Basic Purchasing ConceptBasic Purchasing Concept

Purchasing activities are conducted in accordance with the following Basic Purchasing Concept.

1. Fair and impartial transactions

When conducting purchase transactions, we clarify the transaction conditions, and evaluate the price, quality, delivery dates, and other conditions fairly and rationally before determining a supplier.
We obtain only the information that is required from the supplier related to the purchasing activity. Information obtained in the course of business will be properly managed and will not be disclosed or leaked to third parties without permission, nor will it be used for purposes other than those for which it was obtained or used improperly.

We will comply with the Antitrust Law, Proper Transactions Act, Construction Business Act, and other relevant laws and will not abuse our dominant bargaining position, etc. to the detriment of our suppliers or contractors.
We will not use any others’ intellectual property rights without proper authorization and will not act to infringe on intellectual property rights through unauthorized use.
We do not have personal interests in our suppliers.
We will not give or receive entertainment, gifts, money, or other economic benefits to/from our customers, suppliers, contractors, and other business partners with the aim of securing or keeping undue gains or preferential treatment.

We will work to build and maintain trusting relationships with our suppliers, and aim for relationships of coexistence and co-prosperity through mutual cooperation.
We are interested in our suppliers’ efforts to comply with laws and regulations, protect the environment, respect human rights, ensure occupational health and safety, and perform other social responsibilities, and together we are working to fulfill these responsibilities.
