Setting up the Better Corporate Citizenship Department for management of the OMRON Group's community involvement

OMRON has set forth its Basic Policy for Community Involvement and Social Contributions (Corporate Citizenship) by upgrading its conventional Corporate Citizenship Declaration as part of the OMRON Group CSR Practice Guidelines. Guided by this policy, OMRON promotes community involvement and other social contribution activities both directly and indirectly.

Direct contributions include donations as well as participation in and support for the activities of NPOs, all of which draw on OMRON's distinctive strengths. For example, to help disabled persons gain independence and become more actively involved with society, OMRON provides donations to the Taiyo-no-Ie (Japan Sun Industries), an organization dedicated to creating work opportunities for persons with disabilities, while also cosponsoring a wheelchair marathon, long-distance wheelchair relay race and other sporting events for disabled people.

Indirect contributions are made by providing employees with information on volunteer activities. For example, OMRON introduces various volunteer opportunities, such as donations to the NGO Foster Plan, and opportunities to volunteer in the knitting charity project, KIDS project and various other activities. In addition to individual employees' participation, OMRON designates the scope of volunteer efforts as group-wide, multiple-site or site-specific according to the theme of the activity, as the company pursues effectiveness in its contributions.

OMRON also aims to boost synergies between direct and indirect contributions, for example by inviting and encouraging employees to participate as volunteers in Japan Sun Industries' summer festival or sporting events for disabled persons, all of which are part of direct contributions promoted at the corporate level.

The Better Corporate Citizenship Department in the OMRON Head Office is tasked with planning, promoting and managing the social contributions and community involvement activities of the OMRON Group.

Community Involvement and Social Contributions (Corporate Citizenship)

BASIC POLICY

As a responsible corporate citizen, the OMRON Group will actively promote community involvement and other social contribution activities. When engaging in community activities, the OMRON Group selects themes of activities that suit the culture, social climate or issues of respective countries or regions and are aligned with the OMRON Group's values, resources (financial and human resources, products, facilities, etc.), and expertise (technology, know-how, etc.). Based on this, the Group aims to take the best action available, such as collaboration with communities and related organizations (NGO, NPO and other concerned organizations). The OMRON Group also works to encourage and support employees to individually take part in community involvement and other social contribution activities on their own initiative.
