Asahi Kasei is promoting CSR procurement and is working to build mutual understanding and trust with its business partners by presenting the "Asahi Kasei Group Supplier Code of Conduct" based on its purchasing policy. The company monitors the CSR status of its business partners and works together to improve through feedback and meetings, and continuous surveys are an important part of this process. In order to continue these efforts, there was an increasing need to optimize the man-hours involved in sending, collecting, and compiling questionnaires.
Against this backdrop, Asahi Kasei decided to adopt "Dataseed SAQ" with the aim of operating its existing supplier evaluation process more efficiently and continuously, and also because it highly values the speed of our development and the expectations for future product evolution.
As a result, Asahi Kasei plans to centralize the process from sending out questionnaires to its business partners to collecting responses on "Dataseed SAQ," reducing the burden of progress management and communication while improving the operational quality of its CSR procurement questionnaires.
Comment from Shinichi Ito, General Manager, Planning and Management Department, Purchasing and Logistics Division, Asahi Kasei Corporation
The Asahi Kasei Group has established a "Purchasing Mission" and "Vision" that serve as the guiding principles and daily actions we strive to uphold, and we are committed to promoting CSR-focused purchasing activity by adhering to our "Purchasing Policy." In particular, the CSR procurement questionnaire, which allows us to identify Issue and use them to drive improvements together with our business partners, is one of the most important initiatives in our purchasing activity.
We have adopted "Dataseed SAQ," which allows us to centrally manage everything from sending out and receiving questionnaires to progress management and information aggregation. We appreciate that it is a platform that can simultaneously reduce the operational burden, which was previously a Issue, and improve the quality of the survey process. Moving forward, we intend to use this system to facilitate smoother communication with our business partners and establish a continuous improvement cycle, thereby further promoting CSR procurement.
