Green procurement ‒ Request for cooperation
When procuring the materials that constitute products and the chemicals that are used in manufacturing processes, we identify the constituents and compositions with a view to promoting “green procurement” and thereby realizing manufacturing with small environmental load.
Moreover, we effectively utilize such information in striving to “convey accurate information to customers” and “conform to environmental regulations such as RoHS and REACH.”
We ask for your cooperation in our green procurement activities, including environmental surveys and system strengthening.
Fair trade
To provide better products and services as a good business partner, relationships of mutual cooperation with our procurement partners are indispensable.
Based on the spirit of fair trade, we conduct transactions under appropriate conditions for materials and products manufactured by developing countries and are committed to responsible mineral procurement.
- Initiatives regarding responsible minerals procurement
- We do not procure minerals that are linked to conflict or human rights violations in conflict-affected and high-risk areas (CAHRAs) for the parts and products we provide. We are working to reduce risk by requesting suppliers to procure from refineries that conform to RMAP and conducting surveys using RMI forms.
