]]> Ever since the 1960s, Honda has actively endeavoured to address environmental problems  Tweet This!, seeking to reduce environmental impacts at every stage in the life cycle of its products, from product procurement to the design, development, production, transportation, sale, use and disposal stages.

This case study is based on the 2018 Sustainability Report by Honda published on the Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Disclosure Database that can be found at this link. Through all case studies we aim to demonstrate what CSR/ ESG/ sustainability reporting done responsibly means. Essentially, it means: a) identifying a company’s most important impacts on the environment, economy and society, and b) measuring, managing and changing.

Abstract

Due to the extremely large volume of transportation that takes place throughout the manufacturing process at Honda, increasing efficiency, reducing environmental burden, compliance and risk management in logistics, are all critical issues for Honda. In order to reduce logistics emissions Honda took action to:

  • identify global CO2 emissions
  • expand modal shifts
  • increase the ratio of longer carriers

What are the material issues the company has identified?

In its 2018 Sustainability Report Honda identified a range of material issues, such as responding to climate change and energy issues, reducing traffic fatalities, assuring outstanding product quality, respecting human rights. Among these, reducing logistics emissions stands out as a key material issue for Honda.

Stakeholder engagement in accordance with the GRI Standards              

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) defines the Principle of Stakeholder Inclusiveness when identifying material issues (or a company’s most important impacts) as follows:

“The reporting organization shall identify its stakeholders, and explain how it has responded to their reasonable expectations and interests.”

Stakeholders must be consulted in the process of identifying a company’s most important impacts and their reasonable expectations and interests must be taken into account. This is an important cornerstone for CSR / sustainability reporting done responsibly.

How stakeholder engagement was made to identify material issues

To identify and prioritise material topics Honda engaged in dialogue with leading environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) rating agencies and NGOs in Europe and the United States.

What actions were taken by Honda to reduce logistics emissions?

In its 2018 Sustainability Report Honda reports that it took the following actions for reducing logistics emissions:

  • Identifying global CO2 emissions
  • Honda is working to improve transportation efficiency in the shipping of vehicles and equipment, parts shipped between plants, parts for services and repairs, and parts collected from suppliers. Additionally, in FY2017 Honda started managing CO2 emissions in the transportation of automobile production parts, which make up the majority of international marine transport. In FY2018, Honda continued its efforts to identify CO2 emissions for all products around the world, by steadily expanding the scope to other product domains.
  • Expanding modal shifts
  • Honda tries to expand its modal shift, i.e. switching means of transportation from trucks to ship and rail transportation, with a focus on transportation to distant regions. For example, in Vietnam, the distance between Honda’s production facility on the outskirts of Hanoi in the north and the major market of Ho Chi Minh City in the south is over 1,700 km. For this reason, Honda is replacing conventional trucks with ship and rail transport for long-distance shipments between north and south. As a result, Honda will achieve reductions in CO2 of 27% with rail transport and 65% with ship transport, compared with conventional truck transport. In addition, Honda is working to increase efficiency in each transport mode and is introducing, in rail transport, freight cars specially designed for shipping automobiles with high load efficiency.
  • Increasing the ratio of longer carriers
  • In India, Honda reduced CO2 emissions by approximately 6,226t per year by improving the transport efficiency of completed vehicles from its factory to dealers. Honda India implemented this initiative in collaboration with logistics service providers and dealers, in which longer carriers transport two or more dealers’ clubbed orders on the same route, if one dealer order is less than six cars. Previously, Honda India used small carriers with four car capacity for small quantity dealer orders.

To identify and prioritise material topics Honda collected feedback from stakeholders through dialogue with leading environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) rating agencies and NGOs in Europe and the United States.

What actions were taken by Honda to promote women’s participation in its operations in Japan?

In its 2018 Sustainability Report Honda reports that it took the following actions for promoting women’s participation in its operations in Japan:

  • Building awareness and promoting an appropriate work climate
  • In an effort to “Build awareness and foster an appropriate work climate,” Honda has been organising several lectures and seminars for management-level associates and female associates. Since 2015, in addition to lectures for members of company management and general, office and factory managers, Honda has held a seminar for associates in management positions 39 times, with 3,600 participants. An additional seminar has also been provided to all female associates. To deal with work climate and work style issues, in FY2017 Honda started holding a work climate and work style lecture (19 times with approximately 800 participants) and a management support workshop (seven times with about 100 participants) for members of company management and general, office and factory managers. These activities helped management-level associates better recognise and understand issues related to an appropriate work climate and various work styles. In addition, to provide greater motivation to female associates and form a network among them, Honda organised a Diversity Forum, in which members of company management also participated. The Forum was organised for female associates holding management positions in 2016 and was extended to include chief supervisors in 2017 (total participation of approximately 500 associates).
  • Supporting career building
  • To “Support career building” and accelerate the nurturing of female associates focusing on the individual, Honda launched a programme in which supervisors create long-term, specific career development plans for aspiring female associates. Career advisors hold individual interviews with applicants to support their career building and, since 2015, such interviews were held with a total of 1,700 female associates. For female associates who have not received support through a career plan or consultation, Honda offered a total of 17 training sessions, including training to select a career theme for middle- and higher-level associates and training to build a career base for young associates. Additionally, in July 2016 Honda introduced a career support programme in child-rearing years to foster career development. In August 2017, Honda also started providing a seminar for female associates and their spouses on balancing work with child care.
  • Creating an appropriate environment and systems
  • Honda seeks to “Create an appropriate environment and systems,” to respond to associates’ diversifying needs and enable them to balance work and their desired lifestyles. Thus, in October 2016, Honda launched a half-day paid leave system. Honda also launched a system of working at home, and a system to provide financial support for child care in order to enhance its systems of short working hours and temporary nursery services. In April 2017 Honda also opened a company nursery in the Tochigi district and, in April 2018, in the Wako district. In addition, for associates forced to leave their job after a transfer of their spouses, Honda started, in April 2018, providing a system of transfer and a system of leave to accompany their spouses, in addition to its existing career reinstatement programme.

Which GRI Standards and corresponding Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been addressed?

The GRI Standards addressed in this case are:

1) Disclosure 404-2 Programs for upgrading employee skills and transition assistance programs

2) Disclosure 405-1 Diversity of governance bodies and employees

How stakeholder engagement was made to identify material issues

Especially in recent years, the growing scale and globalization of companies, along with the rapid proliferation of IT, have heightened the impact of companies on society and vice-versa. As this process continues to accelerate, Honda believes that stakeholder dialogue is a beneficial tool that enables it to expand business opportunities and increase the company’s customer base, while also giving it an understanding of changes and risks in the social environment. Based on this understanding, the different divisions at Honda conduct dialogues globally, through a variety of opportunities, with the stakeholders engaged in Honda’s business: those stakeholders that either are impacted by Honda’s business activities or whose activities impact Honda’s business activities.

Honda engages with customers through customer satisfaction surveys, safe driving activities at dealerships, motor shows and other events, with shareholders and investors through annual reports, financial results briefings and briefings for institutional investors, with policymakers through participation in the council bodies of government bodies and industrial groups such as Keidanren and the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association and participation in international initiatives, with research institutes through support for academic meetings, collaboration with universities, special lectures, merchantability verification for products and co-development of technology, with experts and local government through dialogues concerning local government policies and technology and feasibility studies, with the media through communication with journalists, new model/new technology launch events and press releases, with NGOs through collaborative projects, regular communication and response to surveys and questionnaires, with suppliers through supplier networking events/briefings, the Green Network Meeting, joint events and supplier risk assessments, with dealers through Dealer Conferences, certification system briefings and site visits, with local communities through networking events for local residents, plant tours, events for children and students and social activities by associates and, with associates, through associate satisfaction surveys, direct communication between executives and associates, education and training via intranets and internal media.

What actions were taken by Honda to promote traffic safety worldwide?

In its 2016 Sustainability Report Honda set the following targets for promoting traffic safety worldwide, based on the company’s approach to materiality – on taking action on what matters, where it matters:

  • Promoting traffic safety for people with disabilities (Japan)

Honda is working for the safety of all people through a variety of initiatives. In addition to the dissemination of traffic safety education for people at all stages of life, from infants to the elderly, in recent years Honda has supported traffic safety activities aimed at people with physical disabilities. Specifically, Honda expanded its activities to assist people with disabilities with higher cerebral functions for whom driving a car can help with their social reintegration. This includes software to support the evaluation of driving abilities to help rehabilitation (started in 2012, at 106 facilities) and a self-operated safe driving program (started in 2013, introduced at 16 facilities and 126 participants). In addition, with the continuing aging of society, an increasing number of the elderly are transported by car to hospitals and day care centers. Honda is working to ensure the safety and security of the car users when they are being picked up and dropped off.

  • Supporting a driving technology research program aiming to eliminate fatal traffic accidents among teens (North and Central America)

Since 2001, in the U.S. there have been over 100,000 deaths of 16-24 year olds when young people are driving. Among teenagers, fatal traffic accidents claim 67 lives a week, nine per day, or one every two hours (according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)). The American Honda Foundation provided funding to the Clemson University Foundation in support of its Driving SCIENCE–Saving Teenage Lives program, a driving technology research program aimed at eradicating fatal traffic accidents among teenagers. The long-term goal of the program is to protect the life of every teenager by providing teachers with activities that address science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) standards in a way that helps students understand the STEM behind driving safety, giving them scientifically based tools for driving safety. These projects are offered free of charge and provided online to Driving SCIENCE teachers and the greater education community. More than 35,000 students are targeted to experience the science and math of safe driving during the grant period.

  • Providing safe driving educational activities at the Traffic Educational Center in three Brazilian cities (South America)

Honda is providing safe driving educational activities at the Traffic Educational Center in the three Brazilian cities of Indaiatuba, Manaus and Recife. Participants include people from governmental agencies, motorcycle owners and riders who learn about correct behavior as a rider, riding posture and riding skills in an actual traffic environment. Since the project first began in Indaiatuba in 1998, some 657,000 people have taken part, including approximately 12,045 in 2015. In addition to discussions on “Harmony in Traffic,” other programs including Clubinho Honda and mobile traffic safety educational activities have been implemented. In addition the Harmony Traffic website has been set up, as well as traffic safety educational programs via YouTube and Facebook. In 2015, these portals attracted 770,000 visitors.

  • Providing motorcycle rider training for women in India (Asia & Oceania)

HMSI (Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India) launched the Dream Riding motorcycle rider education program for women in Delhi. The program is a unique commitment to support women who want to become independent, whereby by learning safe riding they also gain the freedom of mobility. Open to all women over 18 years of age, more than 2,500 women signed up for the free course, an unprecedented response from women in India who seek independence. Training was conducted by 28 experienced female instructors at Honda at Honda’s traffic training parks.

  • Launching the Honda Dream Road safe driving campaign in Thailand (Asia & Oceania)

Honda Automobile (Thailand) Co., Ltd. (HATC), in collaboration with the Thai Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, offered Honda Dream Road safe driving training programs at Honda dealerships and service centers nationwide. The program provides training on safe driving guidelines and will be extended to university students in the future.
