Review of Affiliated Organizations
Approach to the Review
We reviewed the alignment between the stances of the organizations Honda is affiliated with and its stance regarding climate change policies. The review items and criteria are as follows:
Support for the Paris Agreement and carbon neutrality
Recognition of the need to expand the adoption of renewable energy
In selecting affiliated organizations for review, the following factors were taken into consideration.
Whether the organization has publicly stated its stance on climate change policies
Whether the organization operates in Honda’s key markets
Whether Honda’s executive-level members participate in the organization
Based on the above criteria, we selected the following seven organizations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026.
| Selected Organization |
|---|
| Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. (JAMA) |
| European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) |
| The European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers (ACEM) |
| Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) |
| Associação Nacional dos Fabricantes de Veículos Automotores (ANFAVEA) |
| Associação Brasileira de Fabricantes de Motocicletas, Ciclomotores, Motonetas, Bicicletas e Similares (ABRACICLO) |
| World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) |
The scope of review and the review results will be reviewed annually. If any affiliated organization is found not to be aligned with the stance of Honda, including support for the Paris Agreement, we will continue to encourage them to reconsider their stance through dialogue and other means.
