The Yamaha Motor Group Organizational Structure for
Environmental Planning and Promotion
Strive to harmonize with the environment for sustainable social development
The Yamaha Motor Group aims to be a company that fulfills its corporate social responsibility by striving to maintain harmony
with the environment and society based on Yamaha Motor Group Environmental Plan 2020, formulated in 2010.
Organizational Structures for Promoting
Environmental Management
The Yamaha Motor Group has established an Environment Committee,
chaired by the Executive Vice President, as the central organization
responsible for the Group’s environmental activities in Japan and overseas.
The committee deliberates on policies and visions for the future
concerning environmental initiatives, medium- and long-term
environmental policies, strategic investment proposals relating to
environmental preservation, environmental monitoring topics and
responses to issues, and other key issues relating to environmental
management. The policies and activities discussed are reported to the
Board of Directors.
Activities to Identify and Reduce Both Direct and
Indirect Greenhouse Gas Emissions
The Yamaha Motor Group endeavors to identify greenhouse gas emissions
resulting both directly (e.g., from the burning of fuel at factories) and
indirectly (e.g., from electricity use at factories and offices) from its
corporate activities in each location in which it operates, and to reduce
those amounts. We will also work to more precisely measure direct and
indirect emissions in each location, and to further reduce emissions at all
factories and offices.
