Sustainable Procurement
Following the growing social demand for adequate supply chain management, the Kuraray Group revised its CSR Procurement Policy and began requesting the cooperation of some business partners in Japan to comply with the policy in 2019. Under “PASSION 2026” we will extend the scope of this activity to business partners, including overseas partners, representing 80% of the Group’s total purchase amount (90% of the purchase amount for raw materials, secondary materials and products).
Our actions will be guided by a series of sustainable procurement programs, including:
- Request for compliance with the Kuraray Group CSR Procurement Policy
- Survey of compliance with CSR procurement policy through questionnaires
- Discussion through the feedback of questionnaire results
- Request for improvement plans of the items not fully complied
- Support to implement the improvement plans as needed
- Confirm the improvement status through audits
