"Corporate audits that transcend organizational barriers are effective for ensuring achievement of corporate-wide targets."
In addition to onsite internal audits based on the ISO 14001 environmental management system and regular external audits by ISO assessors, OMRON's auditing system includes corporate audits carried out by the Head Office environmental department.
In fiscal 2007, corporate audits were conducted for eleven sites in Japan and two sites overseas. Corporate audits emphasize legal/regulatory compliance, measures for reducing environmental pollution risk, and promotion of the Group's environmental action plan, providing an overall review and inspection of the entire Group that transcends organizational barriers.

This year's corporate audit examined our company's environmental performance from a third-party viewpoint. This audit also helped us to extract several issues that we could not discover through our internal audits. We were also able to receive valuable advice regarding methods of disseminating environmental directives and a plan to introduce low-emission vehicles. The auditors also pointed out a partial incompleteness in contract documents used with waste disposal subcontractors, helping us to avoid environmental and legal risks.
