Since the company's foundation, Honda has sought to contribute to society by creating quality products and technologies while coexisting harmoniously with the communities that host its operations. In the 1960s, while the company was still in a period of early growth, Honda began to launch philanthropic initiatives designed to strengthen ties with local communities. In the 1970s, striving to strengthen its contributions to society and build a brighter future, Honda established foundations in Japan to foster broad-ranging research, education, and cultural exchange. Throughout the 6 regions of Honda's worldwide operations, Honda is working to help people realize their dreams.
