Management approach

Sustainable Supply Chain

BenQ is committed to establishing a long-term collaboration model with suppliers, grow together with them, and establish a complete set of targets and plans according to schedule, all of which will be completed gradually according to the plan for each stage so that we can improve upon our sustainable supply chain.

Short-term plan (1 year)

Suppliers whose CSR documents are due to expire are required to sign the Supplier’s Social Responsibility and Business Ethics Agreement. In 2023, already 30% of our first-tier suppliers signed the Supplier’s Social Responsibility and Business Ethics Agreement; it is expected that all first-tier suppliers will sign by 2024.

Mid-term plan (3 years)

We are planning to have on-site audits of suppliers include items related to social responsibility. We will inquire about local procurement at factories, ask suppliers to provide the amount used to purchase production equipment, and confirm the percentage of local procurement. We will inquire about the ESG goals of first-tier suppliers, and have them work with BenQ on reaching shared goals.

Long-term plan (5 years)

The goal is to complete on-site audits of all partner suppliers. We will require key suppliers to undergo code of conduct audits by a third-party organization certified by the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA).
