Green Procurement

In order to supply environmentally-friendly products to society, Sanyo Chemical established its own green procurement standard and started to procure raw materials and resources with low environmental impact. This standard is applied to materials which we procure, e.g. raw materials, containers, packaging materials and resale products.
We judge on not only quality, pricing and supply stability but also the environment when new procurement materials are selected.
