Business partners
With our motto of “maintaining harmonious coexistence” as stated in our founding philosophy, we will work together with our suppliers and business partners under a fair and equitable relationship as we strive to enhance the quality and safety of our products.
For Fair and Equitable Transactions
At the Gunze Group, each business division makes arrangements to ensure that all of its business activities are conducted based on fair and free competition by observing laws and social rules and maintaining high standards of corporate ethics.
Attitude toward Antisocial Forces
The Gunze Group takes a firm stand against antisocial organizations and groups that threaten the public order and security. We will refuse any of their demands, and will not have any interaction whatsoever with them. In particular, we will hold firm on our policy of refusing any demands for money or gifts that infringe upon the Commercial Code, or donations, membership fees, purchase of books or other materials, or provision of information that may result in unjustified benefits. In our relationships with suppliers as well, we have reviewed the Gunze Group Supplier Code of Conduct and updated it to include the provision regarding the elimination of antisocial forces in business contracts with suppliers.
Gunze Group Supplier Code of Conduct
As stipulated in the Gunze Activity Guidelines, the Gunze Group’s basic policy is to comply with fair and internationally accepted rules as we conduct business activities. The Gunze Group Supplier Code of Conduct declares that Gunze expects its suppliers and business partners to accept and uphold the Group’s policies concerning legal and regulatory compliance, development and supply of safe, beneficial products and services, environmental preservation, and respect for human rights, personality, and individuality.
