Sustainability is an important principle at all our stores, and we encourage each to participate in its respective manufacturer’s sustainable business programs. We’re pleased to announce that pending our recently acquired Hill Country Honda store in San Antonio, Texas, all 45 of our Honda and Acura dealerships are enrolled in the Honda Environmental Leadership Award “Green Dealer” Program. We’re excited to share that several Honda/Acura stores have earned recognition for their measurable efforts in reducing their environmental footprint.
DCH Honda of Oxnard Receives Green Dealer Award
DCH Honda of Oxnard (California) was one of a select number of dealerships who won the 2023 Environmental Leadership Award. This official manufacturer award recognizes a dealer’s achievements in meeting the 2023 energy thresholds as outlined by the company.
“Just like our dedication to customer satisfaction, we're excited to go above and beyond for the environment. By consuming less power from our electric utility, we help reduce some of the emissions created through production, generation, and transmission.”

Congratulations, DCH Honda of Oxnard!
Several Stores Earn Green Dealer Badges
In addition to the Oxnard store’s big win, eight of our Honda/Acura stores received Green Dealer Badges in one of three categories: energy, water, or site.
The badges are designed to encourage dealers to focus on their energy use, which is a core requirement of the Green Dealer Program, but also to implement water, site, and other sustainability practices at dealerships.

The Energy Badge is designed to recognize dealers/distributors for taking steps to reduce their energy use.
The Water Badge is designed to recognize dealers/distributors for monitoring their water use and improving their water efficiency in at least one high-water consumption area.
Several site measures can be implemented to reduce the dealership/distributor’s energy, water, and carbon footprint while saving money on utility bills.
Dealers/distributors must implement at least four site-related measures in order to achieve the Site Badge.
