Long-term Vision "Shaping the Future 2030"

In light of OMRON’s fundamental purpose and the changes in society toward the year 2030, OMRON launched a new long-term vision, "Shaping the Future 2030 (SF2030)," in fiscal 2022. SF2030 expresses OMRON’s desire for all OMRON employees to put the OMRON Principles into practice as they work together with stakeholders to create a sustainable society by applying OMRON’s core technologies, "Sensing & Control + Think."

SF2030 Vision Statement

We Will Continue to Create "Innovation Driven by Social Needs"
through Automation to Empower People.

Design the near-future, detect and uncover social needs, and create new value through automation.
We call this process "innovation driven by social needs" and have been contributing to a better society by practicing it since our foundation.
Contributing to creation of a social and economic system capable of sustainable development is OMRON’s fundamental purpose.
We will remain true to corporate philosophy management, continuing its practice without change.

Automation in industrial society was the replacement of human work by machines.
What is required in an “autonomous society” is automation that helps people realize their full potential through the optimal combination of replacement, collaboration, and harmonization.
We have defined automation from now on as "automation which empowers people," and will continue to evolve our Sensing & Control + Think technologies to realize this automation.

In the next decade, as existing social issues become more pressing and new ones emerge, we will remain true to our core values and contribute to achievement of carbon neutrality, realization of a digital society, and extension of healthy life expectancies through "automation which empowers people," with the aim of realizing an autonomous society where individual fulfillment is compatible with the society’s affluence.

Social Value to be Created by OMRON

At OMRON, we view the coming decade, in which existing social issues will become more pressing and new ones will arise, as a great opportunity to create new markets and businesses. Under SF2030, in order to seize this opportunity certainly, we have identified three priority change factors: "the aging of population," "climate change," and "increasing economic disparities among individuals." Based on these three change factors, we have identified three social issues that OMRON should address, namely, "achievement of carbon neutrality," "realization of a digital society," and "extension of healthy life expectancies." We selected these three issues in view of their huge impact on society and from the perspective of leveraging OMRON’s strengths in automation, our customer assets, and business assets.

Social Value to be Created by OMRON through Its Domains
Social Issues Domains	Achievement of carbon neutrality	Extension of healthy life expectancies
Industrial Automation	Contribute to the "advancement of manufacturing that will support a sustainable society"
Healthcare Solutions		Contribute to the "achievement of ‘Zero Events’ for cardiovascular diseases"
Social Solutions	Contribute to "the spread and efficient use of renewable energy and the sustainability of the infrastructure supporting a digital society"
Device & Module Solutions	Contribute to the "spread of new energy and high-speed communications"

Addressing Material Sustainability Issues

Under SF2030, our aim is to maximize corporate value by creating social value and economic value through business. To this end, we identified material sustainability issues for the first time under the long-term vision. We will continue to maximize corporate value by integrating business and sustainability to create both social value and economic value.

Value Creation Model

Under SF 1st Stage, leveraging its intangible assets and management capital such as “human resources” and “intellectual capital,” OMRON will continue innovation and creation of products and services through the business creation process based on the OMRON Principles and the SINIC Theory and pursue Material Sustainability Issues, thereby creating social value that contributes to establishment of an autonomous society and leads to sustainable enhancement of corporate value. We will continue to expand and create social value by increasing management capital to create innovation driven by social needs.
