YANMAR GROUP Green Procurement Guideline August 2011(4th Edition)

Introduction

Environmentally conscious corporations are calling the 21st century the "Century of the Environment" because civilization cannot grow without harmonizing with the natural world. Businesses are strongly urged to point their business activities in a direction that will lead to the formation of a "recycle-oriented socio-economic system".

The Yanmar Group has been conducting and promoting its business activities on the basis of "harmonization between corporate growth and global environmental protection". The mitigation of impact to the environment is strongly emphasized in our manufacturing practices. Environmental considerations are also shown in our business activities as our group action policy is to "develop and supply technologies that contribute to environmental protection" and "show strong consideration for the environment in every stage of Yanmar’s business activities".

Our products are made with parts and materials provided by many suppliers. In view of that, our efforts alone do not suffice towards reducing environmental load across all stages of production; it is absolutely essential that our suppliers from whom we purchase products, parts and materials cooperate in our environmental efforts as well.

Based on this belief and foundation, Yanmar is proactively promoting "green procurement" because it is "important and necessary for environment-friendly production to procure eco-friendly materials of low environmental load". This Guideline summarizes our green procurement standards for our suppliers and our request for the suppliers’ cooperation to further enhance our environmental performance.

We have now released the fourth edition of our "Green Procurement Guideline" with the addition of Prohibited-Use Substances According to Laws and Regulations. Also we revise our "Environmental Vision" for 2020’s assessment. Since the discontinued use of these substances requires the understanding of our suppliers, we want to promote these efforts in concert with them.

We ask for your continued support and cooperation on this important matter.

  4. We actively disseminate environmental preservation information internally and externally to promote the understanding of the need for cooperation in the promotion of efficient environmental preservation activities.
  5. We promote effective measures systematically and on a continuous basis in the following four environmental areas:
    1. Establishing technologies that contribute to environmental preservation and products and services that reduce environmental load
    2. Reducing environmental load in each stage of business operations
    3. Joining forces and cooperating with external parties to contribute to local communities and disseminate environmental information
    4. Raising environmental awareness among employees, internal environmental education, lifestyle innovation, etc.

1.2 Environmental Vision (Excerpt)

We revise our "Environmental Vision" for 2020’s assessment and decided the direction of Yanmar group environmental activities. Order to achieve environmental vision we pursue for reducing the environmental load of products.

2020 Environmental Vision

The Yanmar Group, in full recognition that it does handle products that can impose Environmental Load, undertakes to contribute to the growth of a sustainable society as a pioneer in energy technology.

  1. Measures to Global Warming
    • We contribute to reducing greenhouse gases emissions through energy saving, energy creating and the extensive use of biomass fuels. In addition, we carry out thorough improvements in the efficiency of products that already exist. Through these efforts, we set a target of a 25 % reduction on average in greenhouse gases emissions throughout the product lifecycles in comparison with 1990 levels.
    • We set a target of a 25 % reduction in greenhouse gases emissions from business activities in comparison with 1990 levels.
  2. Contribution to a Resource-Recycle Society.
    • We carry out reductions in the amount of industrial wastes for landfill disposal in business activities.
    • We strive to improve our input rate of recycled resources to whole input resources for our business activities.
    • We carry out environmentally harmonious designs and strive toward improvements in the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) of our products.
  3. Reduction and Management to Environmentally Hazardous Substances.
    • At production sites, we implement reduction in Environmentally Hazardous Substances.
    • Within the supply chain, we manage to Environmentally Hazardous Substances used in products, and offer products and services that conform to the latest laws and regulations on chemicals.
  4. Approaches to Biodiversity
    • We strive toward business activities that are capable of co-existing with nature
    • We contribute to preserving the earth’s eco-system through offering new products and services.
