Sustainable Materials Procurement Policy

In procuring materials, we will, on the premise of conducting fair transactions, make selections in good faith based on a fair and comprehensive evaluation of basic evaluation criteria such as quality, price, delivery time, and environmental considerations, as well as sustainability of business activities and attitude toward ongoing improvement.

In conducting transactions, we will comply with social norms and related laws and regulations, and appropriately manage information obtained through such transactions. In addition, we will ensure that confidential information is not leaked.

In conducting transactions, we respect the vision and position of our suppliers as partners in manufacturing, and by building relationships of trust from a medium- to long- term perspective, we aim to strengthen our competitiveness through mutual prosperity with these partners.

In order to ensure the trust of customers and the market by maintaining the quality of procured parts and materials, we will establish a sustainable quality management system in cooperation with our business partners.

In conducting transactions, we will promote material procurement activities that take into consideration health and safety, the working environment, and human rights in the supply chain.

In procuring materials, we will strive, alongside our business partners, to protect the environment in accordance with our environmental policy and promote green procurement activities, including reduction of GHG emissions and harmful chemical substances, in consideration of the global environment.

In preparation for disasters and unforeseen circumstances, we will work with our business partners to establish a BCP system for maintaining employee safety and continuity of corporate activities in the supply chain, and take appropriate measures.
