Assessing and analyzing the use of resources (input) and emissions (output) at the global level
The OMRON Group's business activities impact the environment in various ways, including the use of resources and energy. To reduce the negative impact of its business activities on the environment, OMRON assesses and analyzes resource and energy requirements (input) and emissions such as waste (output) for a product's entire lifespan. This is done at the global level, and the data and findings are used to design countermeasures.

However, Group-wide efforts to promote environmental conservation resulted in improvements in terms of per unit of production values, an indicator of usage efficiency.
