Yamaha Group Selected as Prestigious "A" List Company for Climate Change by CDP
Yamaha Corporation (hereinafter "Yamaha") has been recognized for leadership in corporate sustainability by CDP*1, an international environmental non-profit organization, as a "CDP 2023 Climate Change A List" company for its proactive initiatives and transparency regarding climate change. This is the second time Yamaha is included in the A list following 2021.
Approximately 23,000 major companies around the world responded to this year's CDP Climate Change Survey. The companies were evaluated on an eight-point scale from D- to A, with the highest honorable "A List" being awarded to 346 companies worldwide, including 109 companies in Japan.
Rapid climate change poses a major threat to humanity and to all life-forms on earth. Yamaha recognizes that helping combat this threat and contributing to the decarbonization of society are corporate responsibilities and important management issues.
The Group supports the realization of a sustainable society and regards its response to climate change, the sustainable use of timber, resource savings, the reduction of waste and hazardous substances as its environmental materialities, with the aim of achieving the "Well-Being of People around the World."
Yamaha is committed to the set target of achieving net zero emissions by 2050, including along the value chain, and has set a medium-term goal of a 55% reduction in Scope 1+2*2 greenhouse gas emissions and a 30% reduction in Scope 3*2 emissions by FY2030 ending March 2031 compared to FY2017 (SBTi-certified 1.5°C-aligned targets*3). Yamaha is also focusing on the preservation and restoration of ecosystems and will continue to take steady and lasting actions toward decarbonization and nature positivity, such as actively promoting the use of certified timber and other sustainability-conscious wood products.
