Green Procurement Standard

Apr. 1, 2024 The 22nd edition1

Introduction

GLORY has incorporated environmental preservation into our management policy and recognizedenvironmental preservation activities as an important business target. To reduce the burden we placeon the environment through our business activities, we have introduced an environment management
system to help us in such activities as energy saving, saving resources, reducing waste products,
proper control of chemical substances, and developing environmentally friendly products.
To provide environmentally friendly products, GLORY promotes the "green procurement" forprocuring environmentally friendly products (including materials, components, units, etc.) from ourbusiness partners who are well conscious of environmental preservation.
From now onward GLORY further promotes green procurement that is conducted according to thisguideline. We are grateful if all our business partners understand our purposes and cooperate with us
to accomplish the purposes.

2-1 Purpose

By promoting the green procurement, we procure materials that cause less burden on theenvironment so that we can provide environmentally friendly products to customers, which
contributes to preserving global environment and achieving a recycling-oriented

2-2 ScopeThis standard applies to the activities for environment preservation by business partners that do
business with our company and procured products such as materials, electrical parts,
components, unit, finished products, etc.

2-3 Evaluation criteria

GLORY promotes the green procurement in the following way.
a) Evaluation criteria for environment preservation activities by business partners
Procurement of products from business partners who promote environment preservation
activities.
b) Evaluation criteria for products to be procured
Procurement of products that induce less burden on the environment and do not containharmful chemical substances.

53. Evaluation criteria for environmental preservation by business partners
3-1 Construction of Environmental Management System (EMS)(*1)

Factories, offices, etc. of your company where products to be delivered to GLORY are
manufactured have established EMS.
It is desirable that EMS should be certified by a third party (ISO 14001(*2), Eco-Action 21(*3),
EcoStage (*4), KES Environmental Management Standard(*5), etc.). But it is also acceptablethat such system is established based on a company’s own standard(*6).
＊

1 Environmental management system
A system that considers the environment and continuously lessens the burden on theenvironment＊
2 ISO14001
An international standard about environmental management system＊
3 Eco-Action 21
The system for which the Ministry of Environment prepared a guideline and that is
operated by Earth Environment Strategy Research Institute.
＊
4 EcoStage
The system that was developed and is being promoted by Eco-Stage Association＊
5 KES Environmental Management Standard
The system that is being promoted by NPO KES Environmental Organization*6 Company's own standard
When the EMS is established on your company's own standard, it should include thefollowing four items.
1) Determination of environmental policy
2) Awareness of environmental burden3) Determination and achievement of environmental objective/target
4) Establishment of environmental management organization

3-2 Non-use of substances that affect the environment during manufacturing processes

During manufacture of Deliverables, it is prohibited to use GLORY specified “ Banned
Substances” that are defined as “Ozone Depleting Substances” in “GLORY Specified Chemical
Substances” (Table 1), except for HCFCs.
In this regard, however, the use of Banned Substances is exempted from the restriction if they
are used in indirect manufacturing process such as analytical determination and productdevelopment, or in a freezing/an air-conditioning machine.

3-3 Establishment of CMS (Chemical substances Management System)

GLORY has requested establishment of Chemical Management System (hereinafter,called“ CMS ” ) to appropriately manage the chemical substances contained in deliverables.Target
substances to be managed essentially are the containment-prohibited substances andthecontainment-reportable substances that GLORY defines, on the other hand,containmentcontrol substances shall be arbitrary items.
A basic concepts and implementation items of CMS are described in "Guideline forManagementof Chemical Substances in Products" issued by JAMP, and available from the following website.
Moreover, GLORY would like to confirm its content if your CMS other than the above isestablished.
JAMP web page https://chemsherpa.net/english/docs/guidelines
GLORY might execute an audit to confirm your CMS establishment and operation responding to
the scoring results based on the above guideline. According to the audit results, we may request
our suppliers to improve their CMS operation, and if no appropriate improvement comes out, wemight reconsider business relationship tosuch partners.

4. Evaluation criteria for products to be procured
4-1 Management of harmful chemical substances contained in productsa） Our concepts for chemical substances to be controlled:
GLORY has defined its own regulations on chemical substances related to deliverables which areequipped to GLORY’s products, or OEM products (hereinafter called “Deliverables” in this Green
Procurement Direction), and requested its suppliers to comply with the regulations. With respect
to the chemical substances, GLORY has defined herein substances by referring to those related
to international laws such as EU ’ s RoHS Directive or REACH Regulation, and the Class I
substances specified by Japanese Chemical Substances Control Law, etc. In detail, please referto the following.
b） GLORY specified Chemical substances:
Deliverables shall comply with the following regulations in the articles 1). through 3).
However, if there are particular designations or directions in a purchase specification, drawing orother similar kind of document that includes, for example, designation regarding other chemical
substances, other “ standards of ban ” , or other “ exempted applications ” , such designations ordirections will prevail.
In this regard, however, this article shall apply to packaging materials that are packed by suppliers(or by a carrier that the suppliers entrust packaging) and supplied directly to customers of GLORY
without being unpacked by GLORY.
Despite the non-containing response, if the banned substances are contained in the product parts,
which damages our company, the GLORY might pursue the defect liability on the part of the
supplier, in accordance with the applicable contract.
1) Banned Substances
・ In principle, Deliverables must not contain “ Banned Substances ” defined in “ GLORY
Specified Chemical Substances” (Table 1).
・ In details of the target substances, “ Standards of Ban ” and calculation methods ofconcentration, please refer to “GLORY Specified Chemical Substances” (Table 1) and its
・ Notwithstanding above, if exempted application(s) in “ GLORY Specified Chemical
Substances ” (Table 1e) is(are) applicable to the Deliverables, such containment will be
exempted from the restriction of the ban.
・ In this regard, however, as for Lead/Lead compounds, Mercury/Mercury compounds,
Cadmium/Cadmium compounds and Hexavalent Chromium/Hexavalent Chromium
compounds, Deliverables must not contain any of these substances only when GLORY
specifies that such Deliverables do not contain any of these substances by a purchasespecification, drawing or other similar kind of document. This article is given because
GLORY occasionally has to use Deliverables that contain these substances in order to meet2) Reportable Substances
・ In the case that Deliverables are met "Conditions of Deliverables to be controlled" defined in“GLORY Specified Chemical Substances” (Table 2), with respect to "Control Substance", its
total mass, purpose of use, and application area, etc., shall be managed and recorded.
・ In details of target substances, "Conditions of Deliverables to be controlled" and calculation
methods of concentration, please refer to “GLORY Specified Chemical Substances” (Table3) Control Substances
・ In the case that Deliverables are met "Conditions of Deliverables to be controlled" defined in“GLORY Specified Chemical Substances” (Table 3), with respect to "Control Substance", its
total mass, purpose of use, and application area, etc., shall be managed and recorded.
