Note3: Taken 2018 as the base year and green purchasing items in 2019 as the base year of implementation of our green purchasing policy. A total of 287 suppliers were surveyed in 2019, and 99.3% of questionnaires were recovered, with 9 of invalid and non-rseponse questionnaires. The analysis was performed on the 278 valid responses. To assure basic human rights, suppliers that scored below 80 were defined as high-risk suppliers, and the analysis showed high-risk suppliers representing 7.92% of total suppliers (15% of Tier 1 Suppliers). Risks presented by Taishin suppliers in this respect mainly involve: failure to pass certification for ISO 27001 - Information Security System, absence of statistics on disabling injuries, and absence in hiring indigenous people/persons with disability. In the future, we will communicate and interview with our Tier1 suppliers, and regularly track their improvements. Meanwhile, we will remain training through supplier conferences where we will exchange experience with suppliers and convey our attention to human rights issues in greater depth, and invite them to join our cause.
