In 2022, we partnered with a national UK newspaper to create the Telegraph Honda Rugby Legacy Fund, a programme of grassroots investment in 15 teams designed to inspire the next generation of female rugby players. This allowed the clubs to invest in their women’s rugby programmes and access places at a specialist girls’ rugby training camp.

We believe that an inclusive workplace where people are treated equally is fundamental to creating an environment that empowers our associates and enables them to be themselves. This is also key to the future success of the company.

That is why we embrace diversity and inclusion and are committed to bringing together people from different cultures, backgrounds, races and beliefs. We respect individual differences and promote equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of their race, gender, gender identity, age, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, educational background, past career, and social or economic status.

Contributing to the safety, good health and well-being of people is a key part of our social responsibility. This includes supporting local communities when disasters affect their lives, homes, and fundamental infrastructure.

In response to heavy flooding in Germany’s Ahr Valley in August 2021, Honda provided instant support to disaster recovery efforts by donating four specialist high-performance generators, which formed part of the power supply for the communities in the region. 

Honda recognises that taking positive action to tackle climate change and protect the environment is the socially responsible course, creating a better future in which everyone can pursue their dreams.

In Italy, Honda has developed an on-site solar array at its manufacturing plant, which has recently been expanded to provide 1.8MW of renewable energy, capable of powering 21% of on-site activity.
