OMRON Corporation (HQ: Shimogyo-Ku, Kyoto. President and CEO: Junta Tsujinaga) announced today that it has been awarded the "Gold" rating, the highest recognition under the PRIDE Index* by work with Pride, an Association in Japan that promotes and supports diversity management for LGBTQ+ inclusion. This marks the eighth time the company has received this prestigious award.

* PRIDE index
This index evaluates efforts toward LGBTQ+ and other sexual minorities beyond the frameworks of companies and organizations using five indicators: "Policy," "Representation," "Inspiration," "Development," and "Engagement/Empowerment."

OMRON's human capital strategic vision under SF2030 is rooted in the corporate philosophy of "contributing to a better society," envisioning a workplace where the company and its employees choose each other and grow together. Central to this vision is a strong commitment to diversity that empowers the performance of a wide range of talent. As part of these efforts, OMRON has introduced LGBTQ+ initiatives across three key areas: promoting understanding, developing inclusive systems, and fostering a supportive environment. We believe these sustained and comprehensive actions have been instrumental in achieving this positive evaluation.

OMRON's major initiatives related to sexual minorities, including LGBTQ+ are:

Establishment of human rights committees and hotlines for harassment and diversity issues at all business locations in Japan
Implementation of human rights training for all employees, including the promotion of understanding toward LGBTQ+s
Disseminate information regularly for better understanding of LGBTQ+s
Conducting training for HR, recruitment staff, and managers both inside and outside the company to promote understanding of LGBTQ+
Program revisions for inclusion of same-sex partners in the definition of a spouse in human resource, programs, human resource rules, and welfare programs (Implemented in March 2019)
Revision of HR and benefit programs to include common-law marriage in the definition of family (in force since April 2021)
Sponsorship of activities by external LGBTQ+ related organizations

OMRON strives to become a corporate group that encourages a diverse assembly of people with varied thoughts and value perceptions to fully demonstrate their capabilities and bring out their unique potential. This goal aligns with the group's corporate philosophy: "Respect for All" under its mission: to improve lives and contribute to a better society through its businesses.
OMRON will continue contributing to the creation of a better and sustainable society where individuals and companies grow together by fostering an environment that allows each one of its diverse employees to fully demonstrate their capabilities.
