CSR GUIDELINE 9 Cooperate with Suppliers in their Environmental and Social Initiatives

Cooperate with suppliers in promoting CSR activities, including environmental consideration, compliance with laws and regulations, and promotion of human rights.

Commitment

It is necessary to approach a company's social responsibility not only within the range of its own corporate operations but also throughout the entire value chain. Consequently, we believe that suppliers' CSR measures, including environmental and social considerations, are important criteria in purchases of raw materials. In the Purchasing & Logistics Division, we see our mission as promoting CSR procurement throughout Toray Group.

Action Program (FY 2006)

Toray Group will implement an internal approval process for CSR partners based on the results of surveys of CSR promotion efforts for procurement and purchasing. We will also encourage suppliers that do not meet our approval standards to improve their CSR programs.

Action Program Results

  1. 1. The Group began registering suppliers whose CSR activities rise to Toray Group standards as CSR Procurement Partners.
  2. 2. Procurement from CSR Procurement Partners during FY 2006 accounted for approximately 90% of total purchases of principal raw materials.
  3. 3. The Group conducted a survey of CSR promotion efforts at suppliers.

Action Program (FY2007)

Toray group will increase ratio of procurement and purchasing from our CSR partners, and make efforts to educate and enhance improvements from suppliers that do not meet our approval standards.
