CSR Procurement

Companies have recently assumed greater responsibility for the sustainable development of society. As the Nikon Group deploys its business, the individuals and corporations in our so-called supply chain, including our Procurement Partners, are strongly encouraged to fulfill their social responsibility. Accordingly, we kindly request all of our Procurement Partners to understand our "Nikon Procurement Partners' CSR Guidelines".
