For Our Stakeholders
Together with Our Business Partners
Through strong partnerships based on relationships of mutual trust, Alpine hopes to prosper hand in hand with its suppliers.
Purchasing Policies
Living up to our social responsibility, Alpine conducts purchases on a daily basis under four purchasing policies.

Procuring Green Materials
Alpine places a high priority on using environmentally friendly materials. Our goal is to increase the use of “green” materials to 100% at all of our facilities all around the world.
In 2008 all of our business partners earned ISO14001 environmental certification.

Supplier's Conference
To achieve coexistence and co-prosperity based on mutual trust, Alpine is cementing ties with suppliers. To this end, Alpine invites suppliers to briefing sessions (biannually in Japan, and annually in China, North America, and Europe) to update them on the current state of production and sales, as well as announce purchasing policies, thereby deepening mutual understanding.

Helping Our Partners Improve Information Security
We sent questionnaires on information security to all of our business partners, for the purpose of sharing information about the risks involved. Alpine is making an extensive effort to prevent information leaks.
We also help our business partners reduce vulnerabilities to their information management systems, sharing our security measures so that both they and we are better protected.

As the market rapidly shifts to eco-friendly vehicles, Alpine is improving green procurement standards, while at the same time taking aggressive measures to make products smaller, lighter, and more energy-efficient. We hope to create a win-win situation by developing onboard “green” devices that meet consumer demands.
