Consideration for the environment in product procurement

We have defined products made with materials for which chemical substances are appropriately managed (e.g., organic cotton) and materials which save resources (e.g., recycled textiles) as "sustainable products." We are working to develop and sell these products to reduce our environmental burden in product procurement.
Sustainable products deliver safety and security to our customers by making the source of raw materials and production process traceable. (Ensuring traceability)

• Shimamura's sustainable product standard
  • Standards for Sustainable Materials　　　　　　: Products are made of materials that meet third-party certification standards or are recognized as sustainable materials by the Shimamura Group.
  • Standards for inclusion of sustainable materials : Products are assumed to meet the standards of the third-party certification or the standards of the respective manufacturers.
• Confirmation of Traceability
  The Merchandise Management Department confirms traceability for sustainable products based on route certification documents.
  Examples of route certification documents
  ・Raw material certificates/Raw material manufacturer certificates　・SC (Scope Certificate)　・TC (Transaction Certificate), etc.
• The "Shima-Eco" mark is printed on sustainable products.
  "Shima-Eco" refers to the environmental initiatives of the Shimamura Group.
