Italy: Working with the NPO Voloentieri
In 2008, Honda Italy began working with Voloentieri, an NPO created in 2007 to provide assistance to disabled individuals who have difficulty participating in society. The group and Honda share the same value of respecting the individual. Honda Italy Industriale asks participants to perform work such as disassembling motorcycles and reclassifying parts, and their efforts to sort parts according to whether they can be reused are also environmentally friendly. The workers' enthusiasm helps improve the motivation of other associates.
