To further improve quality and reduce costs, the ANA Group is working to standardize and unify procurement procedures within the Group. In an effort to promote rational procurement through multiple-company tenders, we receive diverse proposals through fair and impartial means in order to develop better services and products. In the selection of services and products, our procurement takes into consideration recycling and the active use of environmentally friendly products. Following adoption, we use questionnaires to check the status of our business partners’ initiatives with respect to compliance and the environment. To further optimize the entire ANA Group’s purchasing procedures, we will strengthen cost competitiveness and compliance in purchasing and transactions, while conducting a fundamental review of the structure, methods and scope of our procurement. Moreover, we are preparing CSR guidelines for the supply chain and are making arrangements to further promote CSR activities together with business partners.
