HONDA GIKEN KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHA ( HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. ) /s/ Sumihiro Takahashi Sumihiro Takahashi General Manager Finance Division Honda Motor Co., Ltd. Date: July 22, 2024 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. Last updated: July 9, 2024 Honda Motor Co., Ltd. Toshihiro Mibe Contact and telephone number: Governance and Compliance Division Telephone: 03-3423-1111 (main number) Securities code number: 7267 https://global.honda/en/ The status of corporate governance at Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, Honda, the Company) is as follows. I. Basic Approach to Corporate Governance, and Capital Composition, Corporate Attributes and Other Basic Information 1. Basic Approach Honda strives to enhance corporate governance as one of the most important tasks for its management, based on the Companys basic principle, in order to strengthen the trust of our shareholders/investors, customers and society; encourage timely, decisive and risk-considered decision-making; seek sustainable growth and the enhancement of corporate value over the mid- and long-term; and become a company that society wants to exist. In order to clearly segregate the supervisory function and execution function of management and to strengthen the supervisory function and to enable prompt and flexible decisions, the Company has Nominating Committee, Audit Committee, and Compensation Committee, which each are composed of more than one half of Outside Directors, and has adopted a company with three committees structure which allows broad delegation of the business execution authority from Board of Directors to the Executive Officers. 1 We are making efforts to appropriately disclose corporate information including the release and disclosure of quarterly financial results and management policies in a timely and accurate manner to bolster trust and appreciation from shareholders/investors and society. Going forward, we will continue to strive to ensure the transparency of our management. Reasons for not complying with certain principles under the Corporate Governance Code [Supplementary Principle 2.4.1] Approaches for securing diversity in assignment, etc. of core human resources For Honda, diversity of the workforce means to enhance our total strength by providing equal opportunities to people regardless of their personal attributes, such as race, nationality, cultural background, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, past career, educational background and having disabilities or not. Honda also encourages them to respect each others individual differences and talents while exerting their own abilities to the fullest, based on Hondas philosophy of Respect for the Individual. Honda has always strived to assign the right people to the right positions depending on their capabilities toward achieving the business strategy regardless of individual attributes (such as nationality or gender). Regarding assigning women to management positions, Honda has set numerical targets and is engaged in initiatives such as talent development. For details, please refer to 4. SocialHuman Resources in the Honda ESG Data Book 2024 published on our website. Although Honda has not set numerical targets for assigning mid-career employees to management positions, the ratios of employees in management positions are almost equal for graduate hires and mid-career hires, indicating that assignment to management positions does not depend on attributes such as hiring paths. 2 The Honda group has also launched a Global Succession Plan to systematically develop and appoint competent and motivated personnel regardless of individual attributes. More specifically, Honda has developed a Global Competency Model (GCM), which
