Honda reports comprehensive emissions data and renewable energy progress in North America, but absolute value chain emissions are rising despite corporate activity cuts. The company lags on EV transition—only 24% by 2030 versus IEA 1.5°C alignment of 66%—and actively opposes climate regulation through trade associations. Removal from SBTi and weak science-based targets undermine credibility.
