Furukawa Electric Group CSR Procurement Guidelines

Furukawa Electric Group believes that it is important to address corporate social responsibility (CSR) throughout the supply chain, including suppliers, in order to achieve sustainable business development.

In working together with our partners to promote CSR, we have compiled our basic ideas into the Furukawa Electric Group CSR Procurement Guidelines.

In August 2024, we revised the Furukawa Electric Group CSR Procurement Guidelines to the 4th Edition in order to promote activities and respond to changes in social requirements with reference to the RBA Code of Conduct 8.0, etc.

We would like to ask all of our partners for understanding of the content of the guidelines and cooperation in order to fulfill our social responsibilities as a supply chain.
