Based on our Sustainability Basic Policy, we established “NICHINO Group Basic Procurement Policy” in November2021.
Cooperation with business partners is essential to fulfillsocial responsibilities throughout the supply chain. We aim to realize a sustainable society by building good relationships with our business partners, asking them to agree with our Basic Procurement Policy, and putting it into practice together

Activities toward Sustainable Procurement

Procurement Questionnaire Survey In FY2023, we provided information about our Basic Procurement Policy. We also used Global Compact Network Japan’s CSR procurement self-assessment tool (SAQ) to conduct a questionnaire survey for business partners in Japan to confirm the status of their initiatives. The questionnaire survey was distributed to 142 companies, and responses were received from 129 companies (91%). We will continue to work with business partners to implement sustainable procurement activities based on NICHINO Group’s Basic Procurement Policy.

Green Procurement

We have established “NICHINO Group Green Procurement Standards” to commit ourselves to environmentally friendly procurement. The green procurement rate in FY2023 was 99.3%. We will continue to improve our green procurement rate.
