Framework in place for promoting sustainability
To promote company-wide sustainability-related activities, UD Trucks has established a Sustainability Committee comprised of three groups responsible for environmental, social, and governance initiatives, respectively. Within these groups, teams have been set up to monitor the current progress of initiatives and devise action plans.
Ensuring responsible procurement
UD Trucks regards sustainability as an important criterion in its procurement process, and implements a sustainable purchasing program on that basis. The Company created the UD Trucks Supplier Code of Conduct to specify guidelines for its suppliers to follow, and share its approach to sustainability and expectations for their business practices.
