Meanwhile, Step 2 activities include contribution to local community through CSR projects, energy and environmental conservation, chemical use and control, improved waste management system, improved recycling program and complete safety and personnel protective equipment. This program is in line with the Global Honda Environmental Initiatives towards helping in the preservation, conservation, and protection of the environment.
