Ta Yih requests new suppliers to sign the Commitment of Environmental Protection and Social Responsibility, and submit a qualified EMRT/CMRT report.

Ta Yih requests all suppliers to absolutely comply with the quality management system and environment and the safety and health management system, and reviews the conditions of a supplier through the supplier procurement procedure. From supplier development, screening, qualification assessment, performance evaluation to selection, Ta Yih uses a fair, open and objective system to control the supplier selection process. Suppliers are reviewed and selected based on corporate basic information, licenses and permits, quality certification records, EHS management survey, business operation, product information, manufacturing procedures, financial conditions, procurement obligations under contracts, and corporate social responsibility. Thus Ta Yih is able to avoid intentional manipulation and ensure that the selected suppliers meet the requirements of Ta Yih.
