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

Basic Purchasing Policies and CSR Procurement Guidelines

Basic Purchasing Policies

(1) Toray does its best to select suppliers and determine individual purchases fairly and on the basis of economic rationality, with consideration for price, quality, ability to provide stable supplies, technological capabilities, reliability, and other factors.
(2) In selecting suppliers, Toray opens its doors to a wide range of companies inside and outside Japan. Toray does not rely solely on vendors it has existing or past relationships with, or on members of its corporate group.B
(3) In making purchases, Toray complies with relevant laws and regulations while taking environmental preservation and fulfilling corporate social responsibility (CSR) issues into account. Toray actively pursues green procurement and purchasing as part of its environmental efforts.
(4) Toray works to maintain and improve the quality of purchased products through cooperation with its suppliers.
(5) Toray works to uphold its corporate social responsibilities on a company-wide basis.

Basic Purchasing Policies and CSR Procurement Guidelines

Because most of Toray's products are used as materials for our customers' products, customer needs play an important part in guiding our purchases of raw materials, fuels, packaging materials, assembly component materials, and equipment. Toray has adopted a set of Basic Purchasing Policies in order to assure fair transactions based on these customer needs. We have also adopted CSR Procurement Guidelines to encourage business partners (suppliers) to fulfill their social responsibilities in regards to issues such as environmental preservation, legal compliance, and respect for human rights. The CSR Procurement Guidelines address the kind of initiatives that corporations are being called upon to pursue in areas ranging from corporate ethics and risk management to product safety and human rights.

CSR Procurement Guidelines
(1) Establish an internal CSR organization and be committed to CSR
(2) Work to enhance corporate ethics and comply fully with all laws and regulations
(3) Position safety, accident prevention, and environmental preservation as a management priority and practice green procurement and purchasing whenever and wherever possible
(4) Put crisis management systems into place, including capabilities for responding swiftly in unexpected situations, and disclose accurate information
(5) Encourage dialogue and cooperation among all stakeholders
(6) Ensure product safety as a precondition for supplying products
(7) Respect human rights, eliminate discrimination, and improve workplace environments; eschew forced labor, slave labor, child labor, and unjust low-wage labor
(8) Maintain the confidentiality of information and respect others' intellectual property rights
