CSR Procurement

The Fujifilm Group created the Group Procurement Policy in October 2009 and evolved CSR-compatible procurement processes by adding social issue-related check points, such as corporate ethics, compliance, human rights, occupational health and safety, and social contribution activities, to the check points for corporate environmental assessment used in our green procurement procedures which were introduced in 2000.

In 2010, we asked 36 vendors to complete an online survey for self-checking CSR compatibility. It is our intention that by responding to the survey, vendors will deepen their understanding of our approach to CSR. Based on the survey results, we send an assessment report that points out each vendor's risks and issues to be improved, and request the vendors to improve certain aspects while maintaining others. In this way, we reduce CSR-related risks and raise the level of CSR management for the entire supply chain. To promote fair and open procurement for the entire supply chain, we will continue to reexamine the questions on the survey and increase the number of respondents.

The term “procurement” in this policy refers to not only procurement of parts and materials used in products, but also procurement of indirect materials and various other transactions including the purchase of services for maintaining and managing equipment.
