Zero environmental impact by 2050
Since its founding, Honda has been driven by a desire to help people and society. Across Europe, this continues to shape our approach to sustainability: reducing environmental impact, improving safety, supporting our associates and contributing positively to the communities in which we operate.
Guided by Honda’s aim to be “a company society wants to exist”, Honda Motor Europe is working to strengthen transparency, understand its impacts, risks and opportunities, and support the transition towards a more sustainable future.
What Honda Europe is doing today
Through our products, projects and partnerships, Honda Motor Europe is working to reduce environmental impact across its operations and value chain.
Across the region, practical initiatives are helping to support progress in areas such as carbon reduction, resource efficiency, lower-impact logistics and responsible use of energy and materials.
Here are four examples of the actions being taken in Europe.
- e:PROGRESS intelligent vehicle charging
- Honda Fastport
- Energy Management System
- On-site green energy production
Advanced intelligent charging using 100% renewable energy
e:PROGRESS harnesses industry partnerships and AI to provide intelligent charging for Honda e owners in the UK. Available on any tariff, smart scheduling makes responsible use of the energy infrastructure, to charge your car based on when you use it, how much charge you need and when energy is at its cheapest.
Honda Fastport
Honda Fastport supports the development of more efficient and lower tail pipe emission last-mile delivery compared to conventional delivery vehicles in European cities. The first product, the Fastport eQuad, is an electric-assist micromobility vehicle designed for urban logistics, helping businesses move goods through congested areas using a smaller alternative to conventional delivery vans.
Developed with features such as swappable Honda Mobile Power Pack batteries, regenerative braking and connected fleet services, the eQuad reflects Honda’s wider approach to creating practical mobility solutions that respond to changing customer, business and city needs across Europe.
Energy Management System
Honda is working towards its long-term ambition to achieve carbon neutrality across all products and corporate activities by 2050. Honda Italia Industriale is working towards this ambition through a series of energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives at its production site.
These include the installation of an energy management system that monitors electricity, gas, water and compressed air consumption across the facility, helping teams analyse performance data and identify opportunities to reduce energy use.
The site has also installed more than 80 power meters and two photovoltaic systems, with a combined nominal capacity of 1,800 kWp, supporting annual renewable electricity generation of around 2 million kWh. Alongside the use of electricity from certified renewable sources, these initiatives are helping Honda Italia Industriale reduce energy-related emissions and support progress towards its carbon neutrality roadmap.
Clean, green energy for Honda’s logistics operations
Honda’s logistics facility in Gent, Belgium installed a 200m tall wind turbine to generate clean, green energy on-site that will, at a minimum, meet 70% of the facility’s power needs. It is a significant step to ensure that Honda meets immediate and future sustainability targets.
Honda European Sustainability Report 2025
Honda’s commitment to environmental responsibility is guided by its long-standing aim to leave “blue skies for our children” and its global long-term ambition to achieve carbon neutrality across all products and corporate activities by 2050.
Honda Motor Europe’s 2025 European Sustainability Report reflects the next step in how we communicate this progress. Replacing the annual European Environmental Report, the new report expands the scope of disclosure beyond environmental performance to include social, governance and corporate social responsibility activities across the European region.
Covering the fiscal year from April 2024 to March 2025, the report highlights actions being taken across Honda’s European operations and value chain, including production, logistics, sales, electrification, staff welfare, community initiatives and safety.
It also introduces Honda Motor Europe’s first ESRS-aligned Double Materiality Assessment, strengthening understanding of the impacts, risks and opportunities most relevant to the business and its stakeholders.
