Green Purchasing

Unifying guidelines as a group

In March 2010, we reviewed the independent initiatives, taken over the past by 12 main Group companies, and newly established the unified AISIN Group Green Procurement Guidelines.

We took steps to promote increased awareness of the content of the guidelines by our direct suppliers through briefings and the distribution of booklets. Through those suppliers, we also called for greater cooperation from indirect suppliers.

Enhancement of suppliers' environmental management systems

To support the development of environmental management systems among suppliers, Aisin Seiki undertakes activities to upgrade these partners’ environmental management capabilities. On top of supplying check sheets and calling for suppliers to perform voluntary inspections, we perform site inspections and provide instruction where needed.

Many suppliers have raised the level of their environmental management through these activities, with 80 suppliers acquiring ISO 14001 certification between October 2003 and March 2010.
