Examples of initiatives
Supplier questionnaire survey
We are conducting a questionnaire survey of our major suppliers to determine the extent to which they are implementing the various policies that we ask them to comply with, the labor, health and safety, environmental conservation, ethics, and management system items of the RBA Code of Conduct, and their business continuity plans (BCPs). In addition, we have started an initiative in which our employees visit manufacturing sites to provide support for improvement.

RBA Code of Conduct seminar
We regularly holds RBA Code of Conduct seminars for suppliers, subcontractors, temporary staffing agencies, and others with whom we do business to deepen their understanding of the RBA Code of Conduct and to ask them to comply with it.
Promoting health and productivity management among suppliers
In order to promote the spread of health management together with our suppliers, we introduce our activities to help you understand our health management and provide archived videos of health awareness seminars we have held.
Enhancing supplier diversity
We support the idea that promoting diversity in the supply chain will deliver new values, perspectives, and possibilities we never had before. We value doing business with companies run by women, sexual minorities, and people with disabilities (diverse suppliers). We will continue to help build a more diverse and inclusive supply chain through this initiative.
