Anritsu Corporation's Basic Rules
for Procurement |
|
Anritsu procures its materials and resources from
suppliers and partners inside and outside Japan, on condition that it
observes relevant laws and establishes long-term relationships in the
spirit of fairness and harmony. To fulfill our social responsibilities
in these situations, Anritsu determined that it is essential to perform
activities through the entire supply
chain involving suppliers and partners. As a result, Anritsu
Corporation revised its Basic Rules for Procurement in January 2006,
adding new items requesting that our suppliers and partners also
consider issues such as human rights. |
|
Basic Rules for Procurement |
|
1. Selection of suppliers and partners
Anritsu keeps the door open to new potential suppliers and partners
inside and outside Japan, in a spirit of fairness and harmony at all
times. Anritsu objectively selects suppliers and partners based on
proper standards, emphasizing characteristics such as quality,
price, delivery schedules and environmental measures.
2. Partnership
Anritsu builds mutually beneficial relationships with all suppliers
and partners through sound business practices.
3. Compliance and secrecy protection
Anritsu conducts business in full compliance with relevant laws, and
does not disclose information acquired through business with
suppliers and partners to any third party without these suppliers'
and partners' prior consent.
4. Activity based on ethical concepts
Personnel involved in procurement keep in mind at all times the
importance of performing assignments fairly, free of personal
interests with suppliers and partners, while maintaining sound
relationships with these parties.
5. Considerations of human rights and labor
Anritsu respects human rights and promotes industrial hygiene,
safety and security, and requests that suppliers and partners
promote these activities as part of the supply chain under their
approval. Anritsu may reconsider relationships with businesses
having problems related to human rights, such as hiring child labor,
racial and sexual discrimination, etc. |
|
|
Communications with Suppliers and
Partners |
|
In planning and organizing technical seminars and components exhibitions
in which suppliers and partners participate, Anritsu Corporation
supports these parties by increasing their opportunities to learn about
new technologies and grow their businesses. Anritsu Group in Japan also
holds information exchange meetings twice a year with these parties to
share information about our purchasing policies, business forecasts and
environment-related activities; survey them using a questionnaire; and
request their proposals for Anritsu to improve quality. These activities
make procurement and supply among Anritsu and those parties smoother and
more efficient, which contributes to building solid, lasting
relationships of trust and reliance. |
