Honda aims for 30 percent carbon-emissions cut

Honda Motor Co. says it aims to reduce carbon emissions from its products globally by 30 percent from 2000 levels by the end of this decade.

The new carbon-reduction goal is outlined in Honda's 2011 annual environmental report.

In 2006, Honda set a goal to reduce carbon levels by 10 percent from 2000 by the end of the decade, which it achieved.

Honda's new environmental slogan is "Blue Skies for Our Children," which it will attach to green activities globally.
