roadmap*:
targets & timeline
Scope 1 / 2

Building on our ESG commitments, we are transforming our organization to be aneven more positive contributor to the three social needs where we can have themost impact; including achieving carbon neutrality.
We are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and bringing about adecarbonized society through energy conservation and cleaner power consumption.
We are putting our intentions into actions. Our zero emissions commitment acrossour end-to-end value chain is visualized by the following roadmap:

Fiscal 2024

ZERO carbon emissions
for Scope 2 at all 76 sites in Japan

Fiscal 2024

53% reduction(compared to fiscal 2016**)* All targets are validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative** Fiscal 2016 is used as the reference year. The reductions mentioned are relative to the level of emissions in fiscal 2016.

Fiscal 2030

65% reduction(compared to fiscal 2016**)

OMRON joins EP100
Reinforcing OMRON’s Shaping the Future 2030 commitment to carbon neutrality,
the company recently announced it is joining the EP100*. By becoming a memberof this international corporate initiative, which brings together over 120 energy
smart businesses committed to measuring and reporting on energy efficiency
improvements, OMRON commits to doubling the energy productivity** of its
Industrial Automation and Healthcare businesses by 2040.
OMRON is the first Japanese company in the manufacturing industry and thefourth Japanese company in general to join the EP100 initiative. In doing so, OMRON
will achieve a reduction in energy consumption, while simultaneously boosting
economic growth, in line with our long-term vision; ‘Shaping the Future 2030’.

*	
An international corporate initiative in which companies with the goal of doubling the energy productivity of theiroperations (e.g., improving energy efficiency by 50%) participate. Abbreviation of “100% Energy Productivity,”
meaning doubling the energy efficiency (Energy Productivity) of a business.
**	Ratio of economic productivity to energy consumption. It is an indicator for Scope 1 and 2 of the company’sbusiness locations, with absolute energy consumption in the denominator and sales and value-added in the
numerator, aiming to achieve both energy consumption reduction and economic growth.

Definitions:
Carbon neutral: limiting carbon dioxide emissions as much as possible
while any residual emissions are re-absorbed from the atmosphere.
Zero carbon emissions: no carbon dioxide emissions produced at all.
Zero emissions: no greenhouse gas emissions of any kind produced at all.
Decarbonization: removing all carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in theatmosphere accrued due to human activity.
Greenhouse gases (GHG): gases that trap heat in the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most common greenhouse gas, followedby methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and fluorinated gases.
