Sustainability-related guidelines
Various guidelines
Supplier Sustainability Guidelines
We, as the Yazaki Group, received growing expectations for businesses to build a sustainable society and to take ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) initiatives, which, in particular, include preventing and addressing issues regarding human rights and labor in the entire supply chain, and conserving and restoring the global environment. In response to such a wide range of societal demands, we have renamed the “Supplier CSR Guidelines” to the “Supplier Sustainability Guidelines” and updated its contents.
The Yazaki Group shall have the common understandings with suppliers toward building a sustainable society through these guidelines and actively promote related initiatives. Then we hope all of us to grow into the corporations needed by society.
We would like our suppliers to understand the purpose of the Guidelines and to cooperate in internally promoting sustainability and extend it to their own suppliers as well.

Green Purchasing Guidelines
A Corporation in Step with the World, A Corporation Needed by Society—this corporate policy has been inherited as the Yazaki Group’s mainstay and has supported all business activities since the company was established.
With a consistent attitude and conduct based on the corporate policy, we have fulfilled our corporate responsibility and mission by pursuing high quality manufacturing and building a system for supplying what is needed and when it is needed anywhere in the world by the optimum route for the optimum cost.
We have also developed our unique corporate management and corporate culture under voluntarism, equality, and reconciliation aiming for a global, multi-cultural company that grows with the world.
The corporate policy has been the common principle that connects the existence and value of the Yazaki Group.
For the realization of a sustainable society, the Paris Agreement as a new international framework for addressing global warming came into effect in 2016, which led to stepping up initiatives on global warming around the globe. The Nagoya Protocol on biodiversity entered into effect in 2014. The World Economic Forum (Davos) has identified environmental risks such as water crises (water risk) and loss of biodiversity as key future risks and global concern for environmental issues has been rising.
Based on the Yazaki Global Environment Charter, we have formulated the Yazaki Environment 5-Year Plan to clarify the roles of divisions and departments. Accordingly, we are not only ensuring compliance with environmental laws and regulations but also carrying out environmental conservation activities, including CO2 emissions reduction and waste reduction, on a global scale. We are also committed to product manufacturing that is environment-friendly at all stages, from product development and design, to production, use, and disposal, and making efforts for the realization of a sustainable society by listening to the voices of people in local communities.
We, the Yazaki Group, recognize that these rapidly changing times provide us and our suppliers with great opportunities to make a big leap forward together. Therefore, we appreciate your cooperation in promoting the activities by involving your suppliers.
We would like to achieve our corporate policy through concerted efforts with all employees and suppliers.
