Sustainable Procurement

Sustainable procurement is an initiative for companies to preferentially select items with a low environmental footprint when procuring raw materials, parts, materials, services, or other goods from suppliers.
Mitsubishi Cable Industries is implementing the following initiatives.

Internal Control System for Substances Contained in Products

We are strengthening our internal control of environmentally hazardous substances contained in our products with the cooperation of our business partners. We have established "Sustainable Procurement Standards" to help our business partners understand our basic approach to sustainable procurement. By requesting them to obtain ISO14001 certification or develop an Environmental Management System equivalent to it, we are promoting the procurement of raw materials and parts in which environmentally hazardous substances are controlled. Under the Sustainable Procurement Standards, we designate environmentally hazardous substances that are subject to domestic and international laws and regulations as prohibited substances and control them. We revise the Sustainable Procurement Standards according to domestic and international laws and regulations, as well as customer and social requirements.

Regarding the studies of substances contained in the products, information is collected from our business partners based on the above Sustainable Procurement Standards. In order to keep up with the increasing number of chemical substances being subject to examinations, we are conducting our examinations using Article Information Sheets (AIS, MSDSplus) provided by the Joint Article Management Promotion-consortium (JAMP).
