Partnership with suppliers
Launching product development with suppliers
As a basic policy to build interactive partnerships with suppliers, we are working to integrate with suppliers to bolster product development. We are receiving many types of proposals from our suppliers and we aim to keep win-win relationships with suppliers by promoting the reformation of procurement practices related to quality, environment, delivery time, and costs.
Also, we are developing products in alignment with the supplier’s development of parts based on the JVCKENWOOD Group’s development road map.
Environmental activities
Green procurement guidelines
We are constantly working to reduce the environmental load throughout the life cycle of our products, from production to sales, with an eye on environmental concerns in all business activities. 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 investigated the chemical breakdown of the materials we are procuring and evaluated them based on our “Green procurement guidelines” 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.
Green procurement auditing is done based on these results and tied to the creation of a system to reduce the environmental impact of parts and materials and to establish environmental management systems at suppliers.
* REACH regulations: Registration Evaluation Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals.
Law for controlling chemicals in the EU determined by EC regulation No. 1907/2007.

The JVCKENWOOD Group is working to strengthen ties with its sales partners working as agents and retail companies to deliver appealing products to our many customers throughout the world.
Product promotion meeting in various regions
Whenever new products are released, the JVCKENWOOD Group invites sales partners from around the world to seminars to explain new products and share opinions.
In India, where sales are climbing, the seminar is started with a good luck ceremony, intended to bring good luck to everyone, in which a candle on a golden stand at center stage is lit.
Casual gatherings are held after the seminar to promote good communications where people exchange opinions about the new products.
