Honda Overhauls Board Structure and Leadership to Strengthen Governance

Honda Motor Co ( (JP:7267) ) has shared an announcement.

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has revised its slate of director candidates ahead of its June 2026 ordinary shareholders’ meeting, elevating Mahito Shikama from managing officer at Honda R&D Co., Ltd. to executive officer and director at the parent company. The company also plans the retirement of managing executive officer Manabu Ozawa as part of a broader leadership reshuffle effective June 1 and at the June meeting, signalling a recalibration of its senior management structure.

In tandem with these personnel moves, Honda is overhauling its board governance framework to support faster, more transparent strategic execution. The automaker will shift to a board where outside directors form a majority, make both the Nominating and Compensation Committees fully independent, and appoint an outside director as chair of the board, changes that are expected to strengthen oversight and bolster investor confidence in its decision-making processes.
