Sustainability

TSC’s headquarters established a Supply Chain Management Department in 2022. The department integrates procurement resources from each site and optimizes the overall supply chain. The management covers aspects such as resources, demand, manufacturing, and supply. It constantly reviews and integrates planning processes, leading cross-functional teams in a collaborative mode to support the Company’s operational development goals. To ensure that supply chain scheduling considers inventory risks and meets customer demands, the Supply Chain Management Department follows the principle of “supply continuity” to ensure uninterrupted supply in unforeseen or force majeure situations. The areas of each site manage supply chain issues and collaborate with the headquarters to constantly assess potential risks and continuously optimize the resilience and strength of the supply chain.

While integrating organizational resources and strategies, TSC collaborates with customers to lower supply chain costs and improve data transparency using technological collaboration tools. This involves conducting Quarterly Business Reviews (QBR) and maintaining close relationships with key and strategic suppliers. TSC also plans the training of supply management talents, strengthening information synchronization across departments, and reducing procurement costs by implementing automation and standardized management.

With regard to supplier management, TSC established the Supplier Management Operation Procedure. Before collaborating with suppliers, the Company assesses them based on relevant assessment methods, including the supplier’s record of environmental and social impacts. TSC encourages suppliers to obtain certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO/TS 16949, ISO 14001, and ISO 14064 to jointly enhance corporate social responsibility. In addition, TSC follows the guidelines of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) to establish measures related to supply chain management, such as the RBA Vendor Code of Conduct, RBA Policy and Target Management Measures, Environmental and Social Responsibility Exception Handling Measures, Professional Ethics Risk Assessment Management Measures, and Social Responsibility Risk Assessment Management Measures.
