Summary
Honda, a major laggard in the transition to electric vehicles, is a new entrant to the Leaderboard this year, which finds that the automaker is also one of the worst performers of the industry when it comes to eliminating emissions and environmental harms from its supply chain, scoring just 4% in this area. Honda fares little better on human rights, having made some commitments but lacking adequate substance when it comes to policies and processes to ensure these commitments are fulfilled.
Key Findings
- Is one of the few automakers that fails to adequately disclose the scope 3 emissions from its supply chain and to set a science-based target to reduce its supply chain emissions.
- Has not disclosed any action taken to decarbonize its steel, aluminum, and battery supply chains, receiving a 0% score in all three categories.
- Poor track record on climate lobbying further pulls down its fossil-free and environmentally sustainable score.
- Has made top-level commitments to human rights, responsible transition minerals and workers’ rights. But fails to disclose adequate due diligence processes to identify, prevent, mitigate and remedy human rights risks and abuses in its supply chain
