OMRON Corporation has joined The Valuable 500, a global initiative created to promote disability inclusion in business, in support of its pledge.
The Valuable 500 was launched at the World Economic Forum's Annual Summit in Davos in January 2019. It aims to get leaders of multinational companies to join in the movement to bring about changes in business, society, and economy so that persons with disabilities can play an active role and realize their true potential value.
Ever since the 1972 opening of OMRON Taiyo Co., Ltd., the first welfare factory in Japan that employs persons with disabilities, along with social welfare corporation Japan Sun Industries (Taiyo no ie), OMRON has led Japanese society in promoting employment of workers with untapped talent. In an attempt to create a society where persons with disabilities can work fulfilled, we have since endeavored to create job opportunities and offer more positions for them through various business undertakings. Now, employees with disabilities can be found everywhere within the OMRON Group at Sales, Human Resources, General Affairs, Legal Affairs, Development, and other departments, and of course in our special subsidiary companies of OMRON Taiyo Co., Ltd. and OMRON Kyoto Taiyo Co., Ltd.
True to the spirit of the OMRON Principles, we will leverage our diverse workforce, including those with disabilities, to drive the development of our business and create innovation, thus continuing to contribute to a better and more affluent society where people shine.
