Tamron Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Shiro Ajisaka, Headquarters: Saitama City), a manufacturer of optics for diverse applications, announces the formulation of the “Tamron Environmental Vision 2050,” outlining the long-term direction of Tamron’s environmental initiatives toward 2050. Under this vision, we will step up our efforts to build a fulfilling society in which all people can live with vitality, by engaging in activities to achieve three visions: a decarbonized society, a resource recycling society and a society that exists in harmony with nature.
