Honda is so pleased to welcome you to Columbus, Ohio and we hope you enjoy your time here.
We are excited to be a sponsor of the National Urban League conference this year, as we come together to discuss how we can harness technology to move us forward.
At Honda, we’ve been doing just that for more than 30 years.
In 1982, we became the first Japanese automaker to build a manufacturing facility in the United States and it is located less than 50 miles from here, in Marysville.
Today, we employ 14,000 people in Ohio, in fields ranging from engineering, purchasing, research and development to information technology, communications and human resources, among others.
Honda is a philosophy-driven company and we believe strongly in Respect for the Individual. This belief that the potential of each associate must be unlocked for the company to become successful is derived directly from our founder, Soichiro Honda. This commitment to ensure inclusive thinking has been part of how we do business from the very beginning.
Whether developing fuel-efficient, low-emission products, minimizing the environmental impact of our global manufacturing operations, or assisting communities in need, Honda seeks to be a responsible company and community partner.
Honda is honored to be part of this important conversation.
Sincerely,
Yvette Hunsicker
Honda North America
