SUZUKI CSR Guidelines for Suppliers

Accompanied by the globalization of our business, our stakeholders such as suppliers in particular are becoming multinational and diversifying. As a result of this change in the business environment, companies like us are increasingly expected to fulfill social responsibilities considering culture and history in each country and region, not to mention complying with its laws and regulations.

Responding to these social demands, this time we put together the basic concept and issues to address with our suppliers related to social responsibilities as "CSR Guidelines for Suppliers".

We would like you to understand the main point of these guidelines and promote the activities to fulfill the corporate responsibilities with us.
