Toshiba Group Procurement Policy
The “Toshiba Group Procurement Policy” summarizes our
requirements relating to CSR and Toshiba Group
procurement, and through this we require that our
suppliers give consideration to human rights, labor, health
and safety, and the environment, including green
procurement. In FY2012, we added a request not to use
conflict minerals to the policy and distributed it across
approximately 10,000 suppliers.
Membership in the EICC
In June 2011, we joined the Electronic Industry Citizenship
Coalition (EICC), an organization that promotes CSR in the
electronics industry. We promote CSR in our supply chain in
line with the EICC Code of Conduct.
Partnerships with suppliers
We are striving to build healthy partnerships with our suppliers
through fair trade that complies with laws and regulations on
procurement. In FY2013, we held a briefing on the Toshiba
Group policy on con ict minerals in May and also a brie ng
to explain Toshiba Group’s management and procurement
policies to executives of our 90 major suppliers in July.
Monitoring
In order to strengthen our suppliers’ CSR management, we
hold briefings and monitor the implementation of CSR
initiatives. In FY2013, we conducted a survey targeting some
5,600 companies and requested them to perform self-
checks. In cases where issues were found, we provided
support and guidance on how to make improvements.
Fair trading practices
Toshiba Group provides Clean Partner Line, a system that
allows suppliers to report compliance violations. In the event
of a report, we promptly conduct a survey to con rm facts
and take appropriate measures.
In order that our customers can enjoy our products with comfort, and to ensure observance of CSR in such areas as the
environment, labor and human rights, Toshiba Group promotes CSR initiatives throughout its supply chain. Our efforts
include optimization of the working environment for our suppliers’ employees and reducing environmental impact.
Promoting Supply Chain CSR
Activity Highlight 2
We will continue to ful ll our responsibilities to the wider society by constructing healthy partnerships with our suppliers
and requiring and supporting the promotion of CSR.
