Honda's philosophy is based on "Respect for the Individual." We are committed to bringing together a diverse group of Associates, dealers and suppliers to foster the kind of innovation and vitality that enables us to achieve our dream of creating products and technologies that make people's lives better. In this spirit, every Honda Associate and business partner is expected to embrace and actively support diversity and the cultural richness and advantages it provides.

Honda remains committed to developing business relationships with a diverse supplier base. Women and minority entrepreneurs can be an excellent source of new ideas and can help us shape products that exceed expectations. After all, our suppliers are a reflection of our customers and our communities.

Honda believes people - in all their diversity - strengthen the competitiveness of our companies and make it possible for us to deliver world-class products. We also believe encouraging diversity within and beyond our corporate boundaries is an important business practice and we urge our suppliers to embrace the same commitment.

Honda is committed to recruiting candidates from diverse backgrounds to become part of the Honda team.

As founder of Honda Motor Co., Soichiro Honda understood the importance of people working as a team. At the center of that philosophy is Respect for the Individual - a fundamental belief that each associate can explore and create his or her own dreams. The atmosphere that encourages associate involvement underlies Honda's commitment to build the highest quality and most popular motorcycles, automobiles, engines and power products.

Bringing together a team of associates with varied experiences and ideas is what defines the success of our team. Therefore, Honda hires qualified people who understand the importance of working as a team. This one-team philosophy allows Honda to accomplish its Company Principle:

"Maintaining a global viewpoint, we are dedicated to supplying products of the highest quality yet at a reasonable price for worldwide customer satisfaction."
