We hold an industrial waste countermeasures committee twice a year to check the amount of industrial waste processed and the separation status of each contractor, and consider ways to reduce the amount of waste processed and improve the separation rate. In addition, we properly screen contractors and conduct on-site inspections when selecting them.

Partnership Building Declaration
Support

Labor practicesConsumer issues

Tanseisha agrees with the spirit of the "Partnership Building Declaration" put forward by the Cabinet Office, the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency and others, and has published the "Partnership Building Declaration" which aims for coexistence and prosperity throughout the entire supply chain and for increasing mutual added value through new collaboration.

Tanseisha Partnership Building Declaration

We declare that we will focus on the following items in order to build new partnerships by promoting collaboration and coexistence and mutual prosperity with our supply chain partners and business operators seeking to create value.

  1. Coexistence and mutual prosperity throughout the supply chain and new collaboration beyond scale and affiliation
    By reaching out to our direct business partners through them (from "Tier N" to "Tier N+1"), we aim to increase added value throughout the supply chain and build a prosperous relationship with our business partners through collaboration that goes beyond existing business relationships and corporate size. In doing so, we will also provide support to our business partners, such as by advising them on the introduction of teleworking and the formulation of BCPs (Business Continuity Plans), from the perspective of business continuity and work style reform in the event of a disaster.
    (Individual item) We will strive to give priority to procurement from companies that are proactively working to Environmental Consideration, such as by providing products and services that have a low environmental impact.
  2. Compliance with the "Promotion Standards"
    We will comply with desirable trade practices between parent companies and subcontractors (the "Promotion Standards" based on the Subcontracting Small and Medium Enterprise Promotion Act) and will actively work to correct trade and business practices that are an obstacle to building partnerships with business partners.
    1. Pricing Methodology
      We will not make unreasonable requests for cost reductions. When determining the price of a transaction, if a subcontractor requests it, we will hold a full discussion to ensure that the subcontractor's profits are fair, taking into account the impact of increases in labor costs. When entering into a contract, including determining the price of a transaction, the parent company will clearly state and provide the contract terms in writing.
    2. Subcontract payment terms
      Subcontractor fees will be paid in cash whenever possible. If payment is made by promissory note, discount fees etc. will not be borne by the subcontractor, and payment terms will be made within 60 days.
    3. Intellectual property and know-how
      We will not require you to enter into a unilateral confidentiality agreement, disclose know-how by taking advantage of our business position, or transfer intellectual property rights free of charge.
    4. The impact of work style reforms, etc.
      In order to help our business partners respond to work style reforms, we will not place short-term orders or make sudden changes to specifications without appropriate cost burdens on our subcontractors. In the event of a disaster, we will not impose unilateral burdens on our subcontractors in terms of transactions, and will give as much consideration as possible to continuing business relationships when business resumes.
  3. Other (optional)
    Tanseisha has worked with partner companies and suppliers to create a safe and comfortable facility environment while taking into consideration compliance with laws and regulations, reducing environmental impact, and respecting human rights. As interest in corporate social responsibility continues to grow, we will further strengthen our partnerships for mutual development and continue to contribute to society as a whole supply chain.
