Sustainable Supply Chain

Our commitment to responsible supply chains

At Trocellen, we understand that the impact of our business reaches far beyond our own facilities. It extends throughout the intricate network of suppliers and partners who help bring our solutions to life. That’s why we are dedicated to being an active participant in building a sustainable supply chain, regularly monitoring and reviewing our collaborations — always with a strong ESG perspective.

A procurement approach rooted in responsibility

Aligned with the procurement philosophy of our parent company, Furukawa Electric Group, 
we structure all our procurement activities around three fundamental principles:

Fairness & integrity

We operate openly and transparently, welcoming all business partners under the principles of free competition, while ensuring every interaction is guided by fairness and unwavering integrity.

Compliance & CSR procurement

To help realize a sustainable society, we conduct all procurement in full compliance with laws and regulations. We integrate environmental stewardship and safe operating practices into every decision, fulfilling our broader corporate social responsibilities.

Partnership & shared value

We place immense value on mutual trust. By cultivating strong, collaborative relationships with our suppliers, we create new value together. We pursue optimal procurement conditions by carefully balancing quality, cost, delivery, technological capabilities, and ESG performance.

Trocellen Group’s commitments in the supply chain

As part of the Furukawa Electric Group CSR Code of Conduct, we uphold specific commitments to drive sustainability through our supplier relationships. These include:

  • Building meaningful dialogues: Engaging our partners in discussions on sustainability goals and environmental roadmaps.
  • Promoting shared standards: Informing suppliers about our CSR Procurement Guidelines and assessing key partners for ESG-related risks.

Partnership & shared value

Our current focus

We recognize that a product’s environmental and social footprint starts long before it reaches our factories. While we are still early in evolving a mature, holistic responsible sourcing program, we are laying down strong foundations. Today, our focus is on:

  • Mapping our supply chain: Identifying and categorizing key suppliers by location and business segment to better understand risks and opportunities.
  • Ensuring compliance: Encouraging suppliers to uphold standards like REACH, RoHS, and labor regulations as essential first steps.
  • Embedding expectations: Gradually integrating environmental, social, and ethical requirements into procurement and onboarding processes.
  • Fostering transparency: Building open channels of communication to exchange knowledge and prepare for deeper ESG collaborations.

Partnering for a sustainable future

Through these actions, we aim not only to minimize ESG risks in our value chain but also to unlock opportunities for innovation, working side by side with our suppliers to discover better materials, improved processes, and a more sustainable tomorrow.

Together, we’re shaping a resilient, responsible supply chain that stands as a cornerstone of our broader sustainability vision.
