The Environment
Introducing the approach and policies concerning the global environment
Many environmental and resource-related issues including advancing global warming, excessive energy and water consumption, and the loss of biodiversity are becoming increasingly serious on a global scale. The Yamaha Motor group believes that the social responsibility of enterprises involved in the global supply of products that support mobility requires substantive measures to address these issues.
We are working to raise awareness of these issues, which are being confronted by communities throughout the world, while utilizing group strengths to address them. We recognize that personal mobility, which constitutes the core of our business, will play a substantial role. We believe that it is imperative that we take into account harmony with the environment in all our business activities including the development of high-quality compact vehicles with little environmental impact based on technological innovation, the spread of Smart Power* products such as electrically power assisted bicycles and electric motorcycles, research and development of hybrid systems, and the implementation of programs that contribute to society by using the human resources and know-how accumulated through our business.
With our corporate mission of "offering new excitement and a more fulfilling life for people all over the world," the Yamaha Motor group has hereto endeavored to create diverse value. Going forward, we are committed to continue achieving growth in tandem with the development of a sustainable society in an overall harmony that includes responding to environmental issues such as global warming, in accordance with the Yamaha Motor Group Environmental Plan 2020.
* Smart Power: New power sources, primarily for electric vehicles, designed to create a new paradigm of mobility
