Earth-friendly product information [Green purchasing]
Banned chemical substance management system
We build the banned chemical substance management system based on green purchasing: purchasing materials that pay attention to the environment from vendors that pay attention to the environment.
Using materials that have 2 step approval
STEP1:Approving green vendor
We approve vendors who perform environmental activities and will continue to keep environmental commitment with us.
- Are they environmental conscious?
- Do they keep the commitment that they would not use banned chemical substances?
- Do they control waste properly?
STEP2:Approve raw materials
We confirm the report of chemical substances in raw materials that green vendors supply to us. We would approve these materials after knowing they are not harmful.
- What sort of chemical substances are there and how much do certain materials contain of them?
- Would you report the analysis data for chemical substances in a material?
- Can you replace materials if banned chemical substances are included?
- Not using banned chemical substances
- Recycling waste
- Reducing emission of substances that impact global warming
- Keeping on saving energy
* We ask our vendors to cooperate with this green purchasing activity.
