A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE New Value through Technology

Since YANMAR’s founding more than 100 years ago, our company has been driven by a pioneering spirit for world-leading technology. Today, this technology continues to be a core focus, allowing us to utilize and transform all kinds of energy resources into power that can be harnessed for highly efficient human convenience.

Using our ever advancing technology, YANMAR continuously strives to exceed customer expectations and deliver exceptional lifetime value by integrating our products, services and knowledge into superior quality, comprehensive solutions.

Food and energy are two needs of increasing importance for which YANMAR is committed to providing optimal solutions to our customers. We gather knowledge and insights from a variety of resources, research institutes and corporations to develop innovations aimed at creating a global sustainable society.

Sustainable prosperity for all and, A Sustainable natural environment. YANMAR will pursue these two “sustainables” to the next level, towards a new era of prosperity in the coming century.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Yanmar aims to realize “A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE –New Value through Technologyー” to achieve four societal goals. These include:
Vision 1. Developing an energy-saving society through efficient and affordable engine technologies.
Vision 2. Promoting a peaceful environment for living and working by reducing workload and improving productivity with automated technologies.
Vision 3. Ensuring food safety and abundance by providing comprehensive solutions for the entire food value chains.
Vision 4. Enriching life experiences.
In addressing these needs of society, Yanmar is committed to nurturing a society where both humanity and nature can thrive together.

To achieve these goals, Yanmar employs three main pillars. The primary focus is on providing comprehensive solutions and services, utilizing core technologies, that go beyond just products. The second pillar involves developing the next generation by offering educational opportunities, skill development, and support for personal growth. Lastly, the third pillar is about fostering culture through a commitment to corporate citizenship, which includes engaging in sports initiatives and various community service activities.

At the core of Yanmar's values is the concept of "HANASAKA", a Japanese word that translates as “to make flowers bloom”. For Yanmar, HANASAKA embodies the idea of "letting the people and the future bloom." This concept, which symbolizes the nurturing of human potential, originated in the thinking of Yanmar's founder, Magokichi Yamaoka. Magokichi developed a compact engine to ease farm work, thereby freeing a generation from back-breaking labor and driving prosperity – an early example of HANASAKA. It drives the company's commitment to innovation and societal contributions, all powered by the dedication of Yanmar's employees, who embody the spirit of HANASAKA. This value is fundamental to Yanmar and is reflected in the company's initiatives to develop the next generation, foster culture, and support sporting activities.

As part of Yanmar's commitment to A Sustainable Future, we have also launched the initiative YANMAR GREEN CHALLENGE 2050, aiming to become a zero-impact company with no greenhouse gas emissions.

The diagram shows each business activity, the four societies in the FUTURE VISION and A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE built up in sequence on the foundation of HANASAKA.
