Appropriate management of chemical substances contained in products
In order to comply with domestic and overseas laws and regulations and to meet the demands of our customers, we are working on "appropriate management of chemical substances contained in products" throughout the supply chain. In addition to appropriate management of chemical substances contained in products, we are also holding briefing sessions for the purpose of providing appropriate information to suppliers, managing the latest version of the "Green Procurement Guidelines" of customers, and conducting supplier audits. To achieve this, we are striving to bridge the gap between our customers and our suppliers.
