ROHTO Pharmaceutical provides pharmaceuticals related to people's health and other products that are closely related to daily life.
To earn the trust of our customers, we strive to develop and manufacture products that are of high quality and safe use.
Moreover, at the root of my thoughts are that we are working to support society and create the world of tomorrow, as stipulated in the Seven Pledges.
In order to realize sustainable growth for society as a whole, in addition to the economic value created by our core business, we will firmly hold an awareness of issues related to the environment, human rights, and legal compliance, and work together with our various stakeholders to fulfill the social responsibilities that the times demand.
Building a Sustainable Supply Chain
From procurement of raw materials and manufacturing through inventory management,
logistics and delivery, and sales, we are committed to building a strong
partnerships and long-term collaboration with our various sustainable and
responsible supply chain.
Procurement Activities
Manufacturing that is sustainable, safe, reliable, and of high quality cannot be realized on our own.
We place emphasis on cooperative relationships with our business partners, and are working together to provide products that are sustainable in procurement and that can be used with peace of mind, giving consideration to environmental conservation, resource protection, and human rights.
We have established the following CSR Procurement Guidelines for suppliers.
We have obtained a CSR Procurement Agreement to ensure that all suppliers
are aware of these items. We will promote socially responsible manufacturing
throughout our supply chain by seeking understanding from our suppliers
and taking measures to address any problems.
Monitoring for Sustainable Procurement
In the procurement of products, materials, raw materials, and sales promotion
tools, we conduct "CSR Procurement Self-Assessment" to promote procurement
activities that place more emphasis than ever on CSR (Corporate Social
Responsibility) perspectives such as the natural environment, labor environment,
and human rights, in addition to conventional quality, performance, price,
and delivery time. Through improvement activities based on the results
of each company's self-assessment, we will promote CSR procurement that
enhances social sustainability by taking into consideration social and
environmental impacts and risk reduction.

Results
Among the suppliers with whom we have business transactions, we conduct
periodic surveys of our major suppliers, which are companies with which
we have transactions of a certain amount or more, using the United Nations
Global Compact Network Japan to promote ongoing engagement. In FY2024,
we are implementing improvement measures for seven suppliers with particular
challenges in the areas of human rights and the environment. We will continue
to engage with suppliers to build a sustainable supply chain.
