OMRON Joins Responsible Business Alliance (RBA)

• January 24, 2024

OMRON Corporation (HQ: Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto; President and CEO: Junta Tsujinaga) is pleased to announce that it has become a member of the Responsible Business Alliance (HQ: State of Virginia, USA; hereinafter referred to as “RBA”), the world’s largest industry coalition dedicated to responsible business conduct in global supply chains.
As a member of the RBA, OMRON fully supports the vision and goals of the RBA, as shown below. OMRON also commits to progressively align its own operations with the provisions of the RBA Code of Conduct and to support and encourage its own first-tier suppliers to do the same.

RBA’s Vision and Mission

Vision: A coalition of companies driving sustainable value for workers, the environment and business throughout the global supply chain.

Mission: Members, suppliers and stakeholders collaborate to improve working and environmental conditions and business performance through leading standards and practices.

OMRON’s Shaping the Future 2030 long-term vision identifies “respecting human rights in the value chain” as one of the company’s material sustainability issues, and the OMRON Human Rights Policy has been established in order to realize this ideal. As part of its corporate social responsibility, OMRON is working to exercise a positive influence on respect for the human rights not only of its own employees but of all workers in the value chain. OMRON has already been incorporating RBA standards into its own sustainability initiatives in various ways, such as referring to the management system set forth in the RBA Code of Conduct when establishing internal rules and a labor management system for its own sites, and ensuring that RBA standards are reflected in the Supplier Code of Conduct set forth in the Sustainable Procurement Guidelines, which OMRON suppliers are required to uphold.

As a member of the RBA, OMRON will advance these initiatives for social responsibility in the value chain, with a view to building more robust global supply chains and striving for the sustainable development of society and the sustainable growth of OMRON.
