TOKYO: Honda became the first company in the automotive industry to receive the highest ranking of “3 stars,” as part of the FIA Road Safety Index, set forth by the FIA to enable businesses and organizations to measure their road safety footprint.
The 3-star recognition was announced on Feb 17 at the “Challenge 2030: Achieving the Global Road Safety Goals”, a concurrent event of the 4th Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety which was held in Marrakech, Morocco, from Feb 18 through 20, 2025.
The FIA Road Safety (RS) Index is a new tool designed to enable companies and organizations to visualize and measure the impact of their operations on road safety and achieve more sustainable road traffic.
The Index provides comprehensive assessment and evaluation of the safety footprint of each company/organization based on various factors such as their road safety goals, commitment, and the number of road traffic fatalities and injuries across their entire value chain.
Striving to realize a collision-free society for everyone sharing the road, Honda has been committed to pursuing safety initiatives, from both hardware and software perspectives, under the Honda global safety slogan of “Safety for Everyone.”
As milestones of its challenge, Honda is striving to reduce the number of traffic collision fatalities involving Honda motorcycles and automobiles worldwide by 50% by 2030, then to achieve zero traffic collision fatalities by 2050.
Becoming the first automaker to receive 3 stars as part of the FIA RS Index represents Honda’s strong commitment to the pursuit of road safety.
Safety initiatives Honda has been conducting based on its long-term safety strategy were highly evaluated, as well as the fact that Honda has been tracking the number of traffic collision fatalities and serious injuries across its value chain, by age and by type of road user, as its road safety footprint.
