Kyoto, Japan, March 9, 2022: OMRON Corporation has announced its new long-term vision for fiscal 2030, and the three-year medium-term management plan in a press conference held today. With an objective to strengthen the pace & expanse of worldwide sustainable development, the vision strives to solve more & diverse social issues through OMRON’s Sensing & Control + think technologies, as explained by its President and CEO Yoshihito Yamada.

Named as “Shaping the Future 2030 (SF2030)”, the vision is an extension of the organization’s renowned corporate principles-based management philosophy that underscores OMRON's sincere desire to shape a sustainable society through continuous creation of social as well as corporate value via integration of business growth and sustainability.

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’ and unfold many more diverse & complex social issues, OMRON’s long term vision, SF2030, enumerates the ways to maximise 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 the issues and lead more fulfilling and better lives. This will in turn drive OMRON to 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 responsiveness 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.

Recognizing the imminent transition in the economic systems - from mass consumption & production to pursuit of global sustainability as one of the major transformations in the Autonomous society, Mr Yamada further explains, “The transition will be accompanied with disruptions in the social systems led by many factors such as climate change, aging population, and growing economic disparity among individuals to name just a few. This scenario will give rise to new and complex social issues which will need newer tech-enabled and sustainable solutions. And this is where we aim to enhance our contribution. 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.
