Open, collaborative relationships with our suppliers is vital to our continued success. We value vendor partners who are committed to high standards of quality, while recognizing our need for competitive pricing and innovative solutions.
Compliance and ethics expectations
We recognize and appreciate that our suppliers differ greatly in size, history, scope and location. Given this diversity, we are committed to working with all our partners to utilize a supply chain that reflects the fundamental principles, practices and values set forth in Komatsu’s Worldwide Code of Business Conduct and our CSR Procurement Guidelines.

Trade and customs compliance
As a global organization we place a strong emphasis on global trade and customs compliance. Adherence with international and local trade regulations throughout our supply chain is critical to our success. We drive trade compliance by:
Staying current on global trade regulations and understanding the laws that govern international business
Maintaining trade compliance within our global regions
Performing global assessments to provide trade and customs compliance awareness and adherence to trade regulations
Conducting regular reviews of our business practices and trade partners to safeguard compliance throughout the supply chain
Conflict minerals commitment
We are committed within our supply chain to ethically source the parts we use to manufacture our products and we expect our suppliers to adhere to the same principles.
In general, Komatsu refrains from engaging in cross-promotional activities with suppliers (testimonials, case studies, co-branding opportunities, etc.). To request an exception, please work directly with your Komatsu buyer partner to obtain approval from the Komatsu marketing and legal teams in advance.
