Green Procurement

Nikon Basic Green Procurement Policy

  1. To give priority to the purchase of items produced while taking environmental issues into consideration.
  2. To give priority to suppliers who are proactive in caring for and conserving the environment.

The Nikon Group will procure products based on the "Nikon Basic Green Procurement Policy." In particular, with respect to suppliers, for example, of new products and technology, we wish to develop broad-based relationships with suppliers capable of meeting Nikon requirements. Additionally, it is our wish to implement wide-ranging reinforcement of cooperative relationships with suppliers who meet all of Nikon requirements in terms of QCDE (Quality, Cost, Delivery, Environment), covering such areas as information sharing as well as support for the improvement of technology and environment.

Approach to Chemical Substances in Products

Nikon Group started conducting environmental management system survey and audit for its business partners since 2008 to grasp the status of supplier's environmental conservation and environmental impact substances management that are defined in the Nikon Green Procurement Standards. Based on the both results of the survey and the audit, Nikon Group has certified the business partners which are particularly excellent in the viewpoint as "Nikon Environmental Partners".
Also, Nikon Group has carried out a survey on SVHC(Substances of very High Concern)as listed on REACH(Europe's REACH Regulations)contained in products for our business partners from 2008.
