Since its establishment, OMRON has focused its business operations on making life more convenient and comfortable under the motto, "At work for a better life, a better world for all." OMRON strives to see the society in which we live from a human perspective, and to create new value through the anticipation of social needs. These are central elements of OMRON's DNA.

OMRON also capitalizes on its core competencies in sensing and control to create new value and offer novel solutions for the factories where products are made, the places where people live and work, and the homes and hospitals that keep us safe and healthy.

The business environment is entering an era of radical change. To prepare for this change, OMRON launched a long-term corporate vision, Grand Design 2010 (GD2010), in 2001. In line with the management goal set out in GD2010, the long-term maximization of corporate value, we are currently implementing management practices that assure growth while maintaining sound profits through corporate value management.

At the same time, we recognize that companies are members of society, and therefore must contribute to society's development, and we are working to do this through both our business operations and corporate citizenship activities. To respond appropriately to increasingly sophisticated and diverse customer requirements, we will continue to evolve, to maintain our corporate dynamism and to look at our work from the customer's point of view.
