Honda Environmental Leadership Award

Weir Canyon Honda Earns Honda Environmental Leadership Award for Improving the Environmental Performance of Its Operations

“Green Dealer” Program Promotes Quantifiable Reductions in Energy Use, Conservation of Water, Recycling, and Other Environmental Best Practices

Anaheim, CA, March 29, 2021 – Weir Canyon Honda has earned the respected Honda Environmental Leadership Award, which recognizes Honda dealerships for measurably reducing energy and water use while enhancing their environmentally responsible
business operations.
Weir Canyon Honda earned the Honda Environmental Leadership Award by implementing numerous environmental best practices.
“Weir Canyon Honda’s commitment to preserving the environment is an extension of
our support for the community, our employees, and our customers,” said Mike Russell, GM. “Beyond the benefits of owning a fuel-efficient Honda vehicle, we hope our customers have the added peace of mind knowing that they’re supporting a local Honda
dealership that is dedicated to reducing its environmental impact and energy use.”
Weir Canyon Honda earned the Silver Award for achieving environmental targets based on a verified reduction in energy use and a rigorous point system developed specifically for dealerships that incorporates environmental improvement measures.
Honda partners with third-party licensed professional engineers to evaluate dealerships’ environmental performance and recommend additional strategies for reducing their environmental impact.
Honda introduced its voluntary “Green Dealer” program to its U.S. automobile dealers in
fall 2011, and later extended the program to its independently owned powersports and power
equipment dealers.
“Since the program’s launch, our Honda dealers have collectively reduced CO 2
emissions by more than 133,000 metric tons – equivalent to eliminating the CO 2 emissions from
over 22,000 homes’ electricity use for a year – and saved more than $26 million in energy
costs,” said Annika Swenson, Honda Environmental Leadership Program Manager. “We’re
proud that so many of our dealers are joining Honda in taking these important actions to reduce
our environmental footprint.”

For over three decades, Honda has been working to reduce the environmental impact of
its products, manufacturing and logistics operations, and facilities in North America. These
initiatives are reported annually in the Honda North American Environmental Report . Expanding
its environmental initiatives to the Honda dealer network was a logical step in the company’s
effort to reduce waste, energy use, and CO 2 emissions across the full spectrum of its operations
and throughout the lifecycle of Honda products, including at the point of sale.
