Section 1 – Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01

Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report

Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Honda has determined that tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold (“conflict minerals”) are necessary to the functionality or production of the majority of motorcycle, automobile and power products manufactured by Honda or contracted by Honda to be manufactured. Accordingly, Honda has conducted in good faith a reasonable country of origin inquiry (“RCOI”) regarding such conflict minerals that is reasonably designed to determine whether any of the conflict minerals originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (“DRC”) or its adjoining countries or are from recycled or scrap sources. For the RCOI, Honda conducted a supply chain survey using the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template published by the Responsible Minerals Initiative.

Based on the RCOI, Honda has exercised due diligence on the source and chain of custody of such conflict minerals that conforms to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, Third Edition (the “OECD Guidance”), an internationally recognized due diligence framework. However, Honda was unable to determine that its necessary conflict minerals did not originate in the DRC or its adjoining countries or did come from recycled or scrap sources; accordingly, Honda has prepared a Conflict Minerals Report, which is filed as Exhibit 1.01 hereto.

A copy of Honda’s Conflict Minerals Report is available at the following website:
