Omron 2015 Annual Report Download - page 38

Omron takes advantage of a number of opportunities to receive feedback and opinions from shareholders,
customers, and stakeholders at large. We then communicate this information to top management. Our
evolution in ROIC management and revised director compensation are just a few of the ways Omron has
taken this feedback to heart to improve management efficiency and transparency, creating even stronger
relationships of trust.

Cultivating Strong Relationships through
Responsible Engagement
At our last annual shareholders’ meeting, Pres-
ident Yamada reported on the state of our busi-
ness and progress toward our long-term vision.
Shareholders asked questions about Omron
technologies, share prices, the role of women
in our company, and outside directors, receiving
thoughtful answers from our president and exec-
utives on stage.
The Omron Total Fair is an event showcasing the
Omron Group’s technologies, products, and ser-
vices. We greet thousands of customers at every
fair, looking forward to this valuable opportunity to
hear from them directly.

Discussing purchasing policies with suppliers in Japan President Yamada visited an automotive electronics plant in Italy
Each year we invite major suppliers to discuss
our purchasing policies and group business strat-
egies. Suppliers are important strategic partners
in our success. We strive to continually improve
supplier relationships through open and frank
communications.
Omron executives travel hundreds of thousands
of miles every year to meet with employees
around the globe. This kind of in-person commu-
nication is invaluable for creating a shared sense
of purpose and understanding.
Omron takes an active part in our communities, working together with local groups and citizens. The Tateisi Sci-
ence and Technology Foundation, the Kyoto Omron Community Fund, and the Omron Foundation in the United
States are just a few ways that we support the sciences, technological development, and social welfare.
