HMSI Marks Environment Week 2025 with Nationwide Sustainability Initiatives

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) observed Environment Week 2025 with a series of environmental activities conducted across its dealerships and manufacturing units nationwide, starting from World Environment Day on 5 June. The week-long initiative concluded with a gathering at Hindon Honda in Ghaziabad, attended by HMSI’s senior leadership, including Sheshank Razdan, General Manager, Regional Business Central, and Ravikumar Annasaheb Firagannavar, General Manager, Regional Business Central-Customer Service.

Aligned with this year’s World Environment Day theme, “Beat Plastic Pollution,” HMSI carried out activities such as sapling distribution to dealership visitors, awareness drives about plastic pollution, and tree plantation efforts across various towns and cities, involving over 1.25 lakh saplings. Free Pollution Under Control (PUC) check-up camps were also organised to promote cleaner vehicle usage.

In its 25th year of operations in India, HMSI recently surpassed 70 million units of cumulative production since beginning local manufacturing in 2001. This contributes to Honda’s global milestone of 500 million two-wheelers produced since 1949. HMSI continues to follow Honda’s global environmental vision, focusing on carbon neutrality, clean energy, and resource circulation through the Triple Action to ZERO initiative.

The Environment Week campaign also included employee participation through plantation drives and awareness sessions aimed at incorporating sustainable practices within the workplace and local communities.

At the operational level, HMSI is expanding its use of renewable energy. Its Narsapura plant in Karnataka currently meets 98% of its energy needs through renewable sources, while efforts are underway to increase renewable energy usage across all facilities. In terms of water management, all four HMSI factories operate as Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) units, with rainwater harvesting systems in place. The Narsapura plant reportedly fulfils most of its water requirements through rainwater alone.
