OMRON Revises "OMRON Biodiversity Policy"

• August 08, 2024

OMRON Corporation (HQ: Shimogyo-Ku, Kyoto. President and CEO: Junta Tsujinaga) announced today that it has revised "OMRON Biodiversity Policy".

Our everyday lives, economy, and well-being are built on biodiversity, which is the foundation of life. However, due to increasing population and growing economic activities, biodiversity is seriously declining. How can we conserve and restore ecosystems? This is a key challenge facing human society.

OMRON established its Biodiversity Policy in 2010 and has been working on "Coexisting with Nature", which is an important environmental issue to address as declared in "OMRON Environmental Policy". To further strengthen this initiative, we endorsed the concept of "the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework" adopted in December 2022, and revised OMRON Biodiversity Policy in July 2024. And in making the revision, we referred to such sources as disclosure recommendations and guidance by the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), a framework for disclosing risks and opportunities related to nature capital.

In the future, guided by the "OMRON Biodiversity Policy", the OMRON Group is dedicated to biodiversity conservation, regarding it as a part of business risk management as well as a growth opportunity. By so doing, OMRON is committed to contributing to creating social and economic values and realizing nature positive*.
