Promotion of CSR Procurement
In April 2010, the Renesas Electronics Group established the “Renesas Electronics Group CSR Charter”, a guideline for promoting CSR activities. Under this charter, the entire Renesas Electronics Group is working together to carry out CSR activities that must be observed and practiced by customers and other stakeholders through its business.
In promoting CSR, all companies involved in business processes, i.e. the entire supply chain, are required to engage in CSR activities and respond to the various demands of society. To this end, the Renesas Group formulated and published the "Supply-Chain CSR Promotion Guidebook" in January 2014. The Renesas Electronics Group has been working together to promote CSR initiatives based on a common understanding with business partners through CSR purchasing surveys based on the guidebook.
Recently, our stakeholders - including shareholders and other investors, corporate customers and local communities - have made it clear that they expect and demand that our CSR initiatives become more diverse and sophisticated on a global basis. Therefore, it is important to promote supply chain CSR that includes our suppliers, while increasingly aligning with international CSR standards to meet these expectations. We have joined the RBA (Responsible Business Alliance), an international organization that promotes supply chain CSR, in April 2021 and updated the guidebook as the "Renesas Supplier Code of Conduct".
In addition, since the RBA revised its Code of Conduct in 2024, the Renesas Supplier Code of Conduct has also been revised to reflect the latest RBA Code of Conduct.
We expect our suppliers to understand and support the contents of the Code of Conduct.

Collaboration with Suppliers
The business of Renesas Electronics is based on the support of a wide variety of suppliers. Therefore, it is important that we work in an interactive and a collaborative manner. One such practice is through joint project engagements to create solutions for common issues. To realize such solutions, both the suppliers and Renesas have to exchange each other’s expertise in the area with an aim for mutual benefit.
We will continue to build a Win-Win relationship based on true partnership.
We ask for your cooperation and support.
