YAMAHA brand in Chile, Commitment with environmental care

On the morning of Tuesday, October 7th, YAMAIMPORT was present at the International Coastal Cleanup Day celebration, an event that has been held since 2011 and is organized by DIRECTEMAR of the Chilean Navy in conjunction with each maritime government.
YAMAHA brand confirms its commitment to caring for the planet, and for this reason, a group of YAMAIMPORT volunteers, along with local distributors and also friends, actively participated in this event, which consisted of garbage collection in the Caleta Portales Beach area of Valparaíso, in CHILE central zone.
The Chilean Navy, which promotes the activity nationwide, is then responsible for sorting, weighing, and managing the recycling.
During this cleanup event, we were able to share with clients and important government and navy authorities.
“It was a very enriching experience, since, as a key player in the outboard motor line, our contribution to the environment is important. When we learned about the activity, we didn't hesitate to participate, as it's very important for us to raise awareness about caring for our coasts and the planet we are leaving for future generations,” commented Mr. Aldo Salas, OBM Commercial Manager at Yamaimport, who also actively participated in the event.
The event included the cleanup of 200 beaches throughout Chile, and according to the organizers, the goal is to collect more than 85 tons by 2024. YAMAIMPORT hopes to continue in future actively participating with its partners and distributors.
