Sustainability Procurement
From FY2021, we conduct the Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) every year with our primary and secondary suppliers of our products manufactured at factories in Japan to confirm the current status and assess risks with regard to human rights and labor, safety and health, environment, and compliance. In FY2022, we also started SAQ for primary and secondary suppliers of products manufactured at the factory in Hisamitsu Indonesia. In the future, we plan to assess the human rights risks of suppliers at other overseas subsidiaries as well.
Halal Certified
Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical operates businesses in Indonesia, Malaysia, and other countries and regions where many Muslims live. To ensure that Muslims can use our products with peace of mind, we have established a Halal team within the Company and are promoting the creation of products that consider religion and the lifestyle of each country and region.
