Honda Global Environmental Slogan and Symbol
As an expression of our determination to continue furthering environmental initiatives toward the realisation of our vision for the future, we established the Honda Global Environmental Slogan – Blue Skies for Our Children – and the Honda global environmental symbol was established as a symbol of the slogan.
“We want to pass on the joy and freedom of mobility to the next generation (for our children), and that’s why we are committed to realising a sustainable society where people can enjoy life (blue skies).”
This slogan symbolises Honda’s unwavering commitment to environmental efforts, reflecting both our past and future aspirations.
Global Environmental Symbol
The design features a round globe motif that represents the natural blessings essential for achieving a “sustainable society where people can enjoy life.” It includes the sun and blue skies (clean air), clean water, and lush green land. The central white line symbolises the pathways for free mobility, while the heart represents Honda’s commitment and passion for environmental efforts.

Triple Action to ZERO
The activities aimed at achieving a “Zero Environmental Impact Society“ are centred around “Triple Action to ZERO,”a concept that consolidates three key initiatives: “Carbon Neutrality,” “Clean Energy,” and “Resource Circulation.”
The three initiatives of “Triple Action to ZERO” are closely related and we aim to maximise synergistic benefits by considering their linkages.
The “Triple Action to ZERO” initiative is also linked to the international demand for preserving biodiversity and fostering harmony with nature. In advancing this initiative, we will consider “nature-based solutions*” as well.
*Nature-based Solutions (NbS) involve advancing societal challenges while conserving and restoring natural ecosystems.
