Participating in External Initiatives

In October 2004, Olympus joined the UN Global Compact, agreeing to uphold its 10 principles.
The Global Compact is a voluntary initiative to create a global framework within which companies can contribute to good corporate citizenship and sustainable growth through responsible and creative leadership.
The 10 principles of the Global Compact are incorporated into our Olympus Global Code of Conduct and related policies, and are reflected in our business activities.
Olympus has supported initiatives on climate change as a signatory to the Global Compact’s “Caring for Climate.”
In addition, Olympus has expressed its support for the Global Compact Network Japan’s “Tokyo Principles for Strengthening Anti-Corruption Initiatives” and participates in subcommittee activities by topic.

The Financial Stability Board created the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) to improve and increase reporting of climate-related financial information including risks and opportunities. In April 2021, Olympus announced that it would endorse the final recommendations issued in June 2017 by TCFD.
