Environmental Management in the Supply Chain

Policy

Policy on Management in the Supply Chain
(Chemical Substances and Water Resources)

JINS has introduced the SPA model where product planning to manufacturing and sales are carried out in an integrated manner and considers improvement in environmental management across the entire supply chain to be important for sustainable environmental preservation. Accordingly, JINS conducts continuous monitoring and provides instructions for improvement to suppliers to which JINS outsources eyewear manufacturing to promote actions with them for reducing environmental burdens.
For management of hazardous chemical substances and water resources, in particular, JINS currently thoroughly complies with laws and regulations in each country and, to keep complying with such laws and regulations, will manage manufacturing conditions of each factory. As waste and water resources are global important issues, JINS will strengthen measures for minimizing risks in business operations through thorough management in both upstream and downstream of the supply chain.

Medium-term Goals for 2030 and Progress

Legal Compliance in Hazardous Chemical Substances

JINS has achieved 100% legal compliance in hazardous chemical substances management. Through our own regular inspections of suppliers, we ensure that all of our suppliers are manufacturing in compliance with the standards set by each country. We will continue to conduct monitoring of our suppliers and provide them with instructions on operational improvements to continue to achieve a 100% compliance ratio.

Development of a Traceability System for the Supply Chain

JINS is striving to develop a traceability system for production in order to continue to use sustainable materials that are safe and secure for the human body and do not involve unfair labor or environmental destruction.
Currently, a specialized department within the company conducts inspections of materials at the time of manufacturing new products and when changing materials in existing products. In the future, we will expand the scope of inspections and develop a system that enables us to inspect even the most upstream of material procurement.

Determining the State of Water Resource Usage and Establishing Goals

JINS recognizes that the sustainable use of water resources is one of the most important considerations in business activities. In 2023, we began assessing our water consumption. By 2025, we are aiming to set targets for monitoring water consumption and resource conservation in the supply chain.

Monitoring by an External Inspection Agency

At JINS, annual audits of our major factories are conducted by an external evaluation organization (SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services CO., LTD.) in order to incorporate a third-party perspective into monitoring.
