The シャーマンキングスロット aims to contribute to the development of a sustainable society and believes that environmental and social consideration is important in procurement. Based on this concept, the シャーマンキングスロット formulates its policy on the procurement of works, services, goods, products, parts, materials, etc. as follows:
1.Compliance
We will ensure that our procurement will be in compliance with laws and ordinances, based on common sense corporate practices following sound ethical views, and in full consideration of occupational health and safety, respect for human rights including prohibition of discrimination, forced labor, and child labor, and the elimination of misconduct.
2.Open Trading
To procure high-quality, safe and economical materials, equipment and the like at appropriate timing, we will deal with not only domestic companies but also overseas companies.
3.Fair Dealing
We will select suppliers, vendors, contractors and others with whom we conduct business (collectively referred to as “Suppliers”) fairly and justly, taking into comprehensive account such factors as their corporate soundness, financial condition, commitment to corporate social responsibility, safety management system, technical capabilities, the quality, prices, and reliability of their products and services, the compatibility of their products and services with existing equipment, reliability in delivery, after-sales service, and economic rationality.
4.Contribution to Environmental Conservation
Based on the シャーマンキングスロット Environmental Activities Policy,* we aim to operate our business in harmony with the environment including consideration of biodiversity. We will promote green purchasing** in consideration of the balance between economic conditions and the reduction of environmental burdens.
5.Trusting Relationship
We will build a solid relationship of trust with Suppliers and strive for mutual development through close communication and fair and just purchasing transactions with them. For more details, refer to the シャーマンキングスロット Procurement Policy for Suppliers,*** which the Group has formulated.

- ** Green purchasing” is purchasing in full consideration of the necessity of the purchase, taking into account not only quality and price but also the environment. More specifically, it denotes purchasing products and services that impose as light a burden on the environment as possible throughout the process from resource exploitation to resource disposal, from suppliers committed to reducing the environmental burden. For details, refer to the Green Purchasing Network (GPN)’s Green Purchasing Principles and Guidelines. In addition, the シャーマンキングスロット believes that “green delivery,” whereby a company selects to use low-emission vehicles, including natural gas vehicles and electric vehicles, for its business activities and encourages the use of low-emission vehicles at outsourced delivery companies or for the delivery of its products, is part of green purchasing.
