Tokyo, November 16 (Reuters)-According to a report from the Nikkei on Tuesday, Honda Motor (7267.T) has asked its major component suppliers to reduce carbon emissions by 4% annually from 2019 levels.

According to the report, the Japanese automaker's goal is to implement these goals in fiscal year 2025, which will begin in April 2025.

Honda's move came after another Japanese automaker Toyota (7203.T) said in June that it had asked its component suppliers to reduce carbon emissions. read more

A Honda spokesperson said the company is working hard to achieve carbon neutrality, including working with suppliers and asking them to reduce carbon emissions.

However, the spokesperson declined to say whether Honda has requested a 4% reduction in annual carbon emissions from the Nikkei News reported in 2019, adding that this is not information released by the company.
