SUBARU Named as a Supplier Engagement Leader again in 2021, the Highest Rating in the CDP Supplier Engagement Rating
SUBARU has been once again named a Supplier Engagement Leader*1 by international nonprofit organization CDP,*2 receiving the highest rating for the second consecutive year in the organization’s 2021 Supplier Engagement Rating.
The CDP Supplier Engagement Rating evaluates how effectively companies that answer the CDP climate change questionnaire tackle climate change with their suppliers. SUBARU’s supplier selection criteria includes compliance with the SUBARU Supplier CSR Guidelines and SUBARU Green Procurement Guidelines, and suppliers are further required to formulate an environmental management system. Furthermore, we hold Policy Briefings every two quarters in an effort to share with suppliers our medium- to long-term management strategies and our quality, procurement, production, and sales policies. In this way, SUBARU is constantly striving to appropriately communicate with our suppliers and advance efforts to deal with climate change.
SUBARU will continue to promote activities for sustainable procurement, aiming to harmonize people, society, and the environment.
