For the second year in a row, Yamaha Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Yamaha") has been chosen as one of the brands in the Health & Productivity Stock Selection. This program selects companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange that excel in Health and Productivity Management. Yamaha has also been recognized as a Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization (White 500).

Yamaha Corporate Services Corporation, a subsidiary of Yamaha, was also recognized as a Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization (White 500).

The Health & Productivity Stock Selection was jointly launched by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) in 2015 to select companies that practice employee health and productivity management from a management perspective and actively implement health management strategies.

The Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization is a program launched in collaboration with METI and the Nippon Kenko Kaigi in 2017 to recognize organizations that practice outstanding health-awareness management. In particular, the top 500 organizations in the large enterprise category are recognized as a Certified Health & Productivity Management Outstanding Organization (White 500).

Since 2002, the Group has been conducting the Birth Month Health Checkups, regular health checkups at the clinic at its headquarters. All examinees are granted a doctor's consultation based on the diagnostic results, and the prompt feedback has led to a high level of health awareness among employees. In the area of smoking control measures, which Yamaha has been focusing on, including the involvement of top management, Yamaha has made great progress in its efforts to protect the health of its employees by completely prohibiting smoking on all the Group's premises in Japan in April 2022.

The Group will continue to actively address the maintenance and improvement of the physical and mental health of its employees as an important management theme. Additionally, the Group will aim to support the "Well-being of People around the World."
