Nikon group is promoting a programme of green procurement, which features a host of activities geared toward reducing the environmental impact of our products.
Green procurement activities can not be achieved without cooperation by business partners. Nikon Group held briefing sessions for its business partners to deepen their understandings about our Green Procurement Standards, and requires them to enter into "Nikon Green Procurement Declaration". We held briefing sessions for the business partners of Nikon Corporation and Nikon Group Companies in Japan and abroad, accelerating to enter into the Agreement with them one by one.
In April 2008, we revised the "Nikon Group Green Purchasing Implementation Guidelines" for certain sorts of office supplies and equipment/machinery to strengthen our green purchasing activities.
Our rate of green purchasing was 95% in the year ended March 2009: 93%, 95%, 95% and 95% of the rate were achieved in the first, second, third and forth quarters, respectively.
The same kinds of activities are also promoted throughout all Nikon Group Companies.
