Third-Party Evaluations

Activities in the Fiscal Year Ending on March 31, 2025

Honda became the first company in the automotive industry to receive the highest ranking of “3 stars,” as part of the FIA^*1 Road Safety Index, set forth by the FIA to enable businesses and organizations to measure their road safety footprint.

The FIA Road Safety (RS) Index is a new tool designed to enable companies and organizations to visualize and measure the impact of their operations on road safety and achieve more sustainable road traffic. The Index provides comprehensive assessment and evaluation of the safety footprint of each company/organization based on various factors such as their road safety goals, commitment, and the number of traffic collision fatalities and injuries across their entire value chain.

The FIA RS Index system contains two ratings: 1) the “supply chain rating,” which covers a broad range of corporate activities from procurement of raw materials to development and production of products, and customer delivery of the products, and 2) the “product/service rating,” which evaluates the safety aspects of products/services. Honda became the first company in the automotive industry to undergo audits for both ratings and received the highest rating, 3 stars^*2, in both ratings.

Honda is striving to reduce the number of traffic collision fatalities involving Honda motorcycles and automobiles worldwide by 50% by 2030, then to achieve zero traffic collision fatalities by 2050. Becoming the first automaker to receive 3 stars as part of the FIA RS Index represents Honda’s strong commitment to the pursuit of road safety. The safety initiatives Honda has been conducting based on its long-term safety strategy were highly evaluated, as well as the fact that Honda has been tracking the number of traffic collision fatalities and serious injuries across its value chain, by age and by type of road user, as its road safety footprint.

Honda will continue to actively participate in safety initiatives promoted by such international organizations and contribute to solving the issues of the mobility society.
