We disclosed our Green Procurement Guideline to suppliers in August 2004, and have promoted initiatives for environmental conservation. In April 2007, we published the revised edition of the guideline (second edition), which requires suppliers to work to obtain external certification of their environmental management systems. SWS will promote procurement preferentially from suppliers that have environmental management systems in place, comply with laws and regulations and control substances of concern. We also set rules on green purchasing of stationery for office use, office supplies and office equipment in 1999, and preferentially buy products with Eco Mark, Energy-Star logo, etc.
