Green Procurement ‒ Request for Cooperation

When procuring the materials that constitute products and the chemicals that are used in manufacturing processes, we grasp 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”.
ask for your cooperation in our green procurement activities, including environmental surveys and system strengthening.

  minerals (tantalum, tin, gold, tungsten) and their derivatives that are deemed to provide funds for military activities.
