Dialogue between Outside OfficersWe will evolve our corporate governance systems toward achieving further growth in today’s highly unpredictable external environment.Developments such as the global COVID-19 pandemic and the trend toward decarbonization highlight the changes underway in the external environment. In what ways must Yamaha Motor evolve its corporate governance systems to achieve its Long-Term Vision amid these changes? Outside Director Tetsuji Ohashi and Outside Audit & Supervisory Board Member Masatake Yone discussed their thoughts on this topic.Tetsuji OhashiOutside DirectorMasatake YoneOutside Audit & Supervisory Board MemberOverall Assessment of Yamaha Motor’s Corporate GovernanceYone I would like to begin by talking about the discussions we have at meetings of the Board of Directors. As of 2021, I am in my third year as an outside Audit & Supervisory Board member at Yamaha Motor and I feel that every Board meeting sees open and frank discussions. This leads to my belief that Yamaha Motor is fortunate to have such a proactive Board of Directors.Ohashi I agree. Board meetings present an atmosphere in which it is easy for outside officers like myself to voice our opinions and proceedings are highly transparent. When I pose a ques-tion, I often receive an answer on the spot, but there are also occasions in which additional materials are prepared to provide more in-depth explanations during the hiatus before the next meeting. This level of diligence is a clear indicator that the Company is earnest in its reception of our input.The basic role of outside directors is to oversee management and the execution of duties, but I believe that finding ways to push a company forward toward sustainable growth and higher corporate value is another important role. When I served as the president of a company in the past, I remember receiving multifaceted opinions from outside officers on the growth scenarios and strategies formulated by the executive team, and I found them very informative. Similarly, I believe that the per-spective and insight I gained in B2B operations can offer extra benefits to the B2C operations of Yamaha Motor. I therefore intend to continue proactively offering my input to help Yamaha Motor achieve more robust growth and higher corporate value.54Corporate Governance Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.
