Sustainability issues identified through decision process, FY2020 goals, and OMRON's initiatives
Fiscal 2022 is the first year of our latest Long-Term Vision SF2030 and medium-term management plan. We will disclose results related to our new targets in fiscal 2023. Here, we have published our sustainability targets and results for FY2021.
In fiscal 2017, OMRON set key sustainable issues based on it sustainability policy, which are made up of two main areas. The first are social issues OMRON should solve through the focus business domains defined in its VG2.0 medium-term management plan. The second are issues that should be addressed by building a strong platform to carry our VG2.0 to meet the expectations of stakeholders. We viewed FY2021 as a period of change, setting single-year targets and pursuing various initiatives in line with the sustainability materialities as described under VG2.0.
