Takuya NakataPresident and Representative Executive Officer

Yamaha Corporation

Our history began in 1887 when Yamaha founder

Torakusu Yamaha completed a difficult repair job on

a reed organ at a Japanese primary school. Perhaps no

one thought at the time that this event would mark

the beginning of 130-plus year history during which

Yamaha would become a world-leading brand in musical

instruments, other products, and services dear to the

hearts of people everywhere.

Translation into multiple languages

Over its long history of manufacturing acoustic

instruments, Yamaha has produced a broad array of

original technologies, guided by the expertise passed on

from generation to generation and our keen sensitivity

about sound creation. While in the field of digital

instruments and audio equipment, Yamaha has developed

groundbreaking electronics technology. By drawing on

the strengths of these technologies and fusing them,

Yamaha continues to create value in unique ways as well

as new ways to enjoy and utilize sound and music.

Omotenashi Guide™Yamaha’s "Omotenashi* Guide" helps promote inbound

tourism and barrier-free initiatives by receiving translations

of Japanese-language announcements in written formats on

smartphones and tablet devices.*"Omotenashi" in Japanese means "hospitality."

ViReal™ViReal is a recording, editing, and reproduction technology

that captures 3D sounds in a real world fashion.

Listening with headphones and multi-speakers installed with

ViReal technology, users can experience a greater depth and

presence of sound than ever before imagined.

Yamaha fuses its technologies to invent new hybrid instruments and to enhance its existing

products.

Initiatives in New Businesses

Fusion of Core Technologies

In the musical instruments domain, Yamaha has a long

history of R&D related to processing wood, metal, and other

materials and draws on this legacy to present its customers

with more and more fulfilling sound and music experiences.

What is more, through ongoing research of technologies on

the mechanisms of keyboard actions, sound generation and

effects, and acoustics, we have a passion for developing

superior sound and making outstanding performance possible.

In the audio equipment sphere, Yamaha draws on its strengths

in advanced software and electronic technologies, primarily

in digital signal processing and network technologies and

leverages its expertise as well as its know-how about sound

in innovative ways. Yamaha offers high-value-added products

like AV products and PA equipment as well as network devices.

Core Technologies

Research on instrument structureYamaha constantly evolves its instruments by using its cutting-edge technologies to study how acoustic musical instruments vibrate and transmit sound.

VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling) TechnologyTo recreate the richness of sound obtained from analogue audio equipment, VCM technology makes it possible to do precise modeling from the circuit element level to the overall circuit in the world’s best audio equipment.

HiFi Speaker DiaphragmsYamaha uses a newly developed speaker diaphragm materials in all the units of these speakers to give listeners smooth and precise reproduction over the full audible range.

TransAcoustic Piano

TransAcoustic PianoTransAcoustic Piano is a hybrid piano that combines an acoustic piano and a digital piano.

By using a transducer, which is an oscillating mechanism, the vibrations produced by the

digital system are transmitted efficiently to the acoustic piano’s soundboard, and, without

using a speaker system, the sound emerges directly from the soundboard.

Music education programs teaching children how to play musical

instruments have been adopted in schools around the world. However,

due to the lack of equipment and instructors, as well as curriculum

issues, in some countries instrumental music education is not provided,

or is of insufficient quality. Yamaha is developing its “School Project” to

offer opportunities to play musical instruments and allow as many

children as possible to experience the joy of playing musical

instruments.

In 2015, Yamaha began to offer “Music Time,” which is a program

comprising a package that includes musical instruments, teaching

materials and teachers’ training, and is offered mainly to public primary

schools in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Russia.

In Vietnam, in cooperation with that country’s Ministry of Education

and Training, since 2016 Yamaha is taking initiatives to support the

introduction of instrumental music education into music school

curricula for primary and secondary-school education.

In the countries of Latin America, juvenile crime and delinquency

are becoming more serious. Governments are working to provide

music education free of charge, and orchestras and bands have

been formed to promote the healthy development of young people.

Yamaha has supported these activities for many years to allow many

young people to participate. In 2014, Yamaha instituted its “AMIGO

Project” to further strengthen these activities. Under this project,

workshops are held to teach the young performers how to maintain

their instruments in good condition by themselves. Also, to provide

additional support for putting broken instruments back in working

order, Yamaha is helping to train repair technicians. Through these

activities, Yamaha is working to create better environments where

young people are able to continue their music performance.

The Yamaha Group uses a diversity of wood species mainly for

manufacturing musical instruments, and accordingly, is implementing

initiatives aimed at ensuring the sustainability of wood resources.

Beginning in 2015, Yamaha launched a survey of African Blackwood

(Dalbergia melanoxylon), which is a rare wood used in wind

instruments, in the regions of origin in Tanzania. Also, in 2016, with

support from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA),

Yamaha instigated a forest conservation project in collaboration with

local NGOs, which is aimed at combining sustainable community

forestry with planting activities in natural forests. Through these

activities, Yamaha is working to create a business model that can

achieve sustainable development in local communities as well as stable

timber procurement.

The United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) is a

voluntary code of conduct that encourages businesses

worldwide to act as good corporate citizens, by

observing principles in the four general areas of human

rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption,

and promotes business participation in a worldwide

framework that will realize sustainable growth.

Yamaha became a signatory to UNGC in June 2011,

and cooperates actively with Global Compact Network

Japan in such ways as managing subcommittees.

Guided by its Environmental Policy, the Yamaha Group is

working hard to create environmentally friendly products to

contribute to a sustainable society. To support this effort,

Yamaha established the Yamaha Eco-Products Program in

2015, which certifies environmentally friendly products that

meet standards established by the Company.

The Yamaha Eco-Label is attached to products that meet the

Company’s standards. By providing customers with easy-to-

understand information on the environment, the program

aims to assist customers in selecting which products to

purchase.

Example of certified productsAV Receiver “RX-V583”Reason for certification: reduction of network-standby power consumption

Through its business activities, the Yamaha Group

undertakes activities, which we call sustainability

initiatives to contribute to the creation of sustainable

societies.

With our unique expertise and sensibilities gained from

our devotion to sound and music, Yamaha is committed

to contributing to the further development of musical

culture and affluent societies. Along with these activities,

Yamaha believes it is important to address global-

level environmental issues, such as climate change

and maintenance of biodiversity as well as implement

initiatives to addressing social issues, including promotion

of diversity and human rights.

As a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact

(UNGC), Yamaha observes the Compact’s Ten Principles

of corporate behavior and, at the same time, aims

to contribute to the attainment of the Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs) that have been set as common

objectives for international society.

Looking ahead, as business activities become more global

in scope, Yamaha will endeavor to raise awareness of

responsibility to society and social contribution within

the Yamaha Group as a whole and will take initiatives to

address issues related to realizing sustainable societies.

In 1955, Yamaha’s motorcycle division was split off from Yamaha (called Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd., at that time), thus giving birth to a new company. Although both companies are independent in terms of management, they share the goals of helping to enrich people’s lives and contribute to the community and culture through sharing passion and performance with and offering new excitement to customers. To realize the missions of the Yamaha brand, the main business of Yamaha Corporation is sound and music and the principal business of Yamaha Motor is providing personal mobility. Each company is working to responsibly create shared value with its stakeholders.
