Honda Motor has accepted the resignation of Executive Vice President Shinji Aoyama in light of allegations of inappropriate conduct during a social event. While the specifics of the allegations go unmentioned, CEO Toshihiro Mibe will face a temporary 20% salary reduction in acknowledgment of the seriousness of the situation. An internal investigation and external reviews led to the board's decision for Aoyama to resign. Honda plans to restructure its management in response to this incident as it grapples with maintaining corporate integrity and leadership accountability.
"It is deeply regrettable that an individual positioned as a leader in the management of the company, and who is expected to set an example for the respect of human rights and compliance with relevant laws and regulations, has become the subject of an allegation of conduct contrary to these principles."
"After an audit committee led an investigation into the allegation, compiled a disciplinary action plan and sought opinions from outside experts, Honda's board was scheduled to make a decision on the disciplinary action."
