Procurement Initiatives

Basic approach

The Seibu Group aims to fulfill its social responsibilities through its business activities based on the Group Vision, which is the Group's management philosophy and management policy, and the Seibu Group Code of Corporate Ethics, which sets forth the Group's fundamental rules on compliance.
In particular, we created the Seibu Group’s Sustainable Procurement Policy, which stipulate the criteria to be observed by the Seibu Group, and the Seibu Group Supplier Guidelines Request to our suppliers (business partners) , which stipulate the criteria to be understood and cooperated by suppliers.
The Seibu Group is committed to contributing to the realization of a sustainable society throughout the supply chain through with our group companies and business partners.

Activities

In order to provide safer, securer, and more comfortable services and products, the Seibu Group has visited and had dialogue with business partners many times in the past, as we strive for the realization of a sustainable society throughout the supply chain.
Defining business partners with a large transaction amount in the main business of each Group company as especially important business partners, the Seibu Group conducts questionnaire surveys of those business partners to confirm the state of their efforts in line with the Seibu Group Supplier Guidelines.
In FY2023, 182 business partners* responded to the survey, and we confirmed that there were no major problems.
Based on the survey results, we will maintain even closer communication with our business partners and promote cooperation in line with the Seibu Group Supplier Guidelines.
