Green Procurement is an integral part of NTT DOCOMO's business practices, which means that we seek to enhance sustainability in our procurement activities by selecting materials, parts, and products that are safe and less harmful to the environment.
This is why NTT DOCOMO also takes great interest in how suppliers are addressing environmental issues, and the results of the following two assessments are reflected in the selection of our suppliers. (Please see the Procurement Procedures Manual for further information.)
Assessment of organizational commitment (measures taken by suppliers)
Organizational commitment of a supplier is assessed through the following aspects: whether the company has an environmental policy, how the environmental management system is structured, and how that environmental management system is being operated.
Assessment of products (feasibility)
Each product will be assessed for feasibility in terms of required and requested items.
Guidelines for Green Procurement
These are guidelines for the procurement of environmentally friendly products and materials. NTT DOCOMO needs to procure and purchase products from suppliers to conduct business activities, and the environmental impact of these procured goods have a direct effect on our business activities. Therefore, we evaluate how a supplier is addressing environmental issues as well as the product itself and reflect the results in our procurement.
