Relationship with Customers and Business Partners
Reinforce Relationships of Trust
We strengthen our ability to respond to customers by conducting customer satisfaction surveys annually, sharing the opinions of our customers with the relevant departments, and reflecting them in our sales activities. “Assessment response rate regarding customer satisfaction survey results” has been set as one of the key performance indicators (KPIs) for our materiality topics, and we seek to reinforce relationships of trust in the series of processes from product proposal to provision.
In addition, we administer an online questionnaire on the environment, society, and governance (ESG) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to our raw material suppliers and other business partners. Based on the results, we will jointly undertake improvement activities. We respond to changes in markets and the business environment and aim for reliable, safe, and stable product supply by building partnerships based on mutual trust with our business partners and deepening our collaboration with them.
