loach (Lefua echigonia), Japanese firefly (Luciola cruciata), Great purple emperor (Sasakia charonda) Bottom: Rare plants - Hakuun-ran (Vexillabium nakaianum), Tokyo wood fern (Dryopteris tokyoensis), Hardy orchid (Bletilla striata), Japanese bugbane (Cimicifuga japonica) Biotopes and other areas for conserving and creating new habitat for rare species were included in the plant construction plans. Biodiversity surveys and management will be conducted regularly even after the project is over. Wall-mounted painting robot East biotope Rooftop solar array under construction East biotope Last March, Honda finished construction on a new 250,000-vehicle plant in Saitama, Japan. Set to begin operating in July, the Yorii Plant is not only a state-of-the-art manufacturing compound boasting world-leading energy efficiency and the most advanced equipment available, but, with more than 30% of its land area devoted to vegetation and riparian habitat, it is also ecologically responsible, specially designed for building harmonious relationships with the surrounding human and biological communities. Yorii designated as leader of global Honda manufacturing In July 2010, Honda announced that the Yorii Plant will be indispensable in efforts to establish the highly sophisticated next-generation manufacturing technologies necessary for the production of environmentally responsible products and development of low-carbon manufacturing. Equipped and designed to function as one of the leader plants in Japan of Honda’s manufacturing sites in 27 countries, the Yorii Plant is absolutely packed with cutting-edge environmental technologies. • Product specialization yields 30% reduction in energy use Customizing the plant for production of compact vehicles— such as the new Fit to be released this year—and loading it with dedicated machinery and technologies has resulted in an extremely efficient production system. In fact, combined with the latest energy conservation and management technologies, this system uses 30% less energy per unit1. • 2.6 MW of solar power—the most of any auto factory in Japan Installation of Honda Soltec-brand CIGS thin-film solar panels on rooftops and other surfaces is underway, with plans to increase total generation capacity to 2.6 MW by August 2013—the most of any auto factory in Japan. This is enough to power 459 typical Japanese homes2, and should cut CO2 emissions by roughly 1,200 tons per year. • Produces 28% of the energy it uses through cogeneration Faced with nationwide restrictions on electricity use following the 2011 disaster, the Yorii Plant was equipped with a natural gas-powered cogeneration system that will meet 28% of its electrical and thermal energy needs, reducing the plant’s peak power demand by 45%. Using energy from the system, which is about twice as efficient as energy from the grid, will cut emissions by roughly 3,000 t-CO2 per year. • New paint technologies reduce CO2 emissions by 40% Body coating processes at the Yorii Plant will use a newly developed paint technology called Honda Smart Ecological Paint as well as a newly developed wall-mounted robotic painting system. These innovations result in a 40% shorter coating line and 40% fewer CO2 emissions compared to conventional lines. Toward better relationships with life of all kinds The Yorii Plant is not just about cutting-edge hardware. It is also a testing ground for pioneering efforts in community engagement and environmental conservation. Efforts here will serve as a model for other Honda plants around the world. • Built to support healthy, active ecosystems Before the plant’s construction, Honda hired experts to survey the site and conduct an environmental assessment. Their survey showed that the site and the area around it was once an expansive satoyama environment, one that in modern times had fallen into disuse. Meanwhile, the environmental impact assessment showed that the construction of a plant here would have, as expected, a sizable impact on the surrounding environment. Facing these findings head-on, Honda decided that the 1. Compared to the Saitama Factory’s Sayama Plant 2.

From the habitats of the Tokyo salamander, stone loach, and Japanese firefly—three species that have difficulty relocating and were thought to be particularly vulnerable to the construction—that could not be saved, individuals were captured and bred indoors and then later reintroduced to the biotopes. • 16,000 m2 of life-sustaining biotope Satoyama are rural areas in Japan where humans have actively managed and taken care of the natural environment while sustainably benefiting from the services they provide. The neglect of a satoyama environment causes it to deteriorate, adversely impacting the wildlife it supports. Honda undertook to conserve and even create new habitats for animals and plants living in the site and the surrounding area, particularly species endemic to Yorii. We dedicated 326,000 m2, or 34%, of the site’s 950,000 m2 to vegetated land and riparian habitat for wildlife. The east and west biotopes, which comprise mixed woodlands, streams, rice paddies, and wetlands, total 160,000 m2 and are given central importance in Honda’s effort to cultivate a diverse ecosystem at the Yorii Plant. Special care was also taken to ensure that plants and animals can move freely from these biotopes to other vegetated land and wetland on site, and farther to unmanaged areas beyond the plant. This continuous biological community forms a green corridor1 that extends as far as the Ogawa Plant about two kilometers away. • Conserving rare plant species Rare plant species, such as the Tokyo wood fern, Hardy orchid, and Japanese bugbane, were conserved via transplantation. The Hakuun-ran, a type of orchid that was on Saitama Prefecture’s endangered species list at the time, was given special attention. The population was preserved by propagating it through artificial pollination and growing them in sterile culture media. Surveys show positive trend in biodiversity conservation • Conserving rare animal species During construction, Honda took utmost care to preserve • Increase in rare species confirmed As a result of these efforts, surveys confirmed that the number of rare animal and plant species on site has been increasing since before construction of the plant. • Rare animals - 69 species (2007) - 73 species (2010-2012) • Rare plants - 29 species (2007) - 35 species (2010) • Number of rare species confirmed per area of vegetated land 6 species/ha (2007) - 15 species/ha (2010) In a program developed by the Japan Business Initiative for Biodiversity and Tohoku University for measuring the success of eco-conscious land use projects and conservation initiatives2, the Yorii Plant scored an impressive 84 out of 100. By continuing to support and expand conservation initiatives like these, Honda will strive to build relationships of symbiosis and mutual growth between the Yorii Plant and the surrounding communities. 1. An unbroken stretch of wildlife habitat preserved within a developed area. 2. A 100-point self-assessment developed for evaluating the contribution of a land use project to biodiversity conservation, as measured for example by the area, quality, and organizations and systems dedicated to management of vegetated land.

We will make every effort to minimize and find appropriate methods to dispose of waste and contaminants that are produced through the use of our products, and in every stage of the life cycle of these products. 2. Honda Environmental and Safety Vision Striving to be a company that society wants to exist Honda has endeavored to solve environmental problems since the 1960s. The company introduced the Compound Vortex Controlled Combustion (CVCC) engine, becoming the world’s first automaker to comply with the 1970 U.S. Clean Air Act—a challenge thought by many at the time to be insurmountable. In 1992, released the Honda Environment Statement to divulge the basic stance developed until that time to reduce environmental impacts at every stage in the life cycles of its products. Today, the Honda Environment Statement is the foundation upon which we carry out all of our environmental efforts. Direction Honda’s approach to environmental initiatives Honda Environment Statement Stakeholders Management policies Zero CO 2 emissions using original renewable energy Honda’s goal by the year 2020 is to provide “good products to customers with speed, affordability and low CO2 emissions.” The company dreams of a society where everyone can go anywhere confidently and safely, therefore Honda’s Environmental and Safety Vision was defined, which provides the necessary guidance to develop environmental initiatives in order to achieve this goal. The vision expresses the company’s strong desire to contribute to the sustainable growth of the society and harmony between people, in order to continue offering excitement through the products and services that provide personal mobility and better quality of life in general. Honda Environmental and Safety Vision Honda Philosophy Zero energy risk Zero waste Realizing the joy and freedom of mobility and a sustainable society where people can enjoy life Honda Approach to CSR Propelled by the Honda Philosophy, we set our course on being a company that society wants to exist by sharing joys with people throughout the world. 5. Product-based initiatives 6. Operations-based initiatives In working to achieve this vision, the following objectives shape our environmental initiatives around the world: • At each stage of a product’s life cycle (products, corporate activities), Honda aims to: - Minimize the use of fossil fuel and resources newly recovered from the Earth - Minimize environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions • To reduce to zero greenhouse gas emissions from Honda products used for mobility and in people’s everyday lives. We established “Blue Skies for Our Children” as a global environmental slogan expressing our commitment to do more to realize our environmental and safety vision. The graphic on the left symbolizes the global environmental slogan. 14 Honda South America - 2013 Environmental Annual Report 15 P ursuing the Honda Environmental and Safety Vision Pursuing the Honda Environmental and Safety Vision In working toward the Honda Environmental and Safety Vision for the future, we objectively assess current environmental problems, analyze the kinds of risks and opportunities they represent, and respond in various ways. Honda is promoting environmental initiatives in both business activities and product development, with the aim of eventually becoming a company with zero environmental impact. Current assessment of environmental issues • Climate change and energy issues are our greatest challenges To continue doing business across the globe as a member of society and to make progress toward the Honda Environmental and Safety Vision, we must correctly assess the environmental issues that exist in the world today and the way in which Honda business activities relate to and influence them. Accordingly, Honda has organized various environmental issues and identified those that pose the greatest risk to our business and stakeholders. As a global corporation supplying mobility products, we see climate change and energy issues as the greatest challenges facing the company, followed by resource problems. • Risks and opportunities relating to climate change and energy issues Honda’s response to the key challenges of climate change and energy issues does not just involve initiatives for environmental conservation. While these environmental issues pose risks to our business continuity, they also present opportunities to create and expand new businesses. Honda considers it essential to engage in business activities and decide and execute specific measures, having sufficiently assessed these risks and opportunities. Accordingly, we have compiled all of the major opportunities and risks we currently expect from climate change and energy issues, and have been taking measures in response. Air, water, and soil pollution Waste Resource Substances problems of concern Noise/ Vibration (e.g., electric/hybrid vehicles, solar power) Perceived opportunities Biodiversity climate change and energy issues Incentives to switch to products that use next-generation energy (emphasis on environmental performance) deployment of smart community (see note) technologies) Tighter regulation of product-related GHG emissions Direct operational risks from rising sea levels and extreme weather events Tighter regulation of operationsrelated GHG emissions Worsening resource problems Increasing reporting requirements for GHG emissions Impact on Honda Business Activitiess • Environmental management system To organize and analyze in a timely manner the impacts of various environmental issues on our business, particularly climate change and energy, and to develop and execute specific measures for addressing them, we have constructed a comprehensive global management system. Based on this system, we have established our own CO2 emission reduction targets, considered to be the principal driver of climate change, and are carrying out various initiatives to realize the Honda Environmental and Safety Vision, such as stepping up efforts in each region across the globe to achieve these targets. Assessment of business activity risks and opportunities • Measures based on risk and opportunity assessment To minimize the regulatory risk our products face as emitters of GHGs, we set forth CO2 emission reduction targets for our automobiles, motorcycles, and power products for 2020. Major initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions include the introduction of the new Earth Dreams Technology hybrid powertrains for automobiles, and the marketing of electric vehicles. In response to changes in consumer awareness and growing energy diversification needs, we are continuing demonstration testing of electric mobility products in Japan, the U.S., and China for the establishment of a future smart mobility society. We also are accelerating development projects, having completed the construction of a demonstration Honda Smart Home System house and a solar-powered hydrogen station in 2012. Note: Smart communities: Communities that, through broad partnerships between governments and private entities in the fields of next-generation energy infrastructure, telecommunications, traffic systems, and various products and services, are engineered to be more efficient, self-sustaining, and dynamic. 16 • Giving shape to the Honda Environmental and Safety Vision Changing consumervalues Energy diversification (e.g., We clarify our understanding of such risks and opportunities relating to climate change and energy issues by analyzing them from three different perspectives: by product categories (motorcycles, automobiles, and power products), with a focus on our business and product development operations; by region, which is based on our unique regional management structure; and by function, such as production and sales. The Honda World Environmental and Safety Committee assesses these risks and opportunities from a global perspective, the findings of which are then used by our Regional Operations (regional environmental committees), Business Operations and Functional Operations in the formulation of various management policies and strategies, such as in formulating and updating our medium-term plans for environmental initiatives. We conduct this risk management process every six months and as needed. Triple Zero: Toward a zero-impact Honda’s assessment of opportunities and risks of climate change and energy from a global perspective Honda’s general assessment of environmental issues from a global perspective •Risk management led by the World Environment and Safety Committee Direction Honda’s current recognition and response to environmental issues We are working to reduce GHG emissions in each region and domain of our business in order to minimize regulatory risk relating to emissions from each business site. We compile the results of our efforts and make them known to the public once a year through this Environmental Annual Report. We see the increasing scarcity of resources stemming from the response to climate change and energy issues as another major challenge. In recognition of the risk of resources becoming depleted, more difficult to obtain, and more expensive to dispose of, we are developing alternative technologies, technologies to reduce, reuse, and recycle these resources, and we are also diversifying our supply chain. In fiscal 2013, we actively engaged in measures such as establishing a scheme for the closed-loop recycling of rare earths (see note 2) extracted from nickel metal hydride batteries for hybrid vehicles. Zero CO2 emissions using original renewable energy CO2 Emissions Energy Risk Waste Zero energy risk Zero waste • Triple Zero: The ultimate zero-impact society In order to realize the Honda Environmental and Safety Vision—our vision for the future—we are engaging with climate change, energy and resource issues through our technology and business activities, with the aim of creating a zero-impact society. As a specific model for this, Honda has announced the Triple Zero concept. • Zero CO2 emissions through renewable energy In response to climate change, our long-term goal is to deploy solar power and other renewable energy systems to bring well-to-wheel (see note 3) CO2 emissions down to zero. To get there, we will develop the technologies needed to reduce and eliminate emissions, while at the same time steadily reducing product life-cycle emissions and emissions from business activities through a range of initiatives including product fuel-efficiency improvements and increasing efficiency in product transportation. • Zero energy risk In response to energy issues, our long-term goal is to achieve zero energy risk by becoming energy self-sufficient through the use of solar-powered hydrogen stations, and by raising the efficiency of environmental management through innovations in energy management technologies. To get there, we will reduce energy risk by cutting energy use through product fuel efficiency improvements, and by diversifying energy sources through the deployment of hybrid and other electromotive technologies. Progress in this area will also lead to reduced risk for Honda’s business activities. • Zero waste In response to resource problems, our aim is to completely close the loop for all resources and bring product lifecycle waste down to zero. We will do this by developing technologies to shift away from using precious resources, by developing and perfecting reduction, reuse, and recycling (3R) technologies, and by reducing water resource use. By reducing and eliminating the use of hazardous chemicals as well as waste, we will strive to eliminate all materials from our products and business activities that have an adverse effect on human health and the environment. • Triple Zero symbols In this year’s report, technologies, products, and initiatives that contribute to the realization of Triple Zero are marked with one of three Triple Zero symbols. CO2 emission reduction/ elimination technology Waste reduction/ elimination or 3R technology Energy risk reduction/ elimination technology Note 2: Read more about the recycling of rare earths in Case17 of “Environmental Documentary Honda Face.” (http://world.honda.com/environment/face/2012/). Note 3: Well-to-wheel: Typically, all steps from extracting petroleum resources to their use as fuel in a vehicle. It can also refer to the life cycles of non-petroleum energy resources, from generation to their final use in propelling a vehicle.

Innovative Products ③ Innovative Products internal combustion engine that Power products ① ① Hi Efficient Products emits less CO2 Product-based scenarios for addressing climate change and energy issues Evolution of environmental technologies Direction • Examples of HEPS-compliant models released in FY2013 Automobiles • Honda Environmental Performance Standards To move our products along these scenarios, in fiscal 2012 we established the Honda Environmental Performance Standards (HEPS), an independent product classification and certification system designed to shed light on how Honda products are contributing to achievement of the three scenarios outlined above. Under HEPS, products are grouped into three categories, each with its own requirements for certification. By making all new Honda products compliant with one of the three standards, we will make steady progress toward realizing zero CO2 emissions. Cumulatively, this brings the number of HEPS-compliant products to 66 motorcycle models, 83 automobile models, and 42 power product models, or 191 models in total. By region, 67 models in Japan, 48 models in North America, 58 models in Europe, 28 models in South America, 63 models in Asia & Oceania, and 26 models in China are now HEPS-certified. • 38 HEPS-compliant models released in FY2013 We reviewed products to see how many met the HEPS requirements. In fiscal 2013, 18 motorcycles models, 16 automobile models, and 4 power products—a total of 38 models—were HEPS-certified. Motorcycles • Reducing CO2 emissions in three stages To achieve zero CO2 emissions, one of the three objectives of Triple Zero, our aim is to eliminate the life-cycle emissions (emissions from all stages in the life of a product, from its manufacture using raw materials, to customer use, to disposal) of all Honda products, including through such strategies as renewable energy carbon offsets. However, given that many mobility products today still run on fossil fuel burned in an internal combustion engine, zero CO2 emissions is not something we can achieve overnight. That is why we have developed three scenarios to guide us through steady reductions, and ending with the complete elimination of CO2 emissions. These scenarios, which are to be pursued in parallel, are: 1) Reduce emissions through efficiency improvements of internal combustion engines, 2) Reduce emissions by introducing energy-diversification and environmentally innovative technologies, and 3) Eliminate emissions through the use and [comprehensive/fully integrated management] of renewable energy (see figure below). Hi Efficient Products Products that emit less CO2 emissions because of improved internal combustion engine efficiency. This category includes products that incorporate technologies for improving fuel combustion and transmission efficiency and reducing friction between engine parts.

We also pay close attention to biodiversity as an issue relating to environmental conservation, because our business activities can have an impact on vital natural resources. Tree-planting and water-recycling initiatives at our plants in the 1960s, and our Community Forest program launched in 1976, demonstrate the deep roots of our commitment to environmental conservation and living in harmony with local communities. In 2011, we created the Honda Biodiversity Guidelines as part of the contributions we strive to make to global environmental conservation, a goal set forth in our Honda Environment Statement. Honda Biodiversity Guidelines Administration Basic Statement We recognize, under the Honda Environment Statement, that biodiversity conservation initiatives are an essential part of our commitment to the preservation of the global environment. We will continue to work toward harmony between this commitment and our activities. Priority Activities 1 Development of Environmental Technology We will contribute to the conservation of biodiversity by developing and disseminating technologies for fuel-efficient vehicles, next-generation cars, and energy-production and other technologies for the reduction of environmental impacts. 2 Initiatives Based on Corporate Activities We will work to reduce environmental impacts and ensure the effective use of resources through efficiency improvements. 3 Cooperation with Communities We will implement community-based activities in cooperation with stakeholders, using expertise accumulated by Honda through its initiatives to protect ecosystems, such as the Community Forests and Hello Woods initiatives. 4 Disclosure and Sharing of Information We will share information with society by disclosing the outcomes of our activities. Environmental efforts based on life-cycle assessment Honda’s Business Activities Honda’s Response Reduce environmental impacts from business activities Life cycle stages in Honda's business activities Product development Purchasing Production Transportation Sales and Service Product recycling (3Rs) Administration Factors considered to impact the environment Greenhouse gases Exhaust emissions Raw materials Noise/Vibration Substances of concern Greenhouse gases Raw materials Waste Water use Wastewater Exhaust emissions Noise / Vibration Substances of concern Greenhouse gases Waste Greenhouse gases Removed parts CFCs Waste Greenhouse gases End-of-life products Greenhouse gases Waste Major initiatives in each domain • Promote “green laboratories” • Energy and resource conservation • Zero waste and emissions* initiatives • Promote “green purchasing” • Environmental management • Energy conservation at suppliers • Resource conservation • Zero emissions activities at suppliers Reduce environmental impacts from products Product-based initiatives Make products HEPS-compliant Established in May 2011 Hi Efficient Products Efficiency Improvement • Promote “green factories” • Environmental management • Energy and resource conservation • Zero waste and emissions initiative • Promote “green logistics” • Environmental management • Increase transportation efficiency • Use less packaging • Promote “green dealers” (automobiles, motorcycles, power products) • Environmental management • Increase energy efficiency • Do more for environmental conservation • Increase parts collection, reuse, and recycling • Properly process end-of-life products • Provide technical support for recycling • Promote “green offices” • Environmental management • Energy conservation • Use resources effectively technologies for internal combustion engines Innovative Products Environmental innovation and energy diversification technologies Revolutionary Products Our greatest contribution: reducing environmental impacts from products and operations Resource exploitation, runaway development, pollution, climate change – these and many other impacts of human activities threaten biodiversity. As a manufacturer of personal mobility products, we see our business activities as being most closely associated with the growing environmental impacts resulting from emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and various other pollutants. We believe that minimizing the environmental impacts that result from our business activities and products represents the greatest contribution we can make to protecting Earth’s myriad life forms. We created the Honda Biodiversity Guidelines to set priorities in this effort, focusing our energies on developing environmental technologies and reducing impacts in our business activities, alongside initiatives to operate in harmony with local communities. Renewable energy technologies • Social contribution activities * The aim of zero emissions initiatives is to reduce waste and substances of concern as near as possible to zero. 20 Direction Reducing the amount of CO2 emitted by our products is not all we are trying to do for the environment. Given our philosophy of reducing impacts across entire product life cycles, we were quick to start reducing the environmental impacts of our business activities themselves. Specifically, we divided our business activities into seven domains and have sought to reduce impacts by being aware of all the factors in each domain that place stress on the environment. We believe that steadily reducing environmental impacts from both our business activities and products will help us achieve the Honda Environmental and Safety Vision and also lead to recognition of Honda as a company society values. 1. Develop technologies to reduce impacts on the environment We will develop technologies to reduce the environmental impacts of personal mobility, since this represents the greatest contribution we can make. Technologies include fuel-efficient and next-generation vehicles, and technologies that harness alternative energies. 2. Make business activities species-friendly We aim to make our business activities more sustainable in themselves, by releasing less environmental pollutants, including GHGs, waste, and substances of concern. 3. Work to protect nearby ecosystems We have already gained a wealth of knowledge about how to maintain and restore ecosystems through our Community Forest and Hello Woods initiatives. Working in collaboration with nearby communities, we will use this knowledge and experience to implement programs to protect local species and make our business activities friendlier to them. 4. Communicate openly with the public We will endeavor to openly communicate with the public about the details and outcomes of activities we implement from the new perspectives offered by these biodiversity guidelines. Honda South America - 2013 Environmental Annual Report 21 B iodiversity Initiatives Collaborating with local communities • Community Forest initiative Following the thinking of Honda founder Soichiro Honda, who said that no concrete walls should be built to separate local communities from the grounds of Honda facilities, Honda used trees instead of walls to mark the boundary of its Sayama (now Saitama) Factory in 1964. In 1976, this idea was expanded with the launch of the Community Forest initiative, a program to plant indigenous trees at each facility and use natural ecosystems to cultivate forests with numerous tree species. The forests were managed like the forests surrounding shrines, where native trees are left and woodland is cultivated by leaving it as untouched and natural as possible. Now the Community Forests at Honda facilities have finally grown to resemble true forests. Birds make their nests in trees 20 meters high, small mammals are a common sighting, and luscious greenery and seasonal flowers bring peace of mind to Honda associates and local residents. • Introducing satoyama methods The survey results revealed several problems with the Community Forests, which had grown far larger than had been assumed three decades earlier. Trees overhanging roads were obstructing passage, large quantities of leaves were accumulating in surrounding neighborhoods, and non-native species that were propagating in the forests were found to pose a possible threat to nearby ecosystems. In order to improve this situation, we revised our Community Forest management policy from one based on a laissez-faire approach to one involving active management. We decided to introduce satoyama practices, such as thinning and pruning trees and removing foreign species, to help maintain biological vitality and diversity and make the forests more functional and beneficial to local communities. Summary of biodiversity survey results in Japan In accordance with sangen-shugi, the Japanese principle of going to the actual place, observing the actual situation and basing decisions on actual facts, field surveys and literature reviews were carried out from 2011 to 2012 on the environments and biological communities surrounding our five main factories. The results of the research are being used to develop a Honda action plan on biodiversity conservation. •= Survey completed prior to 2011. Actions being devised and tested. •= Survey carried out from 2011-2012. Actions being devised and tested. •= Survey planned for 2013 or later. • • Sayama Plant, Saitama Factory • Mooka Plant, Tochigi Factory Birds of prey and other relatively large animals observed. The birds may be using the premises as a feeding ground or resting place. Orchids were found in the Community Forest, which may be a safe haven for these rare species. Significant danger of invasion of foreign plants due to the site being located in an urban area. Forest elements that remain on site may be functioning as a habitat and as a green corridor within the city. • • Kumamoto Factory • Hosoe Plant, Hamamatsu Factory • Aoi Plant, Hamamatsu Factory Biological species are remarkably more numerous compared to other factories due to it being a riparian environment with a site area of 80 hectares. Foreign grasses are especially conspicuous in wetland areas and may cause native species to disappear. Countermeasures are being devised. Environment is maintained as grassland without trees and is one of the few inhabited by dragonflies and birds of prey. Birds that prefer to be close to the sea can be observed here. A biotope maintained at the southwest end of the site may become a valuable habitat for local species, but species and conditions not native to the area are common, and the ecosystem may suddenly collapse due to the invasion of aggressive non-native species. • Initiative at Aoi Plant, Hamamatsu Factory A biotope was constructed on the grounds of the Hamamatsu Factory’s Aoi Plant in 2007. The biotope plays an important role in connecting with the local community, as it provides a venue for introducing visitors to the plant and for local elementary school students to study (see note). The management method of this biotope was also reevaluated at the time of the biodiversity survey. In fiscal 2013, we continued work to create a healthier biotope, such as by removing aggressive non-native species and opening up spaces to increase sunlight access. Direction • Biodiversity surveys at major business sites With a view to establish its own biodiversity policy, Honda carried out biodiversity surveys from 2011 to 2012 to assess the natural environments surrounding our operations and determine what kinds of organisms and how many inhabit them. These surveys also included a factual survey of the Community Forest initiative spanning the three decades since its launch. Based on this, Community Forest management methods were reassessed. • For biodiversity conservation Honda conducts various initiatives to reduce environmental impacts from its products and business activities, based on the recognition that success in this area is most vital to the conservation of biological diversity. Forging positive relationships with local communities and partnering with them to preserve and cultivate nearby habitats is also an important endeavor in this regard. • Surveys expanded to major Honda subsidiaries in Japan Based on the biodiversity survey results, an investigation into how business sites should benefit local ecosystems and human communities began at major Honda factories, with a view to starting trial runs in fiscal 2014. In addition, the scope of research was expanded to include major subsidiaries, with surveys beginning at five Honda R&D Co., Ltd. sites (Wako, Asaka, Tochigi, Tochigi Proving Ground, and Takasu Proving Ground) and the Hidaka offices of Honda Access Corporation. Moving forward, we will aim to establish the most suitable management methods at all Honda facilities as we strive toward harmonious relations with local communities. Hello Woods activities • Hello Woods, home to diverse wildlife Hello Woods, located within the Twin Ring Motegi speedway complex in Motegi, Haga-gun, Tochigi Prefecture, opened in 2000 to help foster closer connections between people, nature, and mobility. We have made various efforts to restore this expansive, 460-hectare plot of satoyama ecosystem (see below) after decades of neglect. The site now has various facilities for teaching children about nature in a fun-oriented, outdoor setting. At Hello Woods, we have worked for more than 10 years to restore the satoyama ecosystem, such as by carrying out systematic thinning, bush cutting, tree planting, and redevelopment of fallow fields. Motegi is originally an area rich in species diversity, as it possesses the unique weather characteristics of both southern and northern Japan. Capitalizing on these characteristics, Hello Woods has been participating in Monitoring Sites 1000*, a project run by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment since 2008, by carrying out fixed-point observations of the ecosystem. In this way, the Hello Woods initiative is restoring this rich ecosystem and even helping to establish new biological communities. We are using the satoyama development and ecosystem conservation know-how we gain through this initiative to inform initiatives in other regions and strengthen ties with local communities. Wildlife spotted at Hello Woods Large Japanese field mouse (Apodemus speciosus) Japanese badger (Meles meles anakuma) Wild boar (Sus scrofa) Japanese hare (Lepus brachyurus) Japanese squirrel (Sciurus lis) Japanese giant flying squirrel (Petaurista leucogenys) *Since fiscal 2009, Hello Woods has been a participant in Monitoring Sites 1000, a national ecosystem-monitoring project launched by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment. As a fixed observation point for six of the nine survey categories (flora, birds, medium and large mammals, frogs, butterflies, and fireflies) Hello Woods submits survey reports for the community of Motegi-machi in Haga-gun, Tochigi Prefecture. The Satomaru, a wood hauler currently under development to reduce work in the restoration of satoyama Thinning, while necessary to maintain satoyama, is being abandoned because of the difficult labor involved, such as cutting trees on steep slopes and transporting cut wood off-site. Today, satoyama are deteriorating throughout Japan. Forestry work such as periodic thinning is necessary to maintain satoyama, but carrying felled trees and branches to the foot of the mountain is hard work. Forestry work is often abandoned because of a lack of profitability. In response, Honda is developing the Satomaru, a wood hauler that uses the intelligence technology of Honda Robotics to automatically navigate through the mountains, in order to reduce the burden of maintenance work and assist in satoyama restoration.

Divisions Europe 19 companies World Environment and Safety Committee • Emergency protocols In anticipation of accidents and emergencies that could cause environmental pollution, each factory and division has clearly-defined procedures for preventing pollution. P A Regional environmental committees reduce environmental impacts in one’s work by conserving and recycling resources and energy in accordance with environmental laws and regulations, company policies, and internal standards. We have appointed corporate directors to serve as Compliance Officers, and work systematically to enhance compliance and risk management under the supervision of directors in charge of each part of the organization. Global • Organizational structure In December 1991, Honda created what is now the Japan Environmental Committee and assigned it a central role in governing the environmental affairs of the company. This structure has been expanded into a global environmental management system with regional environmental committees in North America, South America, Europe, Asia & Oceania, and China. In March 1995, the World Environment and Safety Committee was established to manage environmental as well as safety initiatives (see note), through which Honda aims to create a motorized society that is safe for all people. The World Environment and Safety Committee discusses, determines, and reviews annual plans for implementing environmental conservation activities at the global level based on mid-term business plans, and has created an environmental management system that integrates activities on the global level with those on the factory floor. The company’s president and CEO currently chairs the committee, a reflection of Honda’s recognition that environmental issues, especially climate change and energy, are critical to Honda’s business operations. The World Environment and Safety Committee develops mid-term policies and plans for global environmental initiatives based on mid-term policies and management plans determined by the Management Council. Individual divisions prepare detailed plans for each region and business area, and then finalize the overall plans after discussion and approval by the regional environmental committees. The regional environmental committees discuss and evaluate annual achievements under the plans and, based on the results, create new targets and plans with the objective of achieving mid-term policies and plans. The progress of environmental initiatives by Honda Group companies, as well as themes affecting multiple domains around the world, are reported to the World Environment and Safety Committee and then factored into the next year’s annual plans and the next mid-term business plans and policies. Honda follows the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle to promote continuous improvement in environmental performance in each region: Japan, North America, South America, Europe, Asia/Oceania, and China. One hallmark of this system is that planning and implementation are not simply delegated to specialized staff, but that all associates are expected to be involved. The basic thinking is that all associates should be actively tackling environmental issues as a part of their daily work. • Regulatory compliance In accordance with the Honda Environment Statement, Honda introduces environmental management systems at all business sites and in each division, promotes continuous efforts to improve environmental performance, and strives to comply with voluntary environmental standards that are more stringent than national and regional regulations. We revised the Honda Conduct Guidelines in April 2013 (formulated 2010) and are implementing it throughout the Honda Group in Japan and worldwide. The document calls on Honda associates to comply with laws and regulations, company rules, and social norms and, for the purposes of environmental conservation, to strive to Note: Includes facilities of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. and its major consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies.

As the first milestone in this endeavor, in August 2012 Honda became the world’s first mobility company to disclose estimates of all GHG emissions from its entire value chain in conformity with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol)1, currently the world’s most widely used GHG emissions accounting standard. Honda released estimates of not only emissions from our own business activities (scope 1 and 2), but also all upstream and downstream activities (scope 3), from the procurement of raw materials, to the transportation and customer use of Honda products, and finally to the treatment of end-of-life products2. Now we are taking steps to get a more accurate reading of the emissions that come from our entire value chain. We are doing this by expanding the boundaries of data collection3 and improving the accuracy of calculation methods used for categories that account for the largest percentage of scope 3 emissions (other indirect emissions). As a result, the latest calculations show that GHG emissions from Honda business activities in fiscal 2013 were 4,950,000 t-CO2e, and total value chain emissions, which also includes other indirect emissions, were 275,910,000 t-CO2e. We hope to leverage these improvements in data measurement and management to devise more effective emission reduction strategies. 2010 2011 26,200 32,100 2011 2012 26,200 00,000 • Promoting lifecycle assessment (LCA) 00,000 We have2012 been0 developing methods to reduce the 10,000 our own 20,000 30,000 40,000 environmental0 impacts10,000 of our business activities 20,000 30,000 and across 40,000 0,000,000 (年度)2008 product life cycles, from production through disposal. 0,000,000 (年度)2008 2009 In March 2002, we built the Honda Life-Cycle Assessment 0,000,000 1,280,000 2009 2010 発生量 (LCA) Data System, a system for measuring CO2 emissions 1,280,000 2010 1,210,000 2011 発生量 from all business activities, and since then have been 1,210,000 2011 0,000,000 2012 making focused efforts to meet reduction targets set for each domain—production, purchasing, sales and services, 0,000,000 2012 0 300,000 600,000 900,000 1,200,000 1,500,000 administration, transportation, and so forth. 0 300,000 600,000 900,000 1,200,000 1,500,000 In fiscal 2007, we began operating a new, model-specific LCA system for calculating the life-cycle emissions (単位 of :at) 000 NOx (単位:t) single vehicle, from the procurement 000 of raw materials 000 NOx SOx through disposal.

This means that determining how to reduce GHG emissions from the use of Honda products poses the greatest challenge to reducing total emissions. The biggest step in reducing emissions from product use is improving fuel efficiency. We set a 2020 target to reduce global average product CO2 emissions by 30% from 2000 levels, based on which we will strive to improve product fuel efficiencies year after year. During this time, however, we still expect our scope 3, category 11 emissions to continue growing. Production growth, which follows global economic growth, particularly in Asia, is occurring at a faster rate than improvements in fuel efficiency, so the net effect will be an increase in GHG emissions. But still, at some point we need to turn this growth curve downward. Honda’s vision is to reach a point where total emissions from product use are declining even as production is expanding. To achieve that turnaround, we set our own standards called the Honda Environmental Performance Standards (HEPS). The goal is eventually to reduce environmental impacts to zero, an initiative we call Triple Zero. Along with HEPS we 2000 年 developed scenarios that represent the steps we plan to take 100% 2000 年 in reducing GHG emissions by complying with100% the standards, including improving product fuel efficiency and increasing use of renewable energy.

These figures are different from those assumed for scope 3, category 11 emissions under the GHG Protocol. •Scope 1: Direct GHG emissions from business activities, as defined by the GHG Protocol (examples: combustion of fuel oil at a manufacturing plant, emissions from work vehicles and company cars). The scope 1 figures presented in this report include all GHGs emitted directly by Honda Motor Co. and its 461 consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies worldwide. •Protocol 2: Indirect GHG emissions from a company’s use of energy, as defined by the GHG Protocol (examples: electrical energy used by a manufacturing plant or office). The scope 2 figures presented in this report include all GHGs emitted directly by Honda Motor Co. and its 461 consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies worldwide. •Scope 3: Other indirect GHG emissions not included in scope 1 and scope 2, as defined by the GHG Protocol. Scope 3 is systematically broken down into 15 categories (examples: category 11 includes emissions arising from the use of sold products; category 12 includes emissions arising from the end-of-life treatment of sold products). •The category 11 figures presented in this report represent the cumulative amount of greenhouse gases that will have been emitted by products sold by Honda in fiscal 2012 (automobiles, motorcycles, power products) as a result of their use by customers from the time they received those products until they dispose of them in the future. The “scope 3, other categories” figures presented in this report are the sum of emissions from categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, and 15. As per the GHG Protocol, Honda excludes categories 8, 13, and 14 from its calculations, as these categories are either not part of Honda business activities or emissions from these categories are accounted for in other categories.

The reason category 11 is so large is because it includes not only the CO2 that Honda products sold in fiscal 2013 emitted in fiscal 2013, but also the CO2 those products will emit in the future. In other words, when a customer in Japan purchases a Honda vehicle, we expect that customer to drive the vehicle 10,000 km a year for 15 years*1. Scope 3, category 11 is where we calculate all the CO2 that will be emitted during that time. Scope 3 includes future emissions because it is based on an accounting method that counts emissions not when they occur but when the business activities that will result in those emissions occur. The 26 million automobiles, motorcycles, and power products that Honda sold to customers around the world in fiscal 2013 will continue emitting CO2 as they are used and until they are disposed of at some point in the future. Scope 3 says that these emissions are the result of Honda having sold its products in fiscal 2013. 4,000 3,540 CO2 排出量 emissions 33 ( Global Environmental Management South America environmental impact Europe South America 1 2 3 4 20,700 20,900 19,400 22,900 Indirect energy consumption 2009 2010 2011 2012 977 1,193 1,219 1,180 19,700 21,700 20,300 22,300 Direct emissions 2009 2010 2011 2012 33 31 33 43 1,310 1,330 1,240 1,410 Indirect emissions 2009 2010 2011 2012 21 30 14 107 2,770 3,000 2,960 3,540 Water use 2009 2010 2011 2012 1,632 1,774 2,078 1,961 33,800 34,400 30,100 34,300 Water use, wastewater volume Wastewater volume 2010 2011 2012 1,250 1,459 1,014 23,200 20,900 21,100 Waste landfilled 2009 2010 2011 2012 3 1 2 2 38 32 26 31 Total waste generated 2009 2010 2011 2012 62 77 72 81 1,150 1,280 1,210 1,370 Waste generated, landfilled Unit TJ Honda wins green plant award in Turkey Honda Turkiye A.S.

Now, Honda’s U.S. sales subsidiary, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. has undertaken an initiative at nine parts delivery centers in the U.S. to eliminate waste. Three of these centers, which ship millions of parts each year to dealerships, have already achieved zero waste to landfill through their focused effort in recycling, reusing, and reducing the use of packaging materials. American Honda also has started a Dealer Recycling Program, aimed at achieving the cleanest and most environmentally friendly dealer network in the industry. Although voluntary, most Honda and Acura automobile dealers in the U.S. are participating in the program. The parts distribution center in Chino, California, was the first to achieve zero waste to landfill Supporting customer’s and dealer’s switch to solar In February 2013, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. initiated a new partnership with SolarCity, America's leading provider of solar power systems for businesses and homes. Through this partnership, Honda is making it easier for Honda and Acura customers and dealers to convert to solar power for a significant portion of their energy requirements and to reduce their CO2 emissions. Thousands of phone inquiries were received in the first five weeks after the launch of the program. The number of contracts reached 473, totaling 1.5 megawatts (MW) of solar power being installed at customer's homes and at dealerships.

In this document we also report the company’s global actions, as well as guidelines and targets set forth by Honda, seen as crucial for the strategy’s success towards sustainable development, always focusing on respect for the environment. Honda’s management vision targeted to 2020 is to “provide good products that maximize the joy of customers, with speed, affordability and low CO2 emissions”. With that in mind, the company’s environmental vision was defined as “the joy and freedom of mobility and a sustainable society where people can enjoy life”. In order to achieve this vision, Honda has placed the issues related to energy and climate change as extremely important matters, and one of the greatest challenges to our business is to reduce CO2 emissions from our products. That is why we created the 2020 Product CO2 Emissions Reduction Targets, through which we seek to reduce the average amount of CO2 emitted per unit of automobiles, motorcycles, and power products by 30% from 2000 levels by 2020. In Brazil, which is the biggest market in South America, we are continuously expanding the line-up of FlexFuel Vehicles. In automobile business, we released in 2013 our first sub tank less FFV, Civic and CR-V, and in motorcycle business, in August 2013 an important milestone was reached by Honda in Brazil, reaching 3 million units of Flex-Fuel Motorcycles. Besides emission from products use, in South America, we are also focused on reducing emissions of CO2 in all of our corporate activities domain, such as development, suppliers, logistics, service, office, etc; and we have taken actions to reduce this and other pollutants that result from our these activities. In order to share experiences and the results achieved, thus ensuring safe progress, we created the South America Environmental Forums. Representatives of the countries that host our business units (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru) meet twice a year since 2011. Observing our respect for natural resources and meeting our goals and commitments to renewable energy, we have recently announced the construction of a wind farm in the city of Xangri-lá in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The wind farm is expected to supply all the energy demands of our car factory located in Sumaré (SP). Honda will make an initial investment of 100 million Brazilian Reais for the initiative, which is the first approach among car manufacturers present in Brazil. Upon start-up of the wind farm in September 2014, Honda will contribute to reducing about 2.2 thousands of tons of CO2 per year, equivalent to approximately 30% of the plant’s total emissions. Thus, we work to create a society where people can pursue their dreams, striving to protect human health and preserve the environment at every stage of our business activities. Honda will keep taking its efforts to become “the company that society wants to exist.” Honda South America Colombia Honda Selva del Peru S.A. - Production of motorcycles.

Honda South America - 2013 Environmental Annual Report 41 Bi-fuel vehicles in Brazil: Honda Flex One Technology 1. Product Development For Honda, quality and environmental preservation are indispensable items at any stage of the lifecycle of its products. That includes the creation, manufacturing and utilization of its automobiles, motorcycles and power products, for this reason Honda is constantly looking for new solutions to reduce CO2 emission rates when consumers use its products. The company has been engaged with the development of new environmental technologies that might satisfy the increasing global demand for friendlier automobiles and motorcycles in relation to the natural environment, and that enable the utilization of cleaner and renewable energies, providing the unique joy of driving a Honda product. In addition to personal mobility products, Honda also develops generators, lawn mowers, motor pumps, stationary engines, outboard engines and shearers, which contribute to people’s quality of life. Honda is the largest engine manufacturer in the world, and is recognized as a pioneering company in the manufacturing of products with the four-stroke technology. In addition to being more powerful, those engines are less polluting than the traditional two-stroke engines, since they do not work by burning oil, just gasoline. Based on those principles, Honda has been developing and implementing many different environmental and energy technologies in order to contribute to the quality of life of the future generations. Honda has been the first company to make motorcycles with bi-fuel engines, a mix of ethanol and gasoline with any combination among those two fuels. At the plant of Manaus (AM), more than 60% of the motorcycles made there come with the FFV system (flex fuel vehicles), developed by the company especially for the Brazilian market. Motorcycle model CG 150 Titan was the first one, followed by other models that also run on ethanol or gasoline: NXR 150 Bros, CG 150 Fan and Biz 125. In 2013, it was time for the 300-cc models to take part in the group of flex motorcycles, such as models XRE 300 and CB300R. This technology is based on the innovative electronic injection system PGMFi, developed by Honda. In that system the oxygen sensor identifies the quantity of O2 emitted after combustion, which allows the ECM module (the system’s electronic brain) to perfectly adjust the injection and ignition times, according to the quantity of ethanol found in the fuel mix, since the larger the quantity of ethanol, the larger the O2 emissions will be. Before the motorcycles, Honda started to launch Flex automobile models in 2006, considering how popular the bi-fuel concept is in Brazil. The first model to be launched was Civic, followed by Fit and City. Currently, all the models made in Brazil for the Brazilian market are FFV. In October 2012, Honda announced it would further enhance its bifuel system technology, both for motorcycles and for automobiles, with the “Honda Flex One Technology” concept. Among the automobiles, model “Civic 2.0” was launched in January 2013 with the Flex system, which dispenses with the cold-start sub-tank. With the new system, by pushing the control button of the switch that unlocks the doors, a set of heaters start to work directly on the fuel line, generating the ideal temperature, especially for ethanol, to provide an air/ fuel mix that’s ready to start immediate combustion. The result is a fast and safe start, even in a lowtemperature situation. Also thanks to that system, consumers do not have to worry about filling the subtank with gasoline. Honda has also launched Model CR-V Flex 2013, with that same system. The new technology is a part of the Honda Flex One concept, which represents Honda’s efforts to innovate in terms of sustainable mobility, by allying high performance and low pollutant emissions in all of its products. ECON Function 42 a slightly longer time. In the automatic adjustment mode, the air conditioning system changes the external and recirculated air ratio according to the situation. When the ECON function has been activated, 70% of the air comes from recirculation in order to reduce the system’s load. The ECON function also reduces the fan’s speed, decreasing the electric demand. The ECON function also interferes with the autopilot’s functioning, limiting the acceleration to reach the programmed speed in the case of speed resumption. Thus, the vehicle reaches the desired speed in a smoothest manner. That acceleration limitation aims at saving fuel and may cause speed variations on slopes. To help drivers save fuel during driving, an instant fuel consumption meter has been added on the right side of the speedometer, and to visualize consumption efficiency sidebars have been designed in the digital speedometer, which alter their colors as the vehicle is driven around. That coloring varies from dark blue to a turquoise hue, until it becomes green, which indicates a more economic driving. Honda South America - 2013 Environmental Annual Report Honda South America The vehicles made by Honda also portray the brand’s commitment to the natural environment. The models Civic, CR-V and Accord have started to Feature the ECON button, which activates and deactivates the economic driving assistance function. When the button is pushed, a “ECON ON” message is shown on the i-MID panel, and many systems in the vehicle have their functioning changed to give priority to the low consumption of fuel, such as the electronic injection control – ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) –, air conditioning and autopilot, without any power loss. For those who appreciate a more sportive driving, they only have to deactivate the function. When the driver demands maximum performance through the accelerator pedal (stepping heavily on the pedal), the system, which has an electronic accelerator, immediately responds. With the ECON function activated, it’s possible to control the throttle plate’s opening and, consequently, control the response to that action, making the vehicle more economic. The vehicle will reach the desired speed, however after 43 2. Purchases | Green Purchasing Motorcycle Atmospheric Emission Control Honda’s pollutant emission control is rigid and judicious, and it even provides rates below the level required by the Air Pollution Control Program for Motorcycles and Similar Vehicles (Promot), implemented in Brazil. The motorcycle plant in Manaus (AM) was the first in South America to calculate the pollutant emission rates of its products in that very manufacturing unit. The Gas Analysis and Measurement Lab was created as part of a pioneering initiative, in order to ensure quality excellence and environmental commitment.

In 2011, the action gathered space in South America, and since then awareness-building actions have been undertaken with the purpose of integrating suppliers into the company’s guidelines: a commitment to the natural environment, through the GHG Protocol program. An action to illustrate that program was the workshop held in April 2012, which gathered Honda Automobile’s main partners to disclose the company’s environmental proposals. The program firstly aims at collecting data on the environmental emissions generated by suppliers and at check the consistency of those values. The next steps will involve works focusing the achievement of the emission reduction goals related to greenhouse gases, in addition to the rational use of the electric power in their processes. That material will be utilized as a comparative base in order to estimate the environmental contribution promoted by Honda and its partners.

NOx hydrocarbon % below the limit To manufacture its products, Honda needs to work in partnership with many suppliers. Since the purchase of those materials is a part of the company’s production cycle, those partners are engaged and contemplated according to the environmental and quality regulations required 45 Honda Automóveis do Brasil – Sumaré – SP 3. Production | Green Factory During the manufacturing of its products, the consumption of the resources utilized in production has been constantly optimized by Honda, in order to contribute to environmental preservation, following Honda’s global Green Factory concept. It involves many actions focused on emission reduction, waste management, rational use of water, and energetic efficiency, among other initiatives that aim at minimizing the impacts generated by the production process, reflecting the company’s environmental commitment, which governs the company’s activities all over the world. Honda Automóveis do Brasil, since its foundation, in 1997, has been developing actions directed to environmental preservation. As a consequence of those initiatives, in 2005 the plant was granted the ISO 14.001 environmental certification. In 2008, that plant started to apply Honda’s global Green Factory concept. In 2011, that unit started to integrate the Brazilian program to manage gas emissions, the GHG Protocol. Rational use of water The aware consumption of water is already a part plant’s culture for many years, and is subject to constant awareness-building campaigns among collaborators, including many different actions and projects developed by them that aim at reducing the consumption of that resource in a rational and efficient manner. One of the highlights of 2012 was the painting department, which changed the PLC (Program Logic Control) schedule. Now a robot recognizes when one of the carts (hanger) is empty and does not activate the spray valve anymore. With that measure, 9,170 thousand liters of water have no longer been consumed every year in the plant.

A much lower result than the initial goal, which was of 2.26 m³ per car. Peru Honda South America Moto Honda da The water that supplies the plant is treated by the Water Treatment Station (WTS), whose daily capacity amounts to 720 thousand liters per day. For industrial use, it’s necessary that the liquid receive a special treatment, with chemical products. In the case of domestic use, it comes from artesian wells. The water utilized in the plant of Sumaré (SP) is treated before it’s returned to the natural environment at the Effluent Treatment Stations (ETS) located in Honda’s very facilities. The fluids derived from production, refectories and restrooms go through a rigid biochemical purification process. After being treated, the water is directed to the stabilization pond. A part of it is destined to irrigation and the remainder is returned to the Ribeirão do Quilombo, contributing to preserve the local aquatic life.

In 2012, a measure adopted by the painting team members promoted a decrease in the equipment´s waiting time and generated a reduction of 258 tons of CO2 , which were no longer emitted due to an electricity and gas consumption decrease. The initiative was rewarded by Honda, recognizing their work with the Honda 2012 Environmental Prize – Gold. In addition to that initiative, other actions have also been implemented to contribute to power consumption reduction: the machining equipment, for example, is turned off during lunchtime, thus avoiding that 15 tons of CO2 are emitted per year. The replacement of the lamps was also very important to reach the plant’s annual goal. Incandescent lanterns replaced the resistances utilized to heat the electrode greenhouses. With that change, power consumption decreased by 90%, and half a ton of CO2 has no longer been emitted per year. This power generation should be made through wind power in a park that will be built in the city of Xangri-La, in the coast of Rio Grande do Sul. Nine wind turbines will be installed in this wind farm, generating a total of 95,000 MW per year, enough electricity to supply a city of 35,000 inhabitants. This measure will provide a reduction of 2,200 tons of CO2 emitted per year. To make that project viable, a new company has been created in South America to manage the park, Honda Energy do Brasil Ltda. Wind Park - Honda Energy The plant’s roofs also count on translucent tiles, which utilize sunlight, thus reducing power consumption. Another action that contributed to 25% power consumption reduction was the installation of a sectorization system in the plant’s switches, thus avoiding the emission of 5 tons of CO2 per year. Collaborators are also engaged in searching equipments that might be unnecessarily turned on during weekends. An internal commission, denominated CICE (Internal Energy Conservation Commission) was also created to stipulate and control the department’s goals on the use of electric power and other resources. The goal to reduce CO emissions amounted 107.8 ² kg per manufactured car and the achieved result amounted 94.7 kg per manufactured unit in 2012. South America is deemed to be very privileged in relation to the other continents because it’s rich in terms of vegetation, mineral resources (gas and petroleum), and counts on one of the largest river and lake reserves in the world. A large part of the electricity that supplies the South American countries is generated from water, which is considered a clean energy, since it employs renewable resources. But there is an impact that need to be minimized. Based on the global premise of reducing CO2 emissions in its activities and seeking for a power source that generates less environmental impact, Honda has developed a pioneering plan in the automobile sector in South America, which gathers state-of-theart technology and environmental preservation. Honda Automoveis will be the first car manufacturer in Brazil to have all its electricity needs met by selfgeneration.

That allows the generator to produce electric power. 2 Honda South America - 2013 Environmental Annual Report 49 Waste management Atmospheric Emission Reduction Honda Automóveis do Brasil in Sumaré (SP), has been implementing a series of improvements throughout the years in order to reduce as much as possible the environmental impact generated by the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC). That plant utilizes the electrostatic painting system. Thus, the plastic parts to be painted count on the support of magnetism, which attracts the paint into the material. Therefore, it reduces VOC emissions, in addition to optimizing the use of paints (this method utilizes 90% of the paint, while in the remaining means that rate is of 50%). In 2012 the collection and transportation process utilized for solvents was improved, enabling the retrieval of 70% of the used solvent, leading to a 3.32 ton of VOC emission reduction every year. The solvent utilized in the painting guns has also been subject to greater attention. It’s collected and sent to a certified partner that reutilizes it, avoiding its disposal in nature. The solvent hose’s cleaning intervals were extended. That which used to be done every day started to be undertaken on a weekly basis, without affecting the quality of the process. With that measure, 48 liters of solvent have no longer been consumed every month, leading to 0.4896 tons of VOC that are no longer emitted every year in the plant of Sumaré (SP). As for the plant’s Plastic Injection Department, it has promoted a 5,8% reduction in the painting area for its parts, thus reducing the emission of particulate materials. That represents, approximately, 0.39 tons of VOC that are no longer emitted in the atmosphere every year. The goal established by the plant was to reduce VOC emissions by 68 g/m² during 2012. However, with the implemented measures it achieved a 52 g/m² reduction in 2012. Managing the waste resulting from the production processes is a strong concern at Honda, which has strived to implement measures aiming at the reutilization of materials. The waste generated in the car plant’s production process goes through a classification and separation process, in which around 99% are destined to recycling. In 2012, a work was carried out to improve the treatment of sludge at the treatment plant effluent of the Department of Powertrain (Manufacture of engines). This work was developed by the sector associates and resulted in an increase in the efficiency of the filter and the consequent reduction in the amount of liquids that would go to recycling. With this small change, 0.1% of the total volume of sludge generated in the factory was reduced, thereby reducing the environmental impact generated by this source. Another group in the factory has developed a study to reduce the plastic that came in the package of parts of the assembly line. They eliminated the use of this material, without compromising the quality of the pieces. With this elimination, about 93 kg of plastics is no longer used. Also in 2012, another working group developed a supplier for recycling of foundry sand that went to landfill. With this initiative, nearly 680 tons of sand were recycled and used in other processes. The target set for 2012 by the factory of 149 kg of waste generated by automobile produced was achieved.

Honda South America - 2013 Environmental Annual Report 51 Moto Honda da Amazônia - Manaus (AM) Since its foundation, in 1976, Moto Honda da Amazônia, in Manaus (AM), has committed itself to pollution prevention and continuous improvements, as a part of its corporate management cycle. Since 1998, the plant has been certified by ISO Progress in achieving the goals as per produced automobile 14001 and the Green Factory concept started to be implemented in the company in the year 2000. That is, many initiatives throughout the years have been implemented to promote environmental preservation and the optimized use of natural resources. Rational Use of Water Goal for 2012 Results in 2012 Goal for 2013 94.7 kg % achievement of the goal 113% CO2 107.8 kg VOC waste water 68g/m2 149 kg 2.26 m3 52g/m2 149 kg 1.93 m3 135% 100% 121% 50.9g/m2 147 kg 1.90 m3 52 to awaken among its collaborators the awareness that human beings are also a part of the natural environment. In 2012, sensors were installed in the refectorie’s taps, which have already contributed to 70% savings in water consumption, in addition to collaborating with hygiene due to their automatic activation. To optimize consumption, the water utilized in the production processes is also reutilized in some activities. That’s the case of the utilization of the compressor’s condensation water. With that measure, 755 thousand liters have been reutilized in 2012. Water Treatment Station (WTS) Effluent Treatment Stations (ETS) With the implementation of those measures, the plant consumed 0.925 m³ of water per manufactured motorcycle in 2012. The goal for 2013 amounts to 0.916 m³ per motorcycle. Honda South America - 2013 Environmental Annual Report Honda South America Water derived from Honda’s production process is treated and returned into the natural environment. 92.7 kg The water that supplies the plant is subject to special attention. The Water Treatment Station (WTS) treats up to 408 thousand liters per day and starts its process by analyzing the potability of that liquid, derived from artesian wells. After that, doses of chlorine are added according to the analysis undertaken in the previous stage. The water is filtered and then supplies the taps and drinking fountains in the whole plant. The water utilized in the motorcycle and Power Products production process in Manaus (AM) is fully treated in the Effluent Treatment Station (ETS), whose daily capacity amounts to 2.584 thousand liters. After going through biochemical purification processes, the treated effluent is sent to the stabilization pond, when a part of the volume then supplies the irrigation system for the gardens. The remainder is returned into nature, in this case to a local stream called Igarapé do 40, thus preserving the ecosystem. However, in addition to treating it’s also necessary to promote conscious consumption. That’s why the company has strived, since the start of its activities, 53 Energetic Efficiency Moto Honda da Amazônia has been implementing electric power consumption optimization measures throughout the years. In 2012, one of the initiatives to contribute to that goal was the implementation of a new injection cycle management system, the Eco Driver, which was installed in the plastic injectors, reducing emission by 150 tons of CO2 in 2012. That mechanism is able to identify the necessary pressure and flow, and applies that conversion in the engine, making it work at the necessary speed to undertake the movements. A new refrigeration and climatization system adopted by the plant has contributed to energy consumption reduction in 2012. Called Chilled Water Central (centrifugal chiller), the equipment is responsible for keeping an adequate temperature of the plant’s air conditioning and machines. With that measure, 153.89 tons of CO2 have no longer been emitted. Atmospheric Emission Reduction that consumed 110 W. The roofs have been modified, in order to utilize sunlight through translucent tiles, reducing emission equivalent to 8.56 tons of CO2 per year. Presence sensors have been installed to optimize electric power consumption. Those devices are available at the reception, at the leisure area, and in the employee’s access pass way, and have already reduced power consumption by 58% in those places. It has been forecasted that the entire plant shall use that mechanism in 2013. The target for VOC emissions by 1.03 Kg per manufactured motorcycle was set in 2012, however that figure has been reduced to 0.95 Kg. And that contributes to preserve the atmospheric later and the natural environmental. Another initiative of that plant is the online electric power consumption monitoring. With that resource, it’s possible to accurately calculate and locate the consumption levels, contributing to achieve the goals by optimizing power consumption. The plant’s compressed air generation has also been given special attention to improve electric power consumption: two old compressors have been replaced for new and more modern ones, which eliminated the emission of 18.36 tons of CO2 during 2012. Honda keeps an environmental reserve in the city of Rio Preto da Eva (AM), which preserves 674 hectares of native forest and 305 hectares of reforested trees, and especially some species under threat of extinction. The company also has the Particular Natural Heritage Reserve located in Igarapé do Mindú, in Manaus (AM), with 16.4 hectares, which comprises the so-called Urban Ecological Corridor of Mindú. With a total of 995.4 hectares, the environmental reserves could carbon neutralize the equivalent to twice the motorcycle plant’s emissions in 2012, as shown below: 50,801 tons - 20,740 tons = 30,061 tons Annual CO2 absorption capacity in the reserves. Total CO2 emissions at the motorcycle plant of Manaus (AM). Positive balance for the natural environment. Honda South America In addition to that change, the unit promotes a monthly “blackout”, which turns all the lights and equipment deemed not critical off, thus saving electric power consumption during one Sunday. As for the remaining weekends, a group is assigned to check if there isn’t any light or device unnecessarily on. The disposed lamps are also adequately disposed of: they are sent to a specialized and recycling certified company. Other lanterns, with a 23% higher energetic efficiency and with a useful life 140% higher, replace the older ones, saving electric power consumption and reducing emissions by 184.87 tons of CO2 in 2012. That’s possible because the new lamps consume just 54 W, contrarily to the previous ones Electrostatic painting Environmental Reserves Translucent tiles Chilled Water Central The constant effort to promote environmental preservation and to look for new and more sustainable solutions throughout the years has led to measures that aim at minimizing the emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) into the atmosphere. An example of those actions was a painting system for the motorcycle’s body based on powder, which significantly contributes to reduce the emissions of those compounds into the atmosphere. The painting area has also adopted the electrostatic painting system, in which the plastic parts to be painted count on the support of magnetism, which attracts the paint into the material. Therefore, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are no longer emitted, in addition to optimizing their utilization (this method utilizes 90% of the paint, while in the remaining means that rate is of 50%). Those measures have significantly contributed to the plant achieving the CO2 emission reduction goal in 2012. The initial purpose to reduce emissions by 77.03 Kg of CO2 per produced motorcycle was surpassed, leading to just 74.57 Kg of CO2 emitted to make each unit. Environmental Reserve in Rio Preto da Eva (AM) 54 Honda South America - 2013 Environmental Annual Report 55 Waste Management Selective waste collection’s central plant. 56 That change came from a reduction in the diameter of the exhaust hook’s support in some motorcycle models, which went from 13 mm to 9 mm. The slurry derived from the Treatment Station, the physical-chemical slurry, was cut by 37% during production. And that because a new centrifuge was installed in the ETS, optimizing its efficiency and reducing the previously necessary reworking. Cardboard packaging has also been incorporated into the changes promoted in the plant. It has been decided to reutilize that material, which was previously disposed, in order to package motorcycle mirrors.

The result in 2012 amounted to 18.23 kg of waste for each manufactured motorcycle. Honda South America The waste derived from the motorcycle production process goes through a rigid management: they are firstly classified and then segregated before being destined to an adequate disposal. Around 98% of all the generated waste is destined to recycling. The foundry sand, the cast aluminum, and the ABS and polypropylene plastics are fully reutilized in the production process. The thinner used in the painting processes have also started to be reutilized and recycled. In 2012, the work to improve and optimize the use of resources undertaken at that unit was continued. With the purpose of reducing as much as possible the quantity of waste and of developing new ways of using the components generated in the production process, the plant of Manaus (AM) has developed new initiatives. In the foundry area, for example, a change in furnace liners, which were previously made of bricks and now are made of refractory cement, together with the returning of the unutilized parts to the HS1 alloy foundry process – a type of aluminum used in production processes – has contributed to a 8,400 kg reduction in the use of aluminum every month. The production of galvanic slurry has also been reduced: from 16 to eight drums generated every day. Water derived from the productive process, treated in the Effluent Treatment Station of Moto Honda da Amazônia, is sent back to nature. Honda South America - 2013 Environmental Annual Report 57 Honda Motor de Argentina In 1978 Honda Motor de Argentina S.A. was founded. Initially, its activities were based on the distribution and commercialization of automobiles, motorcycles and power products. Production activities started in 2006, with the inauguration of the motorcycle plant in Florêncio Varela, province of Buenos Aires. In 2011, Honda Motor de Argentina opened its car plant in the country, for the manufacturing of automobiles and auto parts for many different models for the local Honda Del Peru market and for exports. The company has dedicated great attention to its production process, striving to reduce the environmental impacts of its activities. Thus, it has been preparing its plants to obtain the ISO 14001 certification. In 2012, an internal committee was established, and an action plan has been developed, in order to fulfill the requirements of the international norm and optimize its production process. Founded in January 1974, Honda started its activities in the city of Trujillo, with the assembly, importation and commercialization of motorcycles and three-wheel vehicles (Honda Motorcycle Taxi). In 1983 the company moved to Iquitos. In 1994 a new production and assembly plant started operations in Lima, and in 2006 Honda Selva Del Peru was founded. Those plants have undertaken many activities focused on environmental responsibility. Those initiatives favor optimization in the use of natural resources, CO 2 emission reductions, and also awareness-building campaigns for its collaborators. Rational use of water Rational use of water A great step to optimize resource consumption is having full knowledge of the quantities utilized in its activities. To better manage the use of the water in the Argentinean plants, a new water consumption measurement system was established in 2012. That device is modern and allows an accurate calculation of consumed volumes, since it is fully electronic. New water consumption measurement system. Energetic efficiency system for the compressors was installed in 2012, which optimizes power consumption and manages it through alarms integrated in the device. The goal for 2012 of 0.4 m³ water consumption per manufactured motor tricycle was setted, the result was 0.2 m³ per manufactured unit. Captured rainwater supply sinks and toilet flushes Energetic efficiency Waste management In 2012, the plant of Campana acquired a new place to accommodate and treat the waste derived from its production activities. The processing space, besides organizing that material, will favor the management of those elements. The plant of Campana decided to sell to a toy manufacturer the wood pallets utilized to transport and store materials. The plastic waste has also started to be recycled, generating bags, buckets, and chairs, among other objects. In addition to that, the transportation of motorcycles has also gone through modifications in Argentinean plants, with the implementation of pallets and returnable metallic CKD. That change has contributed to cut wood consumption by 70% when transporting the motorcycles made in the country. Space for waste management 58 Honda South America The Argentinean units have been looking for solutions to rationalize and reduce electric power consumption during its activities. A new automation Taking advantage of the weather conditions in the region, the plant of Iquitos captures rainwater, which is abundant all through the year, through a drain placed on the roof. A hydraulic system takes the captured water to the restrooms, supplying the toilet flushes and sinks. That modification has significantly contributed to achieve the goal of cutting water consumption in the plant. The initial purpose in 2012 was to reach 0.1 m³ of water per manufactured motor tricycle, however the achieved result was even below the stipulated indicator, amounting to 0.04 m³ per manufactured product. Awareness-building campaigns on the rational consumption of water have also been undertaken at the plant of Callao, disseminating among collaborators information on the importance of preserving that resource. The plants of Iquitos and Callau have adopted transparent tiles in their facilities, which utilize natural light to reduce electric power consumption. The air conditioning’s temperature has also been limited to 24° C, which contributes to cut electric power consumption. With those modifications, the goal of cutting CO2 emissions derived from their activities in 2012 has been surpassed. The goal was to decrease consumption to 18 kg of CO2 per manufactured unit, however, this indicator pointed to 16 kg of CO2 generated per manufactured product in 2012. Translucent tiles in the tricycle plant in Iquitos Honda South America - 2013 Environmental Annual Report 59 Reduction of air emissions Fanalca S.A. The Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions have been controlled by the plants in Peru and new measures are being adopted to reduce as much as possible the generation of those compounds. An example, adopted in the plants of Callao and Iquitos, was a revision of the painting process for the structure of tricycle’s body, thus reducing the paints and solvents consumption, minimizing VOC emissions. With this modification, the plants exceeded the indicator proposed for 2012, of 1 kg of VOC per manufactured tricycle. In Callao, the achieved result recorded 0.36 kg per manufactured tricycle. The plant of Iquitos also surpassed its goal, the result amounted to 0.68 kg per manufactured tricycle in 2012. The activities of the plant of Fanalca, in Colombia, have been certified by ISO 14001 since 2002. In addition to that, it also counts on a team of 38 collaborators that have become environmental leaders in the company. Those collaborator’s purpose is to promote awareness among their Atmospheric emission reduction Motor tricycles chassis painting process Waste management production, a Recycling Center was built in 2012 in the motorcycle plant of Iquitos with 640 m2, where the CKD metal boxes (a set of parts used to assembly vehicles) are recycled and reutilized to package the motorcycles put in the market. The packaging derived from imported products at the Peruvian plants, which correspond to 61% of the total volume of waste, are recycled or donated to the local community. Thus, tons of plastic, metal, paper and wood are no longer consumed. Fanalca has created the Carbon Neutral Program, which aims to achieve environmental balance through a compensation for the effects of the CO 2 emissions generated by the sale of new vehicles. For each marketed vehicle, the corresponding planting of trees is promoted, reducing the effects of the global heating during its life cycle. The planting is undertaken by a specialized entity, with wide experience in the country, with support from the United Nations and the supervising of Ministry of Natural Environment of Colombia. Honda Carbono Neutro CE R TIFIC A D O Waste management Fanalca strives so that as much of its waste as possible is reutilized. In 2012, the identification and mapping of its waste generation was undertaken, with a reduction in the production of those compounds, a change in their conditioning location, and finally the creation of procedures for the handling of those components. In 2012 the result of that action led to a 14% reduction in the production of waste classified as hazardous, and 36% in the production of common waste, compared to 2011. Contaminated plastic materials derived from packaging is collected, pressed and ground, generating the raw material for new plastic pallets, which are now being used in the plant itself. With that initiative, 52 tons of that material have been reutilized. Another already implemented idea was the utilization of the leftovers of the painting powder used in the production process. Almost half a ton per month were no longer disposed in 2012 in order to be reutilized as the basic material for the paint used on grates and gates, and even to paint the plant’s floors. Styrofoam has also started to be reutilized. Before that, a Honda partner was asked every month to collect that material and correctly dispose it. In 2012, that waste started to be reutilized, in the composition of new construction slabs and concrete plates. Honda South America The Peruvian units have promoted many internal awareness-building campaigns on wastage and on adequate waste disposal. In addition to that, they’ve also stimulated the reutilization of components that normally would be disposed. That’s the case of metallic structures, plastics and cardboards, which have since then been reutilized to package the tricycles and motorcycles made in the units. In order to avoid impacts on the natural environment and to reduce the metallic waste teams on the importance of environmental preservation, in addition to stimulating new initiatives that might contribute to that cause. Among its activities is the qualification of other collaborators, environmental projects, ecological strolls and corporate visits.

Transportation | Green Logistic The effort to promote environmental preservation is not just limited to product manufacturing. For Honda, its responsibility goes much beyond that, including the path that raw materials and components cover to arrive at the plant and until the start of the production of automobiles, motorcycles and power products, as well as the distribution of the manufactured products to dealers and distributors all over the country. The car factory in Sumare (SP) has developed several improvements in its process of transporting parts from suppliers to the factory, the Milk Run. In one of these improvements, of the 82 trucks run on diesel S-50 that made up the fleet, 22 trucks were replaced by models powered by biodiesel S-10 (see note). There was Called Green Logistic, that optimized logistic system has counted on Honda’s continuous effort to improve efficiency in its operations, by promoting modal transportation and integration with other partner companies. This work, along with other companies, aims to reduce the consumption of packages, promoting a change in the materials used and giving reference to returnable packages. a total reduction of 13.4% in CO 2 emissions in that transportation activity during the year. In the first half of 2012, 89.6 kg of CO 2 were emitted per manufactured car by the transportation. With those changes, that same calculation pointed to a reduction to 77.6 kg per manufactured car in the following half of the year. Note: The difference between the Diesel S-50 and Biodiesel S-10 is the amount of sulfur present in diesel fuel, from 50 parts per million (S-50) to 10 parts per million (S-10), which reduces the quantity of NOx, SOx, and other particulates SUPPLIER materials when they burn. 1st HALF OF 2012 82 trucks driven by common diesel oil – S50 SUPPLIER FUELS SUPPLIER Honda Automóveis do Brasil - Sumaré (SP) DIESEL DIESEL SUPPLIER FUELS Packaging DIESEL plastic material is composed of biodegradable polymers.

The figures are grandiose, since it involves 28 thousand trips per year if we consider the supplies sent to the plant and the distribution of motorcycles. With the purpose of optimizing the natural resources employed in the logistic operation, we’ve been developing environmental management systems together with our partners, aiming at eliminating packaging and establishing more efficient means of transportation with lower environmental impacts. NPD is an innovative motorcycle transportation system developed by Moto Honda da Amazônia. With that system, the company has been able to reduce the volume of packages and diesel oil consumption. With a focus on environmental respect, Honda has been promoting changes since 1997; it has reduced the utilization of wood packaging, protection oil, and cardboard and metallic boxes in its processes, to establish the current returnable racks employed to transport approximately 92% of the motorcycles destined to supply the Brazilian market from the plant to its dealers. Since then many other changes have been implemented, reducing the consumption of a large number of resources and helping preserve the natural environment. Check it below: 1997 1998 2005 2007 2010 2012 Milk Run was implemented, a logistic system that optimizes trips for the delivery and withdrawal of products and components. The company’s truck fleet has also been modernized. With such measures, there was a 5.3 kg CO 2 emission reduction as per transported motorcycle. Returnable plastic packages were adopted to transport motorcycles, thus reducing waste generation from the previously used disposable components, such as cardboard and plastic. That replacement led to a 0.7 kg reduction in CO 2 emissions for make each manufactured motorcycle. A returnable metallic rack system was implemented, eliminating waste generation from the previously used disposable models. That initiative cut CO 2 emissions by 3.1 kg as per transported motorcycle. The so-called Swimming Warehouse river transportation system was adopted. With that measure, 11.5 kg of CO 2 have no longer been emitted into the atmosphere as per transported motorcycle. A new system employing carts especially adapted to the transportation of motorcycles was implemented, eliminating the use of racks. That modification has led to a 6.5 kg reduction in CO 2 emissions as per transported motorcycle. Currently, 5% of the fleet can already count on that modification.

That modality has enabled us to cut CO 2 emissions by 12.5 kg in average as per transported motorcycle. Currently, that modality comprises 19% of the total number of transported motorcycles, while the remainder is transported via roads and rivers. Honda’s purpose is to have, until the end of 2013, 51% of its motorcycles transported on ships along the Brazilian coastline. In order to service the PADs (advanced distribution stations) located at distances superior to 400 km from the destination ports, where cabotage is not the best means available, Honda has started to employ semi-trailers (a set of one truck tractor and two wagons), thus increasing load capacity by up to 70%.

Administration | Green Office Honda is focused in environmental preservation measures when managing its business, aiming to reduce the impacts of its administrative activities in nature. Administrative Headquarters in São Paulo (SP) Honda South America’s holding is located in Sao Paulo (SP). It gathers the company’s main administrative and commercial departments, and counts on approximately 1200 collaborators. The Administrative Headquarters is located in a modern building that favors the utilization of sunlight, with automated lighting and air conditioning systems. Honda Motor de Argentina The two Honda’s offices in Argentina, in Vicente Lopez and Pacheco, gather approximately 200 collaborators. A measure adopted in the Administrative Headquarters in Vicente Lopes, aiming at saving energy, was the cleaning service’s elimination at night (from 10 PM to 6 AM). The auto parts warehouse in Pacheco cut its electric power consumption by half, with the planning of overtimes, which was revised and limited to a maximum of two hours per day. Administrative Headquarter in Vicente Lopes - Argentina Honda South America’s headquarters – São Paulo (SP) Office in Pacheco – Argentina Fleet of vehicles The company promoted a change from automobiles exclusively powered by gasoline to vehicles using the flex technology. While it was powered by gasoline, the fleet emitted 259 tons of CO 2/year, and with the flex vehicles the emission rate fell to 252 tons of CO 2/year, allowing it to cut emissions by seven tons of CO 2/year. In all the company’s areas there are collectors destined to recycling. In addition to promoting correct waste disposal practices, that action also helps generating income to the recycling cooperatives involved with the process. The space also has a container for the correct disposal of batteries. Selective collection Energy The reception area and the showroom in the administrative headquarters have a part of their lighting provided by Honda solar panels, which generated around 1,300 kWh of electric power in 2012. In addition to that, an automated system turns all the lights of the building off during lunchtime and at the end of the shift. The air conditioning system is also intelligent, only enhancing its functioning when the outside temperature goes up. With those measures 264,707 kWh were saved in 2012. 68 The administrative headquarters of Honda del Peru was founded in 1974 and is located in this country’s capital, Lima. It occupies 3 floors of a building and employs 109 collaborators. In 2012, Honda started to measure more precisely water consumption in the unit. With the installation of a water clock in the restrooms, it was possible to identify the real consumption of water, and to define new goals for reduction of the volume used. Other data that started to be measured was ambient temperature and humidity, optimizing the air conditioning system’s consumption and, consequently, electric power consumption. Another measure implemented was the installation of taps with photocells on the restroom’s sinks. That device limits the water flow time to thirty seconds. Honda also changed the toilet papers used to dry hands, which now provides one sheet at a time, avoiding waste. To stimulate conscious consumption and achieve better results with those initiatives, the unit has promoted awareness-building campaigns before collaborators, through educational posters placed in the restrooms.

These ideals are based on the Honda Philosophy, which stimulates the development of healthy and positive relations between the company’s collaborators and the communities where it operates. That’s a participative and constant process, in which Honda strives to share experiences and convey values to the current and the next generations. Honda Automóveis do Brasil - Sumaré (SP) Environmental suggestions The “cata pilhas” is a place for the collection of batteries for proper disposal of these wastes generated in the company activities. Furthermore, the collaborators are stimulated to bring that material from their homes to promote correct disposal, which is undertaken by a specialized company, thus preserving the natural environment. In an area of high flow of employees, it was installed the Environmental Tips panel.That space was created at the plant of Sumare (SP), in order to stimulate collaborators to give suggestions on improvement and environmental preservation. The site counts on many different educational materials, including posters, folders and newspapers dedicated to ecological campaigns. EcoLogical Newsletter Recicladinho (The Little Recycling Boy) The Ecological Newsletter is a publication distributed to all employees of the factory. It presents the company’s initiatives directed to the natural environment. In the 2012’s issues, the collaborators were informed on tips on the rational use of water, on the conscious consumption of electric power, among other actions promoted by Honda. As of 2013, that publication will be distributed to all Honda’s collaborators in South America, reaching approximately 16,000 collaborators. The Recicladinho Project has reached its second edition with the book “Uma Viagem Pelas Lendas – Curupira” (“A Journey Through Legends – Curupira”). With Honda’s support, it’s distributed to public schools in the cities of Sumaré, Campinas and Hortolândia. With that action, the company aims at stimulating children to learn more on the characters of Brazilian culture and also on environmental preservation. Environmental Week Honda Environmental Prize Held annually and having reached its sixth edition in 2012, the Environmental Week gathers the collaborators from the car plant of Sumaré to deal with the importance of contributing to environment conservation. Under the motto “Preservation is in our nature”, participants have been stimulated to promote the selective collection of solid waste, learning the importance of that activity to the natural environment. Since the seventh edition, performed in 2013, the environmental week has started to be a part of the calendar of actions at all units in South America. Launched in 2008, at the car plant of Sumaré (SP), the Environmental Prize stimulates and rewards the main initiatives proposed by collaborators ad focused on environmental preservation and natural resource use optimization. In 2012, during the 6th Environmental Week, collaborators from the Painting, Machining and Foundry sectors were awarded a prize in the categories Gold, Silver and Bronze, respectively. School Garden Many schools in Manaus take part in the garden project to stimulate their students to be in touch with planting, in addition to teaching on the necessary cares during cultivation. Honda contributes by donating manure to the institutions. Site of the Honda at school project Science Circuit (Inpa) Honda works in partnership with the National Research Institute of the Amazon (INPA), promoting environmental awareness among the students of local public schools. The students are introduced to the elements of local biodiversity, in addition to the history and habits of indigenous communities. Visitors may also know animals from the region and take part in lectures on the importance of environmental preservation. State Environmental Week (IBDN) Students from state public schools took part in the State Environmental Week, promoted by Honda from Manaus and by the Brazilian Nature Defense Institute. During that meeting students were instructed on the importance of environmental preservation and on how to contribute to achieve that. Honda South America 70 Battery collection Moto Honda da Amazônia - Manaus (AM) EcoLife Project Honda has created a program to foster sustainable activities in the lakes of PARÚ and CALADO (Manacapuru – AM), aiming the environmental education of the riparian communities. The riverside communities are visited by the company’s voluntary collaborators who gather on that date to promote many awareness-building activities on the important role played by that community to promote environmental preservation, and among those activities that was the 13ª GICA – Gincana Ambiental (Environmental Gymkhana), which had the participation of 800 people. As an incentive to the project, Honda sponsored the event, held by the tv program Isto é Manaus (TV Rio Nergo/BAND station) and had donate 3 stationary engines, as well as educational kits and t-shirts for teams uniforms.

Visitors were able to check their glycemic levels, receive instructions on how to cultivate home gardens, in addition to being oriented in relation to the importance of correct waste disposal, such as tires and batteries, by getting to know the reverse logic of those products. For the children special playful and recreational activities were also prepared. For those who visited the event, 4 thousand coconuts were distributed, produced by Honda’s agricultural project located 48 km Ecological Awareness Program, Corazón Solidário away from Manaus. Focused on providing services to that audience, 40 volunteers from many different areas were available, on behalf of solidarity. Participants of the Global Action Administrative Headquarters - Sao Paulo (SP) Recycling of long life packages In the 2012 Environmental Week, the Administrative Headquarter’s collaborators were mobilized to donate long life packages. The collection of more Honda has worked in partnership with the Children’s Hospital Prof. Dr. Juan P. Garrahan since 2009, promoting solidarity and ecological campaigns to help 300 children under treatment every day in that institution, and 12,800 children that need ambulatory treatment and contributing with the hospital’s structure maintenance. Counting on the participation of all Honda’s collaborators, plastic papers and lids are collected through many different actions, which funds are used in the treatment of young patients. In 2012, 6,552 kg of paper were collected, representing 111 trees that were no longer pruned for its manufacturing. In addition to that, 209,600 plastic lids were collected, cutting CO 2 emissions by 943,20 kg. Awareness on the use of paper Held by all the units of Honda Motor da Argentina, it’s a campaign to promote the conscious use of paper. Under the motto “Reducing, Reusing, Recycling: creating change awareness,” that action installed collectors so that papers can be correctly discarded. A Selective Collection Station was also created to facilitate calculating waste collection. than one thousand packages was destined to an NGO, which reutilizes them to make shelters for abandoned animals/pets. Winter Meeting – Catedral Hill Meeting Point Oil collection for recycling Honda’s logistic unit in Anhanguera (SP) installed a domestic oil collection station in the building where it’s located. With that action, associates from Honda and other neighboring companies can correctly discard their kitchen oil. The 125 liters collected every month are reutilized to make biodiesel, avoiding that 80 thousand liters of water are contaminated per day, and that 275 kg of CO 2 are emitted into the atmosphere monthly. That initiative was created and implemented by that unit’s associates. Sowing awareness Honda’s associates collect domestic oil 72 Held in Catedral Hill, in Bariloche, that action promoted many activities for the visitors. In addition to exhibiting Honda’s new City and Honda Fit 2013 models, Honda promoted an environmental initiative during the Winter Meeting. Those who visited the company’s space took part in the action “One Tree with Your Name,” in the which a seedling was planted in a vase bearing the each person’s name and, after that, the 600 trees involved with that campaign will be replanted in deforestation areas, contributing to reduce and absorb greenhouse gases, besides contributing to biodiversity. Honda South America Logistic Unit - Anhanguera (SP) Based on the global campaign “Blue Skies for Our Children,” Honda Argentina promoted in 2011 and 2012 an activity called Sowing Awareness. That action involved children, by stimulating the planting of seeds and the importance of the elements of nature (Sun, water, air and earth). Held during Expoagro 2012, that initiative led to the planting of 1000 trees. As for ExpoGranadera 2012, those figures were even higher, reaching 2,265 plants. During the celebration of the World Environment Day, that action was also implemented, and 600 new trees were planted, as well as during Honda’s “Winter Meeting,” which included the planting of 600 new tree seedlings. A total of 4,465 trees were planted in 2012.
