Keeping in sync with the dynamic nature of the socio-economic environment, over the last 89 years of its inception (since 1933), OMRON has been flourishing and sustaining its growth by living up to its vision of contributing towards creation of a better society via solving social issues through industrial automation, healthcare and social systems solutions. Envisioning that the upcoming decade is going to indicate the advent of ‘autonomous society’ [1] and unfold many more diverse & complex social issues, OMRON’s long term vision, SF2030 enumerates the ways to maximize human capabilities through people-oriented automation technologies. This encompasses creation of more harmonious & stronger relationships between humans and machines. The company believes that this harmony is the key to bring out the best in people helping them to solve issues and lead more fulfilling and better lives. This will in turn drive the company create newer corporate and social values enabling it to sustain & strengthen its purpose of existence. “Though we have been able to bolster our profitability, our responsive to change, implementation of sustainability management and our corporate value through reinforced corporate governance and risk management, the socioeconomic system remains dynamic and continues to undergo major changes. We aim to create a strong autonomous growth model and further evolve our corporate management to ensure a sustainable business growth,” says Mr Yoshihito Yamada, President and CEO, OMRON Corporation.

If we do so, we will not only create more social value but will also maximize our corporate value automatically.” The three social issues that OMRON has identified as relevant opportunities and aims to address through its businesses in SF2030 are achievement of carbon neutrality, realization of a digital society, and extension of healthy life expectancies.
