Together with our customers and business partners
Through our normal sales and procurement activities, we work with many customers and suppliers to achieve our goals, the growth of all of our businesses and the sustainable growth of society. We request that our customers cooperate in the encouragement of the use of eco-friendly products and the reduction of CO2 emissions from logistics activities, and that they respond to questionnaire surveys.
We also request that our suppliers cooperate in the Company's efforts characterized by its consideration of the environment and human rights.
Together with our employees
Employees other than managerial-level employees belong to the SAKATA INX Labor Union so that the employer and employees cooperate with each other in the efforts to improve workplace environments and our welfare program and develop the human resources that will lead the SAKATA INX Group in the future. The Labor-Management Council meets several times a year at central and branch offices. Decisions made at these meetings apply to all employees. To create opportunities to listen to individuals' requests, career plans and other matters, the Company holds two meetings between managerial-level employees and other employees to facilitate mutual understanding.
