Yamaha Corporation
Aiming to Become an “Indispensable, Brilliantly Individual Company” We at the Yamaha Group share our corporate philosophy “Sharing Passion & Performance,” and
contribute to the enriched lifestyles of people while focusing our business on sound and music. In
January 2019, we established our new brand promise “Make Waves” that captures that special moment
when our customers’ hearts tremble. With this brand promise as our pledge to our customers, we
committed to further promoting manufacturing that values the customers’ perspective, an approach we
inherited and have followed since our foundation in 1887.
Yamaha has defined its management vision of “Becoming an Indispensable, Brilliantly Individual
Company” that can “Boost brand power to become a highly profitable enterprise” as its future image in
the medium-to-long term. In order to realize this management vision, we outlined our basic strategy to
“develop closer ties with customers and society, and boost value creation capabilities” in our medium-
term management plan “Make Waves 1.0” that encompasses the three-year period from April 2019.
We will continue to merge technologies and sensibility to create new value and to propose lifetime value
for each customer by developing closer ties with our customers.
We at Yamaha Group want to be a company that support the challenges and passion of each and every
one of our customers. We will continue to make every effort to be a company that can meet everyone’s
expectations and to be able to stay with you, and we greatly appreciate your ongoing support.

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 mobility. Each company is working to responsibly create shared value with its stakeholders.

Outside Director Paul Candland
Corporate PhilosophyThe Corporate Philosophy defines the reason for Yamaha’s existence as a company and the goals that we seek to achieve through our work together.
Customer ExperienceThe Customer Experience exemplifies the meaning of “Sharing Passion & Performance” from the customer’s viewpoint. When customers experience, use, or own Yamaha products and services, they should experience a profound response that will stimulate both their emotions and senses.
Yamaha QualityThe Yamaha Quality is a set of criteria that supports Yamaha’s insistence on quality in products and services and our dedication to excellence in manufacturing. These criteria assist in making the Corporate Philosophy a reality.
Yamaha WayThe Yamaha Way explains the mindset that all employees of the Yamaha Group should adopt, and the manner in which they should act on a daily basis, in order to put the Corporate Philosophy into practice.
