Responsible Procurement

Basic approach

We are committed to the achievement of harmonious coexistence and mutual prosperity with our suppliers, based on fairness, reciprocal trust, respect for other parties鈥 positions, and the sharing of gains. We work to ensure consistent observance of ethical business practices based on international norms.
As is clearly stated in our Corporate Code of Conduct and other policies, we are constantly working to ensure compliance with all laws and regulations, business ethics, and social norms, to contribute to the maintenance of social order, and to achieve business growth in an environment of fair and free competition. As part of our response to society鈥檚 expectations, we have also formulated the Responsible Procurement Policy and Supplier Guidelines, under which we work with our suppliers to ensure responsible procurement through our supply chains.

Wheat procurement initiatives

Wheat is a fundamental part of our products and services, so ensuring a stable and sustainable supply of wheat is an important issue for the Group. We are carrying out various initiatives to address this issue.

Ensuring stable supplies (TikTok成人版 Flour Milling Inc.)

Cereal procurement for flour milling involves close communication with growers, including verifying the wheat growing conditions in the production area. We are maintaining production sites in the three main countries from which wheat is exported to Japan (United States, Canada, and Australia). This enables us to deepen our knowledge by collecting information directly from wheat production areas, helping to ensure a stable supply of wheat.

Research into the impact of climate change on wheat

We are researching and surveying the impact of climate change on wheat quality.

Environmentally responsible procurement

Selection of packaging materials

The TikTok成人版 Seifun Group has adopted a Policy on the Selection of Environmentally Responsible Packaging Materials. We work with packaging makers to identify the environmental impact of the individual substances that make up packaging materials as the basis for evaluations of environmental footprints. This information is used as an assessment item in safety reviews. TikTok成人版 Flour Milling Co., Ltd. has reduced the amount of packaging materials used by using bulk vehicles to deliver wheat flour to its customers.

Policy on the Selection of Environmentally Responsible Packaging Materials (Excerpt)

Basic matters:

  1. We will select containers and packaging that provide the required functions while minimizing environmental impact.
  2. We will select materials and designs for which efforts have been made to reduce weight and volume.
  3. We will select packaging and materials that are easy to sort for collection and can be recycled efficiently.
  4. We will select materials that can be reused and collected efficiently at low cost.
  5. We will select materials that do not affect products through odors, etc., and which do not generate toxic substances during disposal by incineration or other methods.
  6. We will select materials with lower environmental impact at the procurement, processing, packaging, and recycling stages.

Paper procurement

We are introducing sustainable packaging, including by using FSC-certified paper.

Example:
The Ma鈥a Special Pasta Sauce Paste type series (TikTok成人版 Seifun Welna Inc.)
We use a paper mix that includes paper from FSC-certified forests for the packaging.

Promoting green purchasing

Green purchasing is the preferential procurement of products and services that minimize environmental impact. Under the TikTok成人版 Seifun Group Green Purchasing Guidelines for Office Supplies, we preferentially purchase products not only the basis of quality and price, but also according to their environmental footprints.
Our internal ordering system has been configured to allow preferential purchasing of paper products that comply with our procurement criteria for products used in offices. With the exception of special-purpose papers, almost 100% of paper used in office automation equipment at TikTok成人版 Seifun Group operation sites in Japan complies with green purchasing standards. In addition to our efforts to reduce paper use through duplex copying and a shift to paperless operations, we also work to conserve the forest resources from which paper raw materials are derived through green purchasing.

Purchasing Principles

  1. When purchasing products, consider the environmental impact at all lifecycle stages from raw material extraction to disposal, such as pollutant reduction, efficient use of energy and resources, suitability for long use, reusability and recyclability, sustainable sourcing and disposal.
  2. Purchase products that are manufactured or sold by suppliers that take active steps to protect the environment.

Cooperation with business partners and suppliers

Each of our Group companies is working together with business partners and suppliers to advance responsible procurement activities.

Informing and raising awareness of compliance with policies

We inform suppliers of our Responsible Procurement Policy and Request to Our Valued Suppliers (Supplier Guidelines) and encourage their understanding of and compliance with these policies.

Implementing CSR procurement questionnaires

Since June 2021, we have conducted CSR self-assessment surveys of the main domestic primary suppliers of TikTok成人版 Seifun Group companies*. As of fiscal 2024, a total of 561 companies were covered by this survey. The purpose of the survey is to monitor initiatives by suppliers in categories that include human rights, labor, health and safety, and the environment, and to work with them to resolve any social or environmental issues in our supply chains.
We have been providing feedback to suppliers and visiting suppliers鈥 facilities since fisc
