SocietyCSR Procurement
Fujikura Kasei is committed to addressing human rights, environmental issues, and compliance throughout its supply chain as its social responsibility. By surveying and ensuring proper management of these issues along the entire supply chain, we aim to achieve sustainable procurement.
Basic Procurement Policy
- Fairness and Impartiality
We adhere to the principle of fair and impartial competition, providing entry opportunities to reputable suppliers seeking to engage in business with us. Prior to entering into any transactions, we conduct an objective evaluation based on factors such as price, quality, delivery schedules, stable supply capability, technical expertise, and reliability to select our suppliers. Moreover, we perform similar evaluations on a regular basis even after the commencement of our business relationship. - Cooperative Relationships Based on Mutual Trust
We collaborate with our suppliers by upholding the principles of good faith and sincerity, and we strive to build mutually beneficial relationships based on the concept of coexistence and shared prosperity. In addition, any confidential information acquired through our business dealings will not be disclosed to any third party without the supplier’s consent. - Compliance with Relevant Laws and Regulations
In our procurement activities, we strictly adhere to all applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, we are committed to conducting our procurement processes with due consideration for environmental issues as well as occupational safety and health.

Surveys of the status of CSR activities by our business partners
In light of the growing importance of corporate social responsibility, we surveyed our business partners’ initiatives, continuing from the previous year.
We requested our business partners to review our various policies to further their understanding of our CSR activities. These policies included our sustainability basic policy, the Fujikura Kasei code of conduct, human rights policy, occupational health and safety policy, environmental policy, energy conservation policy, fair trade and ethics policy, quality policy, chemical substance management policy, and information security policy. We also requested them to self-evaluate the status of their initiatives in the eight areas shown below.
We will provide feedback on the self-evaluations submitted by our business partners regarding their initiatives, requesting improvement in areas where self-evaluation scores are low.
Additionally, we will continue to survey the status of these initiatives and work towards enhancing CSR across the entire supply chain.
