About Us
We at Honda dream of a better world where people, technology and the environment live as one. That is why our products and processes are designed to put safe, efficient, economical, and environment-friendly technology at the service of people and the community. At our new Batangas plant, once also just a dream that is now a 20-hectare reality, we push ahead with our efforts to provide our customers with life-building technology. This way, our dreams tie in with theirs, and together we readily face the future, because at Honda, we continue to witness the power of dreams.


Corporate Social Responsibility
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 Riding Academy (HRA), the company aims to help safeguard the well-being of motorcycle riders. It is the first and only motorcycle riding school in the country, and is accredited by the Land Transportation Office.
The HRA 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 HRA's 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 1, a world standard for measuring the cleanliness of vehicular emissions. The Euro 1 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.



Technology
Honda Philippines, Inc. adheres to high technological standards. Technological expertise, continuous research and development and meticulous quality control honed through years of experience are applied for customer satisfaction. The results are machines that are efficient, economical and environment-friendly, that deliver good value at reasonable prices. These are all part of the company's dream of improving the quality of human life through technology.
