Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (7267.T) is a Japanese OEM producing passenger vehicles, motorcycles, power equipment, and marine engines. It is the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer and ranks among the top five passenger-car OEMs globally.
No corporate parent. GLEIF LEI 549300P7ZYCQJ36CCS16 reports no direct/ultimate parent (parent_reported: false). Honda is independently listed with no controlling shareholder; largest registered holder is a trust-bank nominee/custodial account (~16%, not a beneficial controller), with the remainder dispersed across global institutional asset managers (BlackRock, Vanguard, etc.) and retail — not publicly disclosed as belonging to any single controlling entity.
Named counterparties identified by open-source research and written only where a primary source states the relationship — never inferred from sector or co-mention. 1 supplier. This is a partial view: it covers the relationships we could evidence, not the company's full supply base.
Honda and LG Energy Solution broke ground 2023-02-28 on a ~USD4.4bn joint-venture battery plant in Fayette County, Ohio (~40 GWh/yr pouch-type lithium-ion cells), stated in the release to supply Honda's North American BEV production. Ownership split of the JV and per-vehicle share not given in this release.
Scope. Absence of a counterparty here is not evidence that none exists — most commercial sourcing is confidential and never becomes public. Rows without a share figure mean no share was disclosed, not that the relationship is small.
Another tracked dossier names this company as a counterparty in its own sourced disclosure — this platform never wrote these rows on this company's own page, they are read here inverted from the dossier that disclosed them. This is a partial view: 1004 additional named-counterparty rows across the corpus could not be matched to a tracked dossier by name at all (mostly non-Latin legal names), so the true count is higher than what renders here.
Honda signed a shareholders' agreement with Asahi Kasei (Nov 2024) taking a 25% stake (approx. C$417m, approx. US$300m per the release) by subscribing to new shares in Asahi Kasei Honda Battery Separator Corporation (tentative name at signing; formerly E-Materials Canada Corp.), the JV building the Port Colborne, Ontario Hipore battery-separator plant (total investment 180 billion yen; approx. 700 million m2/yr as coated film; release then scheduled commercial start-up in 2027). No separator volume or customer-share percentage disclosed; Honda is an equity JV partner and the named anchor customer, not confirmed as sole offtaker. Re-checked 2026-09-23 (wake-minerals-buyers, step 0.5) and 2026-09-26 (wake-verify: release re-fetched, figures above match): Honda separately suspended its own $15B Ontario EV assembly/battery-complex investment (unrelated Alliston plant, cited 2026-05-16), and Asahi Kasei confirmed via press (ca.news.yahoo.com/1-5b-battery-separator-plant-080000081.html, syndicated CBC News, 2026-05-16) that Honda's 25% JV stake is unaffected -- a company communications specialist stated (per the CBC/Yahoo piece, re-fetched 2026-10-02) that Asahi Kasei remains fully committed to the Port Colborne project -- but commercial production has slipped to H1-2029 (from FY2027), driven partly by Honda's own Ontario EV plant timeline sliding to 2028 and partly by weaker EV-adoption orders industry-wide; Asahi Kasei is now emphasizing multiple customers/applications beyond Honda alone. Confidence stays primary-source for the JV/stake facts (company-disclosed, unretracted); the timeline revision is corroborated by secondary press (CBC/Yahoo), not a company press release. Earlier version of this note gave the stake as US$417m; the release says C$417m.
Scope. This section is inverted evidence: each linked dossier wrote the original row about itself, describing its own relationship to this company. It is never a claim this company itself disclosed. Absence here is not evidence of no relationship — most of the corpus has no named-counterparty block at all yet.
Every exposure is read as a buyer dependency; the top 3 are its binding chokepoints. If this company actually produces one of these materials rather than buying it, that would be misclassified here — no producer-classifier entry exists for 4 of them.
Dossier discloses a neodymium exposure with no Dy/Tb/Sm tag, but Dy/Tb doping is what buys the temperature resistance automotive applications need, so it is doped as a rule pending a disclosed grade.
A61's suspension (Announcement 70) lapses 10 Nov 2026 — on the plain text, controls revive automatically. The US DoD CN/RU/IR/KP sourcing bar follows 1 Jan 2027. See the underlying extraterritorial export-control action. We supply the provenance file; we never compute your ratio for you.
As a buyer, policy pressure across its consumed materials is rising.
Descriptive trend in official policy actions on this company’s materials — a policy-pressure trend, not a price or trading signal. No forward probability is implied. Direction is measured on actions we have discovered, and discovery lags events: where the recent window is too thin to support a calm reading, the row says coverage-limited instead of easing.
No actions in the register have named or swept this company in the last 24 months.
