Formulating the CSR Procurement Guidelines
Recently, we have conducted a risk analysis for the RIKEN KEIKI Group and stakeholders regarding social issues related to CSR procurement.
Based on this analysis, we have formulated CSR Procurement Guidelines to serve as basic policies and standards for CSR procurement.
These Guidelines have been prepared based on the social issues defined by the United Nations Global Compact, and with consideration for our business environment.
Our Production Management Department will take the lead in promoting various activities in line with these Guidelines. We ask for the understanding of our suppliers regarding these Guidelines.
Among others, the provisions of the basic policies are the matters we require our suppliers to comply with as social issues of particular importance to our company.
