Program overview
How American Honda Motor Co.'s supplier diversity program works.
Honda hosts its supplier diversity page on the Honda North American procurement site at purchasing.honda.com, operated by American Honda Motor Co. Corporate Procurement. The page states that Honda's supplier diversity initiatives support the development of small, minority and women-owned businesses by creating opportunities for them to introduce their companies. Honda strongly recognizes businesses that are MBE or WMBE certified; certification is recommended rather than required to do business with Honda. The page names the National Minority Supplier Development Council and its regional affiliate councils, the Southern California minority council, the Women's Business Enterprise National Council, and the SBA as accepted certifying agencies. Suppliers join the Honda supplier database by registering through the Supplier Registration page on the same procurement site, which also hosts the American Honda Premier Partner supplier recognition program.
