　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.

2. Compliance with "promotion standards"

We will actively work to correct trade practices and business practices that impede the building of partnerships with business partners.

①    Pricing Methodology
　We will not make unreasonable requests for cost reductions. When determining transaction prices, we will hold consultations with subcontractors at least once a year, and will make decisions through sufficient consultations that include fair profits for subcontractors and enable them to improve their working conditions. In doing so, we will make decisions after appropriately taking the actions set out in the "Guidelines for Price Negotiations for Appropriate Pass-On of Labor Costs." In addition, in the event of a rise in raw material or energy costs, we will aim to pass on the appropriate amount of the cost increase in full. Furthermore, when entering into a contract, including determining transaction prices, we will clearly state and provide the terms of the contract in writing or other documents.

②    Cost burden for mold management, etc.
　The "Basic Concepts and Principles of Type Trading" in the "Report of the Council for Promoting the Fairness of Type Trading" and

We will conduct mold transactions in accordance with the "Memorandum on Handling of Molds," promote the disposal of unnecessary molds, and will not request subcontractors to store molds free of charge.

③    Payment terms for bills, etc.
　Subcontract fees to businesses covered by the Subcontract Act are paid in cash.

4    Intellectual property/know-how
　We conduct transactions based on the "basic principles" and "contract templates" set out in the "Guidelines for Intellectual Property Transactions."

We will not require you to enter into a unilateral confidentiality agreement, disclose know-how by taking advantage of your business position, or transfer intellectual property rights free of charge.

⑤    Wrinkling due to work style reform, etc.
　To help our business partners respond to work style reforms, we will ask our subcontractors to refrain from short-term orders or sudden changes to specifications without incurring appropriate costs.

In the event of a disaster, etc., we will not impose a unilateral burden on subcontractors in transactions, and when business resumes, etc.

We will consider continuing business relationships as much as possible.
