OMRON recognizes that harmonious coexistence with the environment is a “must” for the OMRON Group’s corporate activities. As such, OMRON considers addressing environmental issues to be its corporate responsibility and thus is an important management objective for the Group. Based on this awareness, OMRON established the Group’s Environmental Policy in 1996. The policy states that while working to lessen the negative impact on the environment arising from its business activities, OMRON will also remain committed to developing and promoting products and technologies that help conserve natural resources and the environment. OMRON also aims to implement environmental management practices that enhance both ecology and economy. To build a solid base for environmental management, OMRON will provide all employees with environmental education and awareness-raising opportunities in order to encourage an ecological mindset

Environmental Policy

In 2002, OMRON established “Green OMRON 21,” an environmental vision that determines the direction of OMRON’s environmental management as a “21st century company,” and an action plan that clearly identifies focused activities and targets. “Green OMRON 21” is designed to promote activities in six key areas, namely Eco-Management, Eco-Products, Eco-Factories/ Laboratories/Offices, Eco-Logistics and Eco-Communication, centering on Eco-Mind. This aims at the long-term maximization of OMRON’s corporate value and contributing to the development of a sustainable society. The corporate-wide action plan is shared with all business companies, head office administrative divisions and sites under their control and incorporated into their individual action plans. Each site’s implementation of the action plan is inspected by corporate audits.
