Corporate Social

Underlying the Honda Company Principle are our two fundamental beliefs, the three joys (Joy of Buying, Joy of Selling and the Joy of Creating) and Respect for the Individual. The belief of respect for the individual is applied to Honda’s relationship with fellow associates and with the people, companies and communities with whom it conducts business. Thus, Honda believes that as a “member of society, we must be sensitive to the needs of the communities in which we do business and the environment.” With this in mind, the Honda Foundation was created. To strengthen Honda’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), the purpose for which the Foundation was created was amended to include projects in any of the following fields: Environment Protection & Safety, Youth Development & Education, Job creation and Poverty Alleviation (Philanthropy)

Safety

Honda Philippines, Inc. values the safety of its customers. Beyond just manufacturing top quality motorcycles, Honda wishes to impart the skill and responsibility involved in using them. Through the Honda Safety Driving Center (HSDC), the company aims to help safeguard the well-being of motorcycle riders. It is the first motorcycle riding school in the country, and is accredited by the Land Transportation Office. The HSDC offers comprehensive training on the basics of intelligent, safe and responsible motorcycle riding, and on the basics of motorcycle maintenance. A concise yet comprehensive instruction on these aspects of motorcycle usage is made available to owners of new Honda motorcycles through the S.M.A.R.T. Start program.

Environment

Honda Philippines, Inc. is concerned about the environment. Its manufacturing processes, which employ facilities and systems for waste water treatment, maintaining air cleanliness, energy conservation and solid waste management, are designed to make optimal use of resources while minimizing environmental impact. Our motorcycles in the Philippines have passed Euro 3, a world standard for measuring the cleanliness of vehicular emissions. The Euro 3 standard is a more stringent standard than the one used in the country. Because of this, locally manufactured Honda motorcycles are compliant with the Philippine Clean Air Act Regulation.
