Planning, Development and Procurement

During the planning & development stages of AMADA Eco Products, we set clear targets for the product's environmental-friendliness to produce products with the industry's top-class environmental performance, by assessing them at each phase of development.

Environmental assessment of products

No.1	Energy-saving during product use
No.2	Emvironmental impact of product use
No.3	Energy-saving during manufacturing
No.4	Hazardous chemical control
No.5	Resource-saving
No.6	Simplified separation/ sorting,/ recycling process
No.7	Streamlined transportation/ packaging
No.8	Providing information

The objective of environmental assessment is to avoid releasing products with a large environmental load, and to achieve this, the product's sustainability throughout its entire lifecycle is assessed using eight broad categories.
These environmental assessments are conducted during the Design Reviews performed at each development step, and the product development can move on to the next level only by passing the standard. AMADA has been implementing this environmental assessment system since 1998.

Green Procurement

The AMADA Group positions "green procurement", procuring materials with low environmental load, as one of its important environmental conservation activities.

To ensure green procurement, we have established the "AMADA Group Green Procurement Guidelines" and are committed to environmental management practices that include our suppliers to provide our customers with environmentally friendly products.

Environmental laws and regulations on chemical substances have become stricter than ever in recent years around the world.
In accordance with the "AMADA Group Green Procurement Guidelines", we will communicate our policies and requirements for the management and reporting of chemical substances contained in products in our supply chain.

As a means of ascertaining the level of compliance with the AMADA Group's requirements, we assess our suppliers using the "Green Procurement" Survey of Suppliers and Procured Goods.
Based on the assessment results, we request suppliers improve their management systems or conduct audits.

These efforts also help us to manage environmental risks and to ensure appropriate management of chemical substances at our suppliers.

Thank you for your cooperation.
