Introduction of Activities
01.Supporting Our Youth for the Futures
-
Ongoing Support for Local Elementary Schools
In Ayutthaya, Thailand, we have been conducting continuous support activities for local elementary schools since 2018. These activities include donating sports equipment, providing educational materials, repainting buildings, maintaining playgrounds, and cleaning shared areas. Additionally, we support technology-driven education and self-sufficient food education initiatives.
-
Aluminum Can Collection Activities at Elementary Schools
In Japan, our aluminum manufacturing company collaborates with local elementary school students to collect aluminum cans, which are then recycled into sports equipment and educational materials. While beverage cans are not ideal for recycling, they are repurposed at our factory as part of a community initiative and eventually transformed into components of Honda products. During visits to schools for can collection, we also provide brief lectures on the importance of resource recycling.
02.Protecting the Global Environment
-
Mangrove Planting Activities
In Thailand and Indonesia, we work with local communities to engage in mangrove planting activities. Mangrove forests form unique ecosystems in brackish water areas and play critical roles in CO₂ absorption, water purification, and preventing coastal erosion. However, they are rapidly declining due to environmental pollution and climate change. Through these activities, we aim to contribute to the protection of coastal environments and local industries.
-
Participation in Honda Beach Clean Activities
In Japan, we actively participate in the “Honda Beach Cleanup Project” organized by the Honda Group. Together with local community members and volunteers from group companies, we strive to pass on “Barefoot beaches” for future generations. We will continue to support and participate in these activities moving forward.
03.Addressing Local Community Needs
-
Vehicle Donation to Areas Affected by the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake
Honda Trading supports the activities of the Japan Car Sharing Association, which provides free vehicle rentals to disaster-affected areas. In response to the Noto Peninsula Earthquake that occurred in January 2024, we donated nine pre-owned Honda vehicles to the affected region. While modest, we hope this contribution will support the “freedom of mobility” for those impacted by the earthquake.
-
Support Activities for Agricultural Universities
In India, we have been engaged in social contribution activities across the country for over 10 years. Since 2022, under the theme of “Supporting India’s Agricultural System” for the environment and next-generation education, we have been donating Honda agricultural equipment to agricultural universities, supporting biomass-related agricultural projects, and conducting training programs for agricultural workers. Through these efforts, we aim to make a broad contribution to local communities.
