To improve lives and contribute to a better society
We believe a business should create value for society through its key practices.

As Chairman of the Board, I will continue to evolve governance from diverse perspectives, working with internal and external Directors who have a wealth of experience. And by further evolving the oversight functions, we will accelerate the transfer of authority to the executive side and encourage high cycle business operations. In management, I have positioned the OMRON Principles as the origin of both the unifying force and the driving force of OMRON’s development. As Chairman, I will continue this approach while monitoring and supporting the executive team. I will ensure that the Board of Directors meetings are opportunities for sound and constructive discussion. Working together with the executive team, the Board of Directors will strive for sustainable enhancement of corporate value.
