Honda does not have a science-based target. It has set combined targets for scope 1 and 2 emissions (from direct operations) and scope 3 emissions (from outside direct operations) together but it is difficult for external assessors to audit and assess consolidated targets. Honda can improve by setting a Science Based Targets Initiative-validated target for each of its scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. It should also share scenario analysis and stress testing results and extend its low-carbon planning beyond 2030.
Further, its low-carbon vehicle share of 0.3 percent is far below the level required by its decarbonisation pathway (5.7 percent). Honda does little to incentivise customers to switch to low-carbon cars and no evidence of new business models to aid its transition to the low-carbon economy was found. One recent positive move has been Honda withdrawing from Formula 1 to shift resources to researching and building low-carbon vehicles.
