- *The SAQ is based on the 10 principles of the Global Compact, international guidelines such as ISO 26000 and CSR questionnaires from specific industries and identifies nine core items: (1) Corporate governance related to CSR, (2) Human rights, (3) Labor, (4) Environment, (5) Fair corporate activities, (6) Quality, (7) Information security, (8) Supply chain, (9) Coexistence with local communities, that can be shared between buyers and suppliers regardless of industry.
Results of the survey
SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation received responses from 26 of the 29 companies surveyed, and the response rate was 90%. The average score rate* for the total of the nine items was 82%, with high scores for information security, corporate governance, labor, fair business practices, and quality and safety, and slightly lower scores for the environment, supply chain, and communities.

Risk analysis
The results of the evaluation, which were grouped based on the score ratings, of the efforts of the suppliers who responded to the questionnaire, are shown below. Through the survey, SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation assess the CSR promotion status of each supplier and provide feedback on the survey results. For suppliers where risks are perceived to be high, we conduct feedback sessions and engage in discussions to drive improvement initiatives.
| Scoring rate | Our Perceived Risk Levels | Number of Companies | Feedback Response | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| More than 96％ | A | Full score (5 points) for most items, and median (3 points) are 1 or 2 out of 114 items. | 13 | Expect to continue |
| 80%～95％ | B | The average of all questions is 4 points. While risks are properly recognized for each item, norms and systems are in place, but there is a perception that the PDCA cycle is not fully implemented for some items. | 5 | Expectations for solving shortfalls |
| 60%～79％ | C | The average of all questions is 3 points. A level in which the Group is well aware of the risks involved in each item and has generally established codes and systems, but is not yet sufficiently incorporated into business operations. | 6 | Request for voluntary improvement |
| Less than 60％ | D | Levels where risk awareness is low for many items and where the development of codes and systems is insufficient. Alternatively, it is inferred that the establishment of systems may be challenging due to specific circumstances. | 2 | Conducted dialogue for improvement |

SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation will continue to conduct regular questionnaires for the purpose of assessing and analyzing supply chain risks. We will also expand the number of suppliers subject to the survey and improve the implementation system. By continuing activities in accordance with our supplier guidelines, we aim to realize sustainable procurement.
