Supply Chain Management

Basic Approach

At the Alps Logistics Group, we interact with our partner companies (suppliers) in a fair and equal manner and strive to build strong cooperative relationships based on mutual trust and sincerity. Moreover, by engaging in environmental and social activities together with partner companies, we aim to achieve sustainable growth and create a sustainable society. To do so, we have formulated the Alps Logistics Group Responsible Procurement Policy, the Alps Logistics Group Partner Company Action Guidelines, Multi-Stakeholder Policy and Partnership Declaration.

Responsible Procurement Policy

1. Legal Compliance, Openness and Fairness In conducting transactions with partner companies, we will ensure strict compliance with the laws and regulations of the relevant country, as well as respect for local business practices. When selecting business partners, we will conduct fair comparisons and assessments of quality, delivery times and costs, and choose the best partner from a global perspective.
2. Human Rights and Work Environments We will ensure respect for human rights across the entire supply chain in line with international standards for human rights. Furthermore, we will work with partner companies to provide appropriate work environments.
3. Safety Assurance We always strive to put safety first and work to ensure safety. Together with partner companies, we are committed to the promotion of road traffic safety and the creation of a safe work environment.
4. Environmental Responsibility We will promote procurement that contributes to the reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Furthermore, we will promote environmental management and reduction of environmental impact with partner companies.
5. Partnership Based on mutual relationships of trust with partner companies, we will strive to achieve “win-win” relationships.
