 Together with Business Associates
To our business associates, procurement departments are windows into the company. We must constantly be wary of buyer’s logic, or the logic of a party in a stronger position. To consistently engage in fair purchasing activities, we have adopted the following rationale: “Purchasing is the face of the company. Always be fair. Let’s become a reliable and valuable Purchasing Group with gratitude toward others, humbly reflecting on our behaviors and giving our best efforts at all the times”

Supplier Selection Policy
Kyocera adheres to the Supplier Selection Policy outlined below. If a new supplier seeks to conduct business with Kyocera, that prospective supplier is asked to provide a report giving a general overview of the company, and to complete a questionnaire about Environment-Related Activities.
The supplier is assessed and then selected or denied based on these materials and various findings as established in the Supplier Selection Policy. Similarly, established suppliers are periodically surveyed, assessed and reviewed.

Supplier Selection Policy

· Whether the fundamental thinking of the Kyocera Group is understood.
· Whether the thinking of the business operator and the management rationale of the prospective supplier are acceptable to Kyocera.
· Whether the company aims to improve management ability, technological strength and manufacturing ability; and whether business management is appropriate and stable in terms of scale and finances.
(e.g.: VA/VE* proposal strength)
· Whether the company excels in such areas as quality, price, delivery time, service response, etc.
(e.g.: ISO 9000 series or equivalent quality management systems; lead-time reduction activity)
· Whether the company is seriously involved in global environmental conservation activity.
(e.g.: ISO 14001 certification)

* VA: Value Analysis
VE: Value Engineering

Supplier Seminars
Each year, business associates are invited to supplier seminars at Kyocera. The purpose is to give suppliers a better understanding of the Management Direction, business policies and other facets of the Kyocera Group, and to appeal for even greater cooperation in the future.
