Project Stage
The Honda Green Future Project is dedicated to preserving native vegetation and mitigating both deforestation and forest degradation. A key initiative under this project involves quantifying above-ground tree carbon stocks, a critical component in addressing climate change. The project prioritizes the measurement of carbon credits by assessing the forest's total carbon stock and factoring in a conservative deduction to account for deforestation risk. Spanning 655.96 hectares of native forest within the Amazon Biome, the initiative is closely aligned with Sustainable Development Goals—specifically SDGs 6, 13, and 15. Its objectives encompass the protection and restoration of water-related ecosystems such as mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers, and lakes; the promotion of sustainable management practices across all forest types; the cessation of deforestation activities; rehabilitation of degraded forests; and a substantial increase in afforestation initiatives. Through this initiative, the project ensured the protection of forest vegetation, biodiversity, watercourses, and springs through 2024, while maintaining an estimated stock of approximately 458,268.81 tons of CO2 equivalent (CO2e) during this period. The project is designed with an initial duration of five years, subject to renewal, potentially extending protection efforts for up to twenty years.
