Promotion of CSR Procurement

For active promotion of
CSR activities

Social awareness about CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is increasing year by year. Pioneer Group has already been asking our suppliers for "environmental protection" and "social responsibility" in the "Requests to Our Suppliers." In addition, we have established "Pioneer CSR Procurement Guideline" to specify again what Pioneer Group would very much like our suppliers to work on.
We believe it is essential for Pioneer Group and our suppliers to earnestly engage in CSR activities in order to contribute to the sustainable society-wide development as a member of society.
We would appreciate your understanding of the gist and positive promotion of CSR activities.
