Honda Community Pillar Award

Since our founding in 1948, Honda has continuously worked to provide value to help people and create a better society through our technologies, ideas and designs. The starting point of such efforts is our desire to “help people and society” and “expand the potential of people’s lives.” The underlying basis of these efforts is the concept of “Respect for the Individual,” which constitutes Honda’s Fundamental Beliefs. Honda believes that human beings are born as free and unique individuals with the capacity to think, reason and create — and the ability to dream. Our wish is to nurture and promote these characteristics in Honda by respecting individual differences, trusting each other as equal partners, exercising abilities to the fullest and sharing joy. Honda celebrates the diversity of our communities and will provide funding for programs and/or events that support the cultures, heritage and traditions of marginalized communities.
