About OMRON's Efforts Against Climate Change

With the understanding that to fulfill our corporate responsibility to fight climate change, one of the most urgent global issues, is to realize Our Mission, "To improve lives and contribute to a better society," which is part of the OMRON Principles, we have identified "sustainability issues and goals (non-financial goals)" in the medium-term management plan "VG2.0" (from 2017 to 2020) and are taking concrete measures on a global basis. In July 2018, we set new medium- and long-term environmental targets under OMRON Carbon Zero and have since been working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by fiscal 2050.
