Procurement policy

TIER IV upholds a vision of making autonomous driving accessible to all. To realize this, we are building an open ecosystem where diverse organizations and individuals can play an active role in the development and deployment of safe autonomous driving technology. Our Procurement Department operates according to the following four fundamental principles.

1. Open and fair opportunities

We provide open and fair entry opportunities to suppliers in Japan and around the world, regardless of their country of origin, size, or prior business history with us.

2. Commitment to safety and quality

Recognizing that autonomous driving systems function as social infrastructure, we place the highest priority on safety and quality in all procurement activities.

3. Mutual growth and partnership

We view our suppliers as partners in value creation. Through open, fair and equitable procurement, we strive to build long-term trust and achieve mutual growth and prosperity.

4. Compliance

We strictly adhere to all laws, regulations and corporate ethics. We are committed to environmentally responsible procurement and the rigorous management of information obtained through our transactions. Furthermore, we maintain absolutely no relationships with anti-social forces or entities involved in illegal activities.
