Clean Energy Initiatives

In promoting clean energy initiatives, Honda has set “addressing energy issues” as a materiality. The Company is actively working to reduce the amount of CO₂ emissions and environmental impact through its corporate activities and initiatives in product areas, by improving production efficiency, introducing energy-saving measures, switching to low-carbon energy, and promoting the use of renewable energy.

Honda plans to realize its first carbon-neutral plant in FY2026 at the Saitama Factory’s assembly plant to achieve the 2050 carbon neutrality target and is studying and promoting the introduction of equipment to maximize the use of renewable energy.

In deploying the technology built at the plant globally, the Company has built a mechanism for promoting information sharing among business sites and regions while at the same time enhancing technical support from Japan.

Honda is also actively promoting the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power generation on a global basis

Honda preferentially adopts a method that can directly contribute to the reduction of CO₂ emissions in local communities.

More specifically, the Company focuses on installing new power generation facilities, first examining the installation within its premises, and then gradually expanding the scope to outside the premises for greater use of the facilities.

Going forward, to further facilitate and expand the use of renewable energy, the Company is promoting the introduction of lithium-ion storage batteries and will continue to use renewable energy matched to the conditions of each region on a global basis
