July 2010: Supplier meeting
As a way to realize its corporate vision and basic policy to build interactive partnerships with vendors, the JVC Kenwood Group is working to integrate with vendors and bolster product development with them. We are proactively receiving many types of proposals from our vendors and we aim to keep high-level win-win relationships with vendors by promoting the reformation of procurement practices related to quality, environment, delivery time, and costs. Also, we are developing products in alignment with the vendors’ development of parts based on the JVC Kenwood Group’s development road map.
Green Procurement Guideline
To create a society that can improve and maintain the world’s environment, the JVC Kenwood Group is considering the environment in all aspects of its business activities and continues efforts to reduce the environmental burden during the life cycle of the products it produces and sells.
One method that we think is very important is to place priority on procuring materials and parts that have a small impact on the environment.
Specifically, we revised our “Green procurement guidelines” to version 1.2 and evaluated our green procurement to support REACH*, which is leading a trend to control chemicals internationally. Green procurement evaluations are a self-evaluation of chemical control systems and the conditions under which they are implemented. The evaluations aim to have suppliers establish and maintain systems to control the chemicals in their parts and to continuously make improvements.
The JVC Kenwood Group is promoting “Green procurement” by giving priority to vendors who are working to protect the environment in an integrated way based on the green procurement evaluation for appropriate quality, cost, and stable supply.
