• October 27, 2020

OMRON Corporation has declared its support for A Statement from Business Leaders for Renewed Global Cooperation (hereinafter, the "Statement"), which was put forth by the United Nations Global Compact (hereinafter, "UNGC"), and Chairman Fumio Tateishi signed the Statement on behalf of the company.

The purpose of the Statement is for global business leaders to reaffirm the importance of international cooperation and global governance at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2020, a milestone year marking the United Nation's 75th anniversary and the 20th anniversary of the UNGC.

In 2008, OMRON declared its support for the Ten Principles of the UNGC, which are universally accepted principles advocated by the UN in the areas of human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption. Furthermore, in respect of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, we fulfill the corporate responsibility to respect human rights by creating a human rights due-diligence process to identify, prevent, mitigate, and account for how we address adverse impacts on human rights, in a constant effort to run a business that acts in concert with the international community.

With this endorsement and signing, OMRON's management team has reaffirmed its support for the UNGC Ten Principles and expressed its strong intention to constantly strive to run a business that acts in concert with the international community by, for example, fulfilling its corporate responsibility to respect human rights even during this time of "life withCOVID-19."

Going forward, OMRON will remain committed to balancing the realization of a sustainable society with the sustainable enhancement of enterprise value by initiating its own programs that address human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption, which, it is hoped, will foster business opportunities.
