The Honda Racing F1 Team today announced that it has achieved ISO14001 certification for its UK headquarters at Brackley, Northamptonshire. It is the first time that the ISO14001 accreditation has been granted specifically to a Formula One team and as an integral part of its earthdreams programme, it demonstrates the team's commitment to taking specific action on environmental issues.
ISO14001 is the international specification for an environmental management system (EMS). Accreditation to ISO14001 proves the Honda Racing F1 Team's systems conform to the internationally comparable audit standard, and that the team has effectively implemented its environmental management system.
Work towards ISO14001 began in 2005 with management training initiatives on environmental issues. The team is now working on specific targets to reduce its CO2 emissions and will report progress on its website HondaRacingF1.com.
The team's commitment to environmental issues is now embodied in earthdreams, a global network of projects that are committed to generating a positive impact. earthdreams currently supports eight environmental projects addressing mobility, technology, sustainability and learning. The number of projects will continue to rise as the team's environmental council thoroughly evaluates the many worthy applicants that wish to be associated with the earthdreams initiative.
Parent company Honda has a strong track record of leading the way in reducing global CO2 emissions. The 1972 Honda Civic was the first car to pass California's Clean Air Act and the 2008 Honda FCX Clarity is the world's first mass-produced zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell car. Today, 85% of every Honda car is recyclable.
