【Sustainable Supply Chain】Realizing Sustainable Supply Chain Strategies through Actions, and Receiving the SGS ESG Awards - Supply Chain Management Award

Special Report on Sustainability
In the face of global net zero emission trends, Wistron is committing to a 25% absolute reduction in S3 emissions by 2030 in compliance with the SBTi. By working with partners across the supply chain, we aim to implement three major action plans toward a sustainable supply chain: (1) supplier management system, (2) knowledge sharing with suppliers, and (3) promoting carbon reduction for a sustainable supply chain to realize Wistron’s sustainable supply chain strategy. Simultaneously, we shared the challenge and opportunity of enterprise resilience with long-term suppliers during the 2023 Wistron Group Partner Conference, which revolved around the theme of Sustainable Resilience in the Supply Chain. We hope to lead our partners in the supply chain and exert our sustainability influence to create a mutually beneficial and prosperous green
supply chain.
We achieved precision management through digital transformation, connecting procurement information through our supplier digital management system to automatically evaluate the sustainability risks of our suppliers, identify high-risk suppliers, prioritize audits on high-risk suppliers, and provide assistive resources accordingly. We hope that this can therefore prevent and reduce related risks. In 2023, we introduced ISO 14064-1 GHG inventory and ISO 50001 energy management system to 52 high energy consumption suppliers, laying a critical foundation for net zero emissions across our supply chain. In the meanwhile, we are also supporting the Industrial Development Administration’s low-carbon transition plan by working with 7 suppliers on over 30 technical modification projects to improve energy efficiency, launching expert consulting groups to provide diagnosis and support toward energy efficiency, and laying the foundations for solar power generation. Our efforts are estimate to reduce carbon emissions by over 10,000 metric tons and fulfill our goal in helping suppliers reduce carbon emissions. SGS, a third-party organization, has recognized our achievements in creating a sustainable supply chain and honored us with the Supply Chain Management Award at their ESG awards. Looking into the future, our goal for the 2024 supplier sustainability program will be expanding the scope of carbon emission survey to cover over 67% of our supply chain, achieving third-party verification for over 70% of ISO 14064-1 GHG inventory, and aiming for an annual carbon reduction rate of 4.2%. Together, we hope to build a net zero ecosystem for the ICT industry.
