Honda Selected as CDP “Climate Change A List” Company for Third Consecutive Year

Global sustainability reporting is becoming increasingly standardized, and a growing number of companies are disclosing their environmental impact. This trend is highlighted by the recent recognition of Honda as a leader in climate action by the CDP, a global non-profit organization.

Honda Recognized for Climate Action

Honda has been named to the Climate Change A List by the CDP. This designation recognizes companies with “outstanding initiatives” in addressing climate change. The CDP leads a global disclosure system where companies and local governments share environmental data.

The CDP Disclosure System

More than 22,100 companies participated in the CDP’s disclosure process in 2025. These companies represent over half of the world’s market capitalization. The CDP assesses submissions using a scoring system ranging from A to D⁻.

Did You Know? Honda is working toward carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities by 2050.

Honda’s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050 is driving its current strategies. The company is focusing on the electrification of its product line, including motorcycles, automobiles, and power products. Honda has established and publicly disclosed targets for both the sales ratio of electrified products and the reduction of CO₂ emissions during product use.

Corporate Emissions Reduction

Beyond product development, Honda is also targeting a 46% reduction in total CO₂ emissions from its corporate activities by 2030. This reduction is measured against a baseline established in the fiscal year ending March 2020. Honda is achieving this through improvements in production efficiency, energy-saving measures, and a shift towards low-carbon and renewable energy sources.

Expert Insight: The CDP’s A List designation is increasingly important as investors and consumers prioritize environmental responsibility. Companies actively disclosing and working to reduce their environmental impact are likely to be viewed more favorably in the marketplace.

The company views its ongoing initiatives as key to achieving recognition from organizations like the CDP. Further progress in electrification and emissions reduction could solidify Honda’s position as a sustainability leader.
