Lion regards the creation of responsible supply chain management through reinforced coordination
with materials manufacturers and production contractors as a key issue in its supply chain
initiatives. To reduce the negative environmental and social impacts of business activities and
advance sustainable mutual business development, we must work with suppliers to evolve our
sustainably initiatives based on our Procurement Principles. These principles clearly lay out Lion’s
policy of considering legal compliance, environmental conservation and respect for human rights when
selecting suppliers.
Furthermore, Lion recognizes the importance of promoting the sustainable procurement of palm oil, a
key plant-based raw material for the Company, and is advancing initiatives to that end.
The Lion Group established the LION Anti-Bribery Principles in January 2019 in light of developments
around the world related to strengthening legal regulations against acts of bribery and corruption.
Going forward, we will continue working to ensure that our business activities are fully compliant
with the laws and regulations of the countries and regions in which we do business.
