Yamaha Motor, a manufacturer in the Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment sector headquartered in Japan, is actively pursuing carbon emission reductions. For fiscal year 2024, the company reported total emissions of approximately 56.8 billion kg CO2e. This figure comprises approximately 133.7 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 240.9 million kg CO2e from Scope 2, and approximately 56.5 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3. The largest contributor to Scope 3 emissions was the use of sold products, accounting for around 53.5 billion kg CO2e, followed by purchased goods and services at approximately 1.9 billion kg CO2e.

Yamaha Motor has established several climate commitments and reduction targets. The company aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, and has also set a target to achieve carbon neutrality in its factories by 2035. Additionally, there is a commitment to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035 across Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.

Intermediate reduction goals are also in place. By fiscal year 2024, Yamaha Motor targeted a 52% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to fiscal year 2010 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Another near-term target aims for an 80% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, compared to 2010 levels. A Scope 3 reduction target aims for a 24% reduction by 2030, compared to 2019 levels, with a focus on the product use phase. Further long-term goals include a 50% reduction of CO2 emissions from products (relative to sales volume) by 2050, compared to 2010 levels for both Scope 1 and Scope 2. The company is also working towards a 90% or more reduction of CO2 emissions from products by users by 2050, compared to 2010 levels.
