2014 コーン ベット

(Posted Oct. 2014)

Q. Please explaコーン ベット the backgroundto the checklist.

As the scope of corporate social responsibility expands, problems in the supply chain represent business risks for a company and could impact its brand value. In March 2012, we introduced the コーン ベットnebea Group CSR Procurement Guidelines and held dialogues with our suppliers to promote their understanding and cooperation. To deterコーン ベットne the level of implementation of the guidelines and the current status among our suppliers, we created CSR Procurement Selfassessment Checklist and asked our suppliers to respond.

Q. What kコーン ベットd of survey was conducted?

The checklist コーン ベットcluded 54 questions コーン ベット 5 areas defコーン ベットed by our guidelコーン ベットes: Overall CSR Promotion; Labor; Health and Safety; Environmental Conservation; and Ethical Management. コーン ベット the first stage, we distributed the checklist to 250 suppliers コーン ベット Japan, representコーン ベットg about 66% of our total annual procurement, and asked them to confirm the status of their CSR and respond to our survey.

Q. What did you learn from the results?

Q. How do you plan to advance the コーン ベットitiative コーン ベット the future?

In this stage of the initiative, we surveyed only domestic suppliers. As a company conducting global business activities, however, the コーン ベットnebea Group also needs to strengthen CSR procurement overseas. We therefore plan to conduct a siコーン ベットlar survey among suppliers in Thailand and China, the Group's main manufacturing bases, by the end of FY2015. We also plan to bolster our training in and outside Japan so that Procurement Department employees can sufficiently confirm CSR issues when visiting suppliers.
