Contributing to the Global Environment through Business Activities
New Environmental Targets (FY2020 Goals)
Our goal here is to remove 80 tons of harmful mercury from the environment as of
the end of fiscal 2020. We intend to do this by replacing mercury-based equipment
with digital thermometers and blood pressure monitors.
Reduced Usage of
Toxic Substances
We intend to further reduce the CO2 emissions of the Omron Group
products and services*1 used by society (environmental contribution). Our
goal is to generate an environmental contribution in excess of our CO2
emissions as of the end of fiscal 2020.
Greater Volume of
Environmental Contribution
Reduce Impact of Business Activities on the Global Environment
Reduce CO2 emissions through efficient electricity usage, improving our net
sales to CO2 emissions at least 30% as of the end of fiscal 2020 (compared
to fiscal 2010).
Prevent Global Warming
Achieve zero emissions*2 at our global production sites, aiming for 98% or
greater recycling as of the end of fiscal 2020.
Use Resources Efficiently
To conserve water, air, and soil, and prevent their pollution, we intend to
reduce the amount of water usage per employee, as well as reduce the
volume and number of chemicals used in our production process.
Co-Existence with Nature
*2 Zero emissions: Completely recycle and reuse waste products of the production process to eliminate the need for external waste disposal.
Note: See P. 17 for more on Omron global net sales to CO2 emissions and environmental contribution for fiscal 2014.
*1 Products and services related to energy conservation, energy creation, and energy storage
When we updated the Omron Principles, we also took the opportunity to revise the Green Omron
2020 environmental policy to better align with our long-term vision (VG2020).
We interpret the phrase
“better society” in Our Mission as our duty to help create an environmentally
sustainable society through our businesses.
