The ULVAC group understands that the conservation of the global environment is one of the most important issues facing humanity. While effectively utilizing resources in all aspects of our operations, we take into consideration biodiversity so as to contribute to bringing about a better living environment and a more prosperous society.
Specifically, in the "Preventing enviromental contamination" section of the "Environmental Policy", We manage hazardous chemical substances appropriately to prevent environmental contamination and health hazards. In order to prevent environmental contamination, in addition to carrying out environmentally conscious design at the planning, design and development stages, it is essential to procure materials with less environmental impact at the procurement stage, namely, "green procurement.".
If we intend to provide environmentally sustainable products and services, "green procurement" is essential - that is, procurement of materials that impose less of a burden on the environment. Today, there are increasingly stringent legal regulations regarding environmental initiatives in Europe and elsewhere, and social demands for such initiatives are also increasing. The ULVAC Group views green procurement as an important means of achieving environmental policy. We have therefore established these Green Procurement Standards and will promote environmentally sustainable procurement of supplies.
In recognition of the fact that green procurement is an important responsibility that companies should assume, the ULVAC Group is conducting surveys and assessments of suppliers and procured supplies with regard to environmental impact. Implementing such activities is difficult without the consent of our suppliers. We value collaboration with our suppliers and ask for their understanding and cooperation in promoting further collaboration.
These Green Procurement Standards may be revised in light of future changes in laws, regulations, or social trends.
We revised the Green Procurement Standards in August 2020 and request our suppliers to share information on chemical substances in components used for ULVAC products through the chemSHERPA*.
In FY 2021, we conducted activities with a focus on creating an internal structure, implementing systems, and penetration of the Green Procurement Standards among suppliers.
Since FY 2022, we have established a cross-departmental "Chemical Substance Management Team for Products" within the company to drive the organization and management of information collected from our suppliers.
In FY 2023, we revised the Green Procurement Standards once again to promptly respond to future revisions of environmental regulations concerning materials within the ULVAC Group.
