Sustainable supply chain

We are committed to reducing the sustainability risk in our supply chain by performing sustainable supply chain management through three key steps: implementing relevant supplier review requirements, ensuring appropriate regulation and management of suppliers, and complying with our sustainable supply chain strategies. We also aim to gradually elevate the sustainability of our supply chain by adopting a series of effective management systems and requirements.

Sustainable supply chain strategy

CTBC Holding has developed a sustainable supply chain strategy comprising the three key elements of corporate ethics, environmental protection, and employee rights and interests. Implemented in stages over several years, the strategy has yielded promising preliminary results. In the future, we will continue to uphold the spirit of sustainable management and work with our suppliers to strive for sustainable development.
