Yamaha and the Environment
The Yamaha Group considers environmental conservation as a vital theme in its business activities and in 1994 enacted the “Yamaha Policy on the Environment,” which lays out the Group’s basic stance on environmental issues.
Since then, the Group has worked to promote environmental conservation based on this policy, and to instil an understanding of this policy in its employees through ongoing programs of environmental education.
Premise
Earth exists not only for those of us who currently live on it, but also for our descendants. We must live in a way that will ensure a future for our children and grandchildren. It is, therefore, our duty to protect our valuable environment so that all living creatures can continue to live on this planet forever.
Policy
Yamaha’s corporate objective is to continue to create Kando
and enrich culture with technology and passion born of sound and music, together with people all over the world. We have to be aware that corporate activities are deeply related to the environment, and we at Yamaha acknowledge our responsibility to nature. We are dedicated to enriching people’s lives and helping to preserve the environment as we live together harmoniously in society.
