“Partnership Building Declaration”
By promoting collaboration and co-existence and co-prosperity with our supply chain business partners and businesses that aim to create value, we In order to build new partnership, we declare that we will focus on the following items. 1. Coexistence and co-prosperity across the entire supply chain and new collaboration that transcends scale and affiliated companies Increase added value throughout the supply chain by reaching out to other business partners through direct business partners. In addition to these efforts, we aim to build coexistence and mutual prosperity with our business partners through collaboration that transcends existing business relationships and corporate size. At that time, from the perspective of business continuity in the event of a disaster and work style reform, we will encourage our business partners to introduce telework and formulate a BCP (Business Continuity Plan). We will also provide support such as advice. In order to improve the productivity of the entire supply chain by sharing information and digitizing operations using IT, etc. We will deepen cooperation with our business partners and provide necessary support. 2. Compliance with "promotion standards" Comply with desirable trade practices between parent businesses and subcontractors (“promotion standards” based on the Subcontracting Small and Medium Enterprises Promotion Act), We will actively work to correct trade practices and business practices that impede the building of partnerships with business partners. ① Price determination method We will not make unreasonable requests for cost reductions. When determining transaction consideration, we hold regular discussions with subcontractors, and We will conduct thorough discussions to include appropriate profits for subcontractors, including taking into account the impact of increases in labor costs based on publicly available materials. When concluding a contract, including determining the transaction consideration, the parent business entity will clearly state and issue the terms of the contract in writing. ② Cost burden such as mold management We conduct mold transactions based on contract templates, promote the disposal of unnecessary molds, and reduce storage costs for molds that need to be stored. We will reach an agreement after thorough consultation with the subcontractor. ③ Payment terms for bills, etc. Subcontract fees to businesses covered by the Subcontract Act are paid in cash. 4 Intellectual property/know-how Concluding non-disclosure agreements where only one party is obligated, disclosing know-how by taking advantage of the transactional position, and protecting intellectual property rights. We do not ask for free transfer. ⑤ Wrinkling due to work style reform, etc. In order to enable business partners to respond to work style reforms, we ask subcontractors to place orders with short delivery times without incurring appropriate costs, and to respond to sudden orders. No changes will be made to the specifications. In the event of a disaster, etc., we will not impose a unilateral burden on subcontractors in terms of transactions, and When business resumes, etc., we will give consideration to the continuation of business relationships as much as possible. |
