Sustainable procurement

Foster Group considers it essential to conduct sustainable procurement throughout our supply chain to promote procurement on a global basis.
To this end, we established a “Foster Group Supplier Sustainability Code of Conduct” based on the “Sustainability Regulations” and the “Basic Principles of Procurement.”

Foster Group Policy on Responsible Minerals Sourcing

• The Foster Group considers conflict minerals, such as tin, gold, tantalum, tungsten, cobalt and mica mined in conflict and high-risk areas, to be a serious social issue, as they may be used to finance or benefit armed groups and may be involved in risks such as child labor and other human rights abuses, degrading forced labor and environmental destruction.  

• We will follow the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance, establish management processes in line with global standards and conduct continuously. We request our suppliers to procure target minerals from conformant smelters as free from involvement in conflict or serious human rights abuses. 

• We will ensure that our procurement activities does not finance or benefit armed groups complicit in conflict and human rights abuses as part of our sustainability promotion activities, by incorporating this into the “Foster Group Supplier Sustainability Code of Conduct”. 

• We do not consider that avoiding sourcing from conflict and high-risk areas is the only solution to these problems, and care must be taken to ensure that sourcing conflict-free minerals in the relevant areas is not prohibited. 

• Cooperation across the supply chain from upstream to downstream, is essential to this effort, and we will ask all relevant suppliers to provide information and aim to source from problem-free smelters or refineries.
