Introduction: Under the corporate philosophy “Dedicated to the Fight against Disease and Pain,” we at Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. have been contributing to society by developing pharmaceutical products. We believe that sound business operations cannot be achieved only by ourselves and that it is essential to obtain the understanding and cooperation of all stakeholders involved in procurement, research, development, production, and distribution.
To promote sustainable procurement, we have established the Procurement Activities Basic Policy and the ONO Sustainable Procurement Code for Business Partner, eventually leading to achieving sustainable social development throughout the supply chain. In addition, we agree with the main purpose of the “Council for Advancing Partnership Development for the Future” promoted by the Cabinet Office, the Small and Medium Enterprise Agency, and others, and by building a sound network with our Business Partner in the supply chain and building further cooperative systems, we aim to increase the corporate value of Ono Pharmaceutical and our Business Partner.
