Supply Chain Management
Supplier Code of Conduct
To improve the sustainable development of the supply chain, TCI promulgates the Supplier Code of Conduct to ensure that the suppliers comply with laws and regulations in providing products and services (including labor, health and safety, and environmental standards). In addition, they proactively respond to current ecological protection and social issues and dare to bear corporate social responsibility and continue to achieve improvement. For new suppliers, the Company issues supplier self-assessment forms as a reference for evaluating cooperation and encourages the signing of the Supplier Code of Conduct. TCI will formally audit new suppliers who pass the initial review to ensure the overall quality of TCI’s production process.
In addition to obtaining international certifications such as ISO, SEDEX, HACCP, and others, in line with the trend of sustainable development, TCI includes ESG self-assessment items for the protection of human rights, labor rights, health and safety, and environmental protection in the supplier self-assessment form as essential points for supplier assessment, to reduce the sustainability risks arising in the supply chain and enhance the overall sustainability of the value chain.
Supplier Risk Management Measures
Based on the result of the supplier sustainability risk assessment, TCI manage suppliers sustainability risks in three main ways:
- For key suppliers, we communicate with them through monthly supplier meetings and review their sustainability performance at least once every six months.
- Encourage suppliers working with TCI to sign the Supplier Code of Conduct, which regulates human rights, labor, health, safety, environment, and ethical standards.
- TCI advises suppliers on sustainable development and its corresponding solutions and assists supply chain partners in setting sustainability goals during monthly supplier meetings.
Regarding suppliers with excellent ESG performance, TCI recognizes them at supplier conferences, links their ESG points to future collaborations and purchases, and assists suppliers with alliances with large strategic biotech industries to expand their potential business partners.
