“Green” Dealers Making a Difference

The Honda Environmental Leadership Award and Acura Environmental Leadership Award are presented to our automobile dealers who have voluntarily reduced their energy use by 10% or more, developed water-conservation measures and implemented a recycling program.

The program offers three achievement levels: Silver, Gold, and Platinum.

• Silver-level dealers must achieve a 10% reduction in total energy use, develop a water-use-reduction plan and implement a comprehensive recycling program.

• Gold-level dealers must achieve continual improvement in their reduction and conservation goals above and beyond the Silver level.

• The top-level Platinum award is reserved for dealers whose facilities earn LEED certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.

The required 10% energy reduction is in line with the U.S. EPA’s Energy Star Award/National Automobile Dealers Association program.

Dealers have taken a number of steps to reduce their environmental impact, including replacing their lighting with low-energy lamps, installing     motion sensors that turn lights off when not in use, replacing older air-conditioning and heating systems with newer, more energy-efficient equipment, installing solar panels, adding rainwater-collection systems and planting native vegetation to reduce irrigation water use.
