Commitment from Senior Management

As an infrastructure company that supports society, the Yamato Group has defined its purpose as enriching society through its business activities.

The Group has set out its vision for 2030, to become a value-creating company that contributes to the realization of a sustainable future, and is executing a medium-term management plan called “Sustainability Transformation 2030 ～1st Stage ～.” The plan aims to enhance the sustainability of both society and the Group by combining economic, environmental, and social values. At the same time as we reinforce the TA-Q-BIN network, the foundation of promoting business structural reforms, we are accelerating the transformation of our business portfolio by turning environmental and social issues into growth engines and creating value through our new business model.

We will create economic value by resolving environmental and social issues as a new green mobility business, based on the knowledge accumulated through our environmental investment and demonstration tests.

We will support the decarbonization of customers’ entire supply chains, leading to new growth and shifting costs into revenue streams through businesses such as Yamato Energy Management Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the procurement and supply of electricity generated via renewable energy sources. This support is also provided by an "EV Lifecycle Service," which comprehensively assists customers from the introduction and operation of electric vehicles (EVs) to energy management.

In our initiatives for sustainability, our Group management foundation, we will strengthen our initiatives for each of our key issues (materiality). In order to enhance corporate value and realize a sustainable society over the medium to long term, we will base these initiatives on our two visions: “Connect. Deliver the future via green logistics” and “Through co-creation and fair business activities, help create a society that ‘Leaves No One Behind’.”

With regard to the environment, in order to realize “net-zero in-house greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2050” and “48% reduction in in-house GHG emissions in 2030 (compared with fiscal 2020),” we will promote key measures that include the introduction of 23,500 EVs and an increase in the usage rate of electricity derived from renewable energy sources to 70%. We will also reduce our in-house (Scope 1 and 2) GHG emissions and work to reduce supply chain (Scope 3) emissions. In addition, we will provide resource recycling solutions and promote green and resilient logistics.

With regard to society, we will continue to respect diverse personnel, aiming to increase their engagement and realize diversity and inclusion. We will also address social issues, such as the problems faced by local communities and changes to individual customer lifestyles, and work to build a sustainable supply chain through suitable relationships with business partners.

We will continue to sincerely listen to the voices of our diverse stakeholders, including customers in our local communities, to contribute to the realization of a sustainable future.
