Responsibility to Suppliers

We welcome both domestic and foreign partners with equal opportunities for transactions and select suppliers in accordance with fair and rational standards based on such items as quality, delivery, prices, safety, and the environment.

Environmental initiatives working as one with suppliers
Toward the continuous reduction of environmental load substances, we established the"Green Procurement Guidelines."
Based on the guidelines, we request suppliers to acquire a certificate for environmental management systems and to manage/reduce environmental load substances. We conduct supplier environmental surveys every year and enter transactions with about 300 suppliers that are certified as"eco-partners."
