CORPORATE INFORMATION

Green Procurement

CKD has voluntarily been part of environmental conservation activities for many years. However, the current environmental issues imposed on the planet cannot be solved by the activities of one company. Therefore, based our CKD’s environmental policy, we of the purchasing division have incorporated the “environment” as a new key word that we apply to operations along with the conventional key words of “Quality, Price and Delivery Time.”, At CKD, we conduct eco-friendly activities from the procurement stage via green procurement.

We think it is crucial to cooperate with our business partners and work on comprehensive activities together for environmental conservation efforts to be more efficient. We have defined our fundamental concepts of green procurement as written below. In line with corporate standards, we first procure from business partners who have the higher rate of green procurement. We would appreciate your understanding and cooperation of these activities of CKD.
