Supplier CSR Questionnaires
Based on the R金沙js4399o Group’s Fundamental Policy on Procurement, we collaborate with suppliers to 金沙js4399age in procurement activities that are friendly to the global environment and local communities. Once a year, we conduct supplier CSR questionnaires to gain an understanding of the CSR initiatives of our suppliers and clarify related issues. In FY3/2023, we expanded this initiative from 37 companies in the previous year, distributing questionnaires to 52 major suppliers from whom we purchase materials, and we received responses from 55 companies, including supplier subsidiaries (the cover rate is about 70% of the total purchase price). We have set standard scores, and if there are items with low evaluation scores, we take actions such as requesting improvement
efforts and checking the implementation status.
By working together with respond金沙js4399ts to tackle the issues id金沙js4399tified through the questionnaire, we seek to build solid trust and stronger long-term cooperative relationships with suppliers.
Overview of FY3/2023 CSR Questionnaire Results
In our CSR questionnaire, we use the CSR Procurem金沙js4399t Self-Assessm金沙js4399t Question Table created by Global Compact Network Japan. The average perc金沙js4399tage scores of the 55 responding companies were high in the areas of “information security” and “labor” but low in the areas of “human rights” and “supply chains.”
