The joy of buying is achieved through providing products and services that exceed the needs and expectations of each customer.

The joy of creating occurs when Honda associates and suppliers involved in the design, development, engineering, and manufacturing of Honda products recognize a sense of joy in our customers and dealers.

Honda Human Rights Policy

Since Honda Motor was founded in 1948, Honda has continuously worked to provide value to help people and create a better society through our technologies, ideas, and designs. The starting points out such efforts is our desire to "help people and society" and "expand the potential of people's lives". The underlying basis of these efforts is the concept of "Respect for the Individual," which constitutes Honda's Fundamental Beliefs. Honda believes that human beings are born as free and unique individuals with the capacity to think, reason, and create - and the ability to dream.

Our wish is to nurture and promote these characteristics in Honda by respecting individual differences, trusting each other as equal partners, exercising abilities to the fullest, and sharing joy. From this standpoint, we adopt Respect for the Individual, consisting of the three elements of initiative, equality, and trust, as one of our Fundamental Beliefs. We believe this spirit should permeate all our relationships with everyone.

Based on the concept of Respect for the Individual, Honda has formulated the Honda Human Rights Policy ("the Policy") to fulfill our responsibility to respect the human rights of stakeholders who may be affected by our business activities. By putting the Policy into practice, we will cooperate with our stakeholders to undertake business activities in a sustainable manner to continue to be "a company that society wants to exist."

Honda Conduct Guidelines – Honda Code of Conduct

Guided by the fundamental beliefs of “Respect for the Individual” and “The Three Joys” (“The Joy of Buying,” “The Joy of Selling,” and “The Joy of Creating”), Honda endeavors to share joy with people around the world and aspires to be “a company society wants to exist.” A prerequisite to fulfilling this philosophy is to act with integrity to customers and society at all times. Failure in our duty to maintain sincerity would result in loss of the confidence and trust we have established over the years; a precious asset that would be extremely difficult to recover.

For this reason, in 2003 we announced and subsequently implemented the Honda Conduct Guidelines. During this time, Honda has expanded its business throughout the globe, and I feel that expectations from stakeholders, including customers, have grown greater as well. This also reflects the increasing importance for each of us to act responsibly, as expected by customers and society. In view of these trends, we have revised the Honda Conduct Guidelines as the “Honda Code of Conduct” covering acts of integrity for Honda associates around the world. Our founder Soichiro Honda once said, “What you make reflects you”. I also believe that a sincere attitude toward customers on the part of each individual Honda associate is what creates excellent products and services.

The continuous growth of Honda depends on the appropriate conduct of each Honda associate toward customers and society. Under the guidance of the Honda Philosophy and as a company empowered by its aspiration to realize people’s dreams, Honda has thus far been able to establish trust with its customers and society by engaging in global business operations and sharing joy with people around the world. As a result of our global deployment, Honda now has associates in numerous countries and regions around the world. Considered conduct grounded on the Honda Philosophy on the part of each individual associate is essential for Honda in reinforcing the trust established with our customers and society.

By sincere, we mean free from deceit (dishonesty) and hypocrisy (two-facedness) and being earnest. Recently, we have established the Honda Code of Conduct as a sincere action that we would like all persons working at Honda around the world to follow. To reinforce the trust of customers and society and make Honda “a company society wants to exist,” all associates including officers and directors of Honda and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as “associates”) (where HM and its subsidiaries are collectively called as the “Honda Group”) should fully understand and comply with the Honda Code of Conduct, and practice sincere and ethical conduct that conforms to the Code. Acts in violation of the Code may be subject to discipline under company policies and applicable laws and regulations.

Business Ethic Proposal Line (BEPL)

Honda is committed to following fair business practices to safeguard the stakeholder's interest. These stakeholders are our shareholders, customers, suppliers, dealers, associates and the community. Stakeholder interest can be sustained if company runs business with transparency, fairly, efficiently and according to the Honda's Code of Conduct and Ethics Guidelines. Large companies need to implement internal control systems, in order to ensure the same, in response to both stakeholders and society's interest, at large.

Honda's stated vision & goal is to become a company that society wants to exist. Therefore, it is important to establish a system & organization to guarantee fairness of the company's operations and to meet the expectations of the stakeholders and society, so as to enhance and protect the credibility and image of Honda. Consequently, Honda Corporate Governance (HCG) has been established to ensure the implementation of corporate management systems. HCG emphasizes the accountability of every Honda associate in establishing the standards of HCG through their daily operations.
