Since the size of corporate activities and their impact on society is so vast, there is a growing interest on how approaches to worldwide social responsibility will be implemented in the 21st century on issues such as global warming that is representative of environmental issues, changes to the markets in the global era and rapid advances in information technology.
Even before that, Honda has been pursuing initiatives in its own way to fulfill its responsibilities as a corporate citizen. The ideal of our founder Soichiro Honda of “Fulfilling social responsibilities is an obvious goal as a company. …It is my hope that Honda will continue to fulfill its social responsibilities and that all employees will also complete their own responsibilities as a member of society.” exists as the root and the pillar of all our activities.
As well as introduce our contributions to society through our products and technology, we will introduce some annual milestones of our widespread activities as they represent the founder’s ideals of “being a company that works toward the sustainable development of society and provide joy for the next generation.”
As part of its social responsibility as an automobile manufacturer, Honda created the Traffic Safety Promotion Center in 1970. For the past 40 years, we have conducted our activities based on the ideas of “passing on safety education from person to person” and “participatory hands-on education.”
American Honda Motor Co., Inc., which was established in 1959, founded Eagle Rock School and Professional Development Center. American Honda has been supporting this educational institution for the past 20 years since the early 1990’s as a way to give back to American society. We will introduce its history here.
As a gift for the 21st century, Twin Link Motegi Speedway is the result of Honda’s commitment to realizing dreams. Hello Woods, the vast forest that surrounds the speedway has continued to fulfill this commitment to society for the past 10 years.
