Environmental protection is always the top priority before production

The spotless production workshop, the noise is kept to a minimum, and the smell of production car exhaust can hardly be smelled... This is the deep impression that the reporter got during the interview in Guangzhou Honda a few days ago, and all this is due to the company's insistence on energy conservation and environmental protection.

Yao Yiming, Executive Deputy General Manager of Guangben told reporters that Guangben is always aware of global environmental issues and is committed to the harmonious development of production and operation and the environment. At the beginning of the establishment of the factory, no products have been put on the market. Guangben invested a lot of money in the construction of automobile exhaust gas treatment stations in the Huangpu factory. The second Guangben plant-Zengcheng plant was completed on September 19, 2006. During the design and construction of the plant, environmental protection issues were fully considered. The goal of "zero waste water discharge" was established at the beginning of the design and introduced The most advanced environmental technology.

In the Guangben Zengcheng factory, advanced environmental protection measures are everywhere. The exhaust gas of domestic automobiles and industrial wastewater are 100% recycled and reused, and it is the first to achieve "zero waste water discharge" in the automobile industry in the country. Under the premise that the water circulation system produces 120,000 vehicles, the "Zero Wastewater Discharge" project saves 171,000 tons of tap water per year, which is equivalent to the annual water consumption of 1,600 households.

The assembly workshop and the vehicle inspection line introduce a follow-up automobile exhaust extraction system to directly collect automobile exhaust, and the exhaust collection rate reaches more than 90%. The welding workshop introduces advanced fume exhaust and dust removal devices to collect and filter welding fume and dust, ensuring the overall good air quality inside and outside the workshop.

Energy conservation and environmental protection require a large amount of capital investment as a guarantee. How to correctly handle the relationship between short-term and long-term benefits, corporate benefits and social benefits, is a realistic problem that companies need to make decisions. In order to do a good job of energy conservation and environmental protection, Guangben is not hesitating to cost, even doing "loss business". The investment in the automobile exhaust treatment station of the Zengcheng plant alone exceeded 30 million yuan, and the annual operating cost reached more than 1 million yuan. At present, the cost of automobile exhaust treatment is higher than the benefits of water saving. The investment and operating expenses of automobile exhaust treatment stations, when converted to the cost of a single product, will increase the cost by 60-80 yuan.

Yao Yiming, Executive Deputy General Manager of Guangzhou Honda, believes: "In the long run, the investment in environmental protection and energy saving can be recovered. Even if it is difficult to see economic benefits in the short term, the resulting social and environmental benefits cannot be measured with money. "

In fact, Guangben has already tasted the good market effect brought about by focusing on environmental protection. Due to the early introduction of Honda's advanced technology, all models of the company have achieved excellent fuel economy and emissions have reached the National IV level. In a market where fuel prices are rising and the auto market is sluggish, Guangben has always been favored by customers. For example, the 1.3-liter new-generation Fit consumes only 4.9 liters per 100 kilometers at a constant speed of 90 km/h.

The system deepens the concept of environmental protection into every detail

The reporters who visited and interviewed in Guangben were all moved by a small detail. In the corner of the No. 2 Welding Workshop of the Guangben Zengcheng Factory, a plastic bucket that collects waste water is placed under the air-conditioning drain pipe. According to reports, it is this small plastic bucket that realizes the recycling of air-conditioning water, which not only eliminates the safety hazards caused by air-conditioning water flowing everywhere, but also saves 1,476 cubic meters of water every year.

And such details abound in Guangben: In Guangben, the purchase of equipment is not based on the one-time purchase cost, but the calculation of the comprehensive cost. High efficiency and low energy consumption are important criteria for the trade-off; energy-saving design is adopted everywhere in the factory building. Even the lighting in the workshops is fully used for natural lighting; actively promote green procurement and green special stores, so that the entire industry chain can achieve energy saving... From raw material procurement to product production lines, and then to special dealers, Guangben has deepened the concept of environmental protection into every one Details, realize the concept of environmental protection in the whole process.

A good development concept must be guaranteed by a good system. In Guangben, energy conservation and environmental protection are regarded as equally important as safe production. To achieve the goal of energy conservation and environmental protection in the whole process, we benefit from a scientific and complete management system. Guangzhou Honda has given sufficient guarantees from the company’s organizational structure. It has established an Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Management Committee and an Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Affairs Bureau as the promotion agency for energy conservation and emission reduction work, with the company's top leaders personally taking the lead. At the same time, the Environmental Protection Affairs Bureau and the Energy Conservation Bureau were newly established last year, and the scope of work promoted covers the industry chain from within the enterprise (including products, factories, and enterprises) to suppliers and special sales stores.

Guangzhou Honda has set high work targets for energy conservation and emission reduction. The Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Affairs Bureau has formulated a general idea for the promotion of energy conservation and emission reduction, and has set a clear schedule and assessment methods for the development of this work. The Energy Conservation Management Committee and each department signed the "Energy Conservation Target Responsibility Letter", which indicated the energy conservation targets of each department. The achievement of energy saving targets of various departments will be used as the scoring items for the annual selection of the company's advanced collectives and the labor competition winning collectives.

Environmental protection for all employees has become the biggest source of power for the green revolution
When interviewing in Guangzhou Honda, the reporter experienced firsthand that environmental protection and energy saving are not only a production concept, but also a conscious work style and lifestyle of employees, which is integrated into the factory to form an environmental protection culture.

To carry out energy conservation work, the key to energy conservation and consumption reduction awareness. Yao Yiming told reporters: "Energy saving and emission reduction is not a campaign, but a long-term, silent awareness training process. When all employees convert energy conservation and emission reduction into daily behaviors, this company can truly do it. To be in harmony with the environment and in harmony with the society."

For this reason, Guangben holds several energy-saving and consumption-reduction report meetings every year to raise employees' awareness of energy-saving and consumption reduction through the publicity of typical cases, and encourage employees to start small and start to save costs. For example, Du Sunchoo, an employee of the Synthetic Resin Division, proposed the "Energy-saving Transformation of Bumper Coating Exhaust Fans". By installing a frequency converter for the fan, the system's power saving rate reached 30%, which can save 425088 kWh a year.

According to statistics, in 2007 alone, Guangzhou Honda received 33,961 proposals, the adoption rate was as high as 65%, saving the company 5.8 million yuan. At present, in Guangzhou Honda, the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and energy conservation has become a common practice for everyone, which has also enabled the company to obtain the greatest source green revolution of .
