Responsibility in the Supply Chain
UNIFIVE recognizes not only its own business activities but also the fulfillment of social responsibility throughout the entire supply chain as an important issue. At each stage of procurement, manufacturing, and supply, we work on compliance with environmental regulations, management of hazardous substances, and responsible sourcing of raw materials.
Management of Chemical Substances in Products
Products For parts and materials used in products, we implement management of chemical substances in accordance with the RoHS Directive and REACH Regulation. During incoming inspections, we measure the content of RoHS-specified hazardous substances using X-ray fluorescence analyzers for all purchased parts to confirm compliance with regulatory limits. In addition, as a countermeasure against ion migration in DC plug sections, we have continued to manage the non-use of red phosphorus flame retardants since 2016. Standards for environmentally hazardous substances are regularly updated based on the laws and regulations of each country and customer requirements.
Responsible Mineral Sourcing
UNIFIVE strives for responsible mineral sourcing to ensure that minerals (such as tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold) from conflict-affected and high-risk areas do not become a source of funding for armed groups or antisocial organizations. In line with the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, we are working to eliminate the use of conflict minerals in our Products and respond to customer requests for conflict minerals surveys.
Green Procurement
We strive to prioritize the adoption of parts and materials with low environmental impact and confirm environmental management initiatives with our suppliers. Including compliance with our customers' green procurement standards, we promote environmental consideration throughout the entire supply chain.
Supplier CSR Audits
We require all suppliers to comply with standards related to social responsibility. We conduct annual social responsibility surveys to evaluate suppliers' CSR initiatives, follow up on corrective actions as necessary, and maintain records.

Information Management
Confidential information entrusted to us by customers and business partners is protected under a strict management system to prevent leakage to third parties. Personal information of employees and related parties is also properly managed in accordance with the personal information protection laws and regulations of each country and region.
In addition, we implement defensive measures against cybersecurity threats and appropriately disclose information regarding our business activities, the safety and quality of our Products, and environmental initiatives through our website and other channels.
Quality Management
UNIFIVE positions quality as the most important foundation of its business activities and has established a company-wide quality management system based on the concept of Total Quality Control (TQC) in accordance with JIS Z 8101 (Quality Control Terminology).
Quality Control System
Each department, including design, manufacturing, quality assurance, and management, collaborates to control quality throughout all processes, from the collection of specification information to design, development, mass production, and post-shipment maintenance activities. During the design stage, the QA department conducts design verification from a third-party perspective, and during the manufacturing stage, a management system based on process FMEA is implemented. From daily quality improvements to handling market complaints, root cause identification, corrective actions, and prevention of recurrence are carried out consistently.
Certification Acquisition and Standards Compliance
In addition to obtaining ISO9001:2015 and ISO14001:2015 certifications, we comply with various international safety standards and factory certifications such as Japan PSE, UL/CUL, TUV, EK-MARK, CCC, and BSMI. We not only meet the safety standards of each country but also comply with customer-specific safety requirements, ensuring traceability of materials, components, and processes.
Continuous Quality Improvement
At the beginning of each year, quality objectives are established across all departments, and management reviews are conducted monthly to allow executives to monitor progress. In the unlikely event that a quality issue occurs, we promptly verify the facts, report quickly and accurately to relevant internal and external stakeholders, and thoroughly implement root cause analysis and preventive measures to avoid recurrence.
