Sustainability in the Entire Value Chain
The SumiRiko AVS’ Carbon Footprint Strategy
Components from SumiRiko AVS have a large supplier share. This means that our company can only ever be as sustainable as its suppliers around the world. For this reason, we set out very early on to establish and manage a sustainable supply chain.
Suppliers who work for us must not only accept our Corporate Social Responsibility Policy but also recognize sustainability as a priority component of their value creation.
