At Yamaha, we believe that our most fundamental reason for being is to contribute to the enhancement of the quality of life everywhere we do business. Here are three of the most important ways we work to achieve that goal.

| Making Music Around the World: The Yamaha Music Foundation |
|
Since its creation in 1966, the Yamaha Music Foundation has coordinated an enormous range of Yamaha corporate endeavors, all dedicated to nurturing and enhancing the love of music around the world. In addition to our network of Yamaha Music Schools, now operating in more than 40 countries, we sponsor concert series and special events that include Junior Original Concerts and the International Electone Concours/Festival.

| Placing Top Priority on Environmental Issues |
|
Recognizing our relationship with the environment as a vital aspect of our corporate activities, Yamaha is committed to environmental preservation. In 1993, we formulated our Environmental Action Plan, adopting voluntary management standards stricter than legally mandated ones. Our numerous environmental preservation initiatives include the elimination of ozone-depleting substances from our manufacturing processes, the adoption of energy conservation policies, the reduction of waste products, and commercialization of environmentally sound products.
By March 2003, all of our production facilities in Japan and overseas and the majority of our resort facilities had acquired ISO14001 environmental management certification, and we are working to extend this certification throughout our organization.

| Yamaha's Global Commitment |
|
Although Yamaha was "born" in Japan, we are today one of the most cosmopolitan and international companies in our industry, with a network of subsidiaries and joint ventures in some 20 countries in the Americas, Asia, the Pacific and Europe. Our manufacturing facilities are spread over 15 locations in seven different countries. And our products and services are enjoyed by people in virtually every nation and region on the planet.
At Yamaha, we believe that the love of music is shared by all people. In all our activities, we are committed to making the world a better, more enjoyable place to live by enhancing and extending the joys of music to every corner of the globe. That's why our corporate credo is Creating 'Kando' Together.
