Message from CEO Hisao Sakuta
I assumed the position of Chief Executive Officer and
Representative Director in June 2003. I would like to take this
opportunity to explain my management stance and the
direction in which I will guide the Omron Group.
Today, the times are becoming more and more volatile. Yet
even in these circumstances, I believe Omron has the potential
to survive and develop into the next generation by further
extending the entrepreneurial spirit and the philosophy of
cultivating social needs that have characterized Omron since
its founding.
I will listen to the opinions of our shareholders and all of our
stakeholders, and diligently and boldly carry out management
with speed. I am committed to maximizing Omron’s corporate
value and leading the Omron Group’s transformation into a
truly global enterprise.

Achieving the Goals of GD2010
In May 2001, Omron began implementation of Grand Design 2010 (GD2010) to establish the
direction of the Omron Group over the next ten years. We also set the goal of achieving ROE of 10
percent by the year ending March 2005, the midway point of GD2010. I intend to maintain GD2010
as Omron’s basic policy and continue executing management to achieve long-term maximization of
the Group’s corporate value.
To do this, we will first complete the establishment of a solid earnings structure and manage
the Omron Group’s operations to ensure the achievement of 10 percent ROE in the year ending
March 2005.
