Procurement Policies

In selecting suppliers, NDK makes efforts to evaluate their involvement in environmental activities, quality, price and capability of quality management, production and technique, considering their involvement in CSR (respect of human rights / involvement in health and safety, environment, ethics / exclusion of antisocial organizations, international terror organizations and armed groups). And NDK purchases materials from the suppliers that promote involvement in environmental activities positively, so that we could fulfill the NDK's Four Core Commitments (Management Guidelines) within the corporate philosophy framework which is "We will continue to take on the challenge of a sustainable future" and "We will continue to refine our world-leading research and technological capabilities".
