Honda Beach Clean-up Activity Conducted by the Honda Group Throughout Japan
In 2006, we launched the Honda Beach Clean-up Activity, which was based on our desire to ensure that the next generation will be able to experience the joy of walking barefoot on sandy beaches. The activity utilizes the Beach Cleaner, which can clean the beach without damaging the beach ecosystem. We originally developed the cleaner based on our desire to use Honda’s technologies to clean the trash that ends up washed ashore.
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, we conducted the activity at 30 locations throughout Japan (28 prefectures) and collected approximately 25 tons of trash.
We also cooperated with a reconstruction support event at Mitsuke Beach in Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, which suffered tsunami damage in the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake.
Originally initiated by our associates and former associates, the activity has now expanded its circle of cooperation to include the entire Honda Group and local residents across the country, with more than 7,000 participants per year. To date, the activity has been conducted 484 times, and the total amount of trash collected has reached approximately 592 tons.

Activities to Conserve Satoyama Landscapes in Kamikawa no Sato, Hachioji City
In addition to its ongoing forest conservation activities since 1999, Honda concluded an activity agreement with Hachioji City in 2020 to conduct Satoyama landscape conservation activities in the Kamikawa no Sato Special Green Space Conservation District.
Associates and their families engage in conservation activities such as rice cultivation, field cultivation, forest clearing, and tree planting to preserve Satochi-Satoyama landscapes, where people and nature coexist and diverse wildlife thrives, for future generations.
We also hold environmental education classes for children, who will be responsible for the next generation. We promote activities that deepen their understanding of the natural environment and wildlife, thereby helping to conserve biodiversity.
In 2025, a total of approximately 400 people participated in nine events during the year.
Furthermore, wildlife surveys conducted in the activity areas confirmed the presence of 15 species of rare butterflies and eight species of dragonflies listed in the Red Data Book of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
We are also continuing activities that contribute to the local community, such as donating the harvested rice and vegetables to food banks in Hachioji City.

Environmental Month in Argentina
In Argentina, we held an environmental education and road safety day for children and their families. The event brought together 120 participants, including children, teachers, family members, local authorities, and Honda representatives. Participants learned about environmental conservation and road safety and planted fruit trees at the Campana Child Development Center.
The goal of this activity is to promote awareness of the importance of environmental preservation through interaction with nature and to encourage sustainable practices from early childhood. Additionally, by bringing together people from various backgrounds in the community to work together, the event provided an opportunity to foster compassion, solidarity, and a sense of contribution to the local community. The seeds of awareness and actions that will support the future are taking root alongside the trees planted by the participants.
