Proactive Supplier Assessment and Development: 2025 On-site Supplier ESG Audit & Engagement Project

The Group recognizes that Supply Chain Resilience & Risk Management is a fundamental mechanism for driving sustainable growth in the renewable energy sector. Ensuring that suppliers operate in alignment with Environmental, Social, Health, Safety, Human Rights, and Governance (ESG) standards is a core mission and a top priority for the Company.

Accordingly, the Group has elevated its supplier oversight through the "On-site Supplier ESG Audit & Engagement" project. This initiative involves physical inspection audits to verify actual operations, the sharing of best practices, and providing in-depth support to critical suppliers. These efforts aim to mitigate supply chain risks and cultivate long-term Strategic Partnerships.

Project Objectives

1. On-site ESG Assessment: To evaluate the actual working environments of suppliers across Environmental, Social, Safety (OHS), and Governance dimensions, ensuring compliance with the Group’s Supplier Code of Conduct.
2. Regulatory & Standard Compliance: To ensure suppliers strictly adhere to labor laws, human rights principles, and relevant international standards.
3. Sustainable Partnership: To foster mutual awareness, transparency, and trust, aiming for sustainable growth throughout the value chain.
4. Corrective Action & Improvement: To identify risks and opportunities for development, collaborating with suppliers to establish systematic Corrective Action Plans (CAPs).
5. Supplier Capacity Building: To provide consultation and support to suppliers in elevating their social and environmental responsibility standards to meet international benchmarks.

2025 On-site Audit Roadmap

To maintain oversight of both domestic and international critical suppliers (Cross-border ESG Audit), the Group conducted on-site assessments for key technology and engineering partners as follows:

Performance and Shared Value Creation

In 2025, the Group successfully completed its scheduled On-site ESG Audits comprehensively and systematically. These in-depth assessments provided the Company with verified data regarding our suppliers' safety management, environmental practices, and labor welfare.

Furthermore, this project served as a vital platform for providing On-site Support. The Group offered constructive feedback, helped suppliers identify areas for improvement, and collaborated on Capacity Building initiatives. As a result, suppliers have gained greater awareness and enhanced their operational processes to better align with international ESG standards. This project remains a key driver in Supply Chain De-risking and reinforces the Group’s commitment to sustainable business co-creation with its partners.
