Support for local procurement

Taiwan is our operational and production base. When the procurement conditions are similar, we prioritize procurement from local suppliers in order to achieve the following goals:

 Establish long-term, sustainable cooperation
 Promote local economic development
 Increase job opportunities
 Reduce transportation processes

Local procurement of secondary materials

In 2021, we increased the local procurement of secondary materials by about 2.3% over 2020.

Locations 2020 2021
Taiwan 77.7% 80%
Foreign 22.3% 20%

Energy-efficient and eco-friendly equipment

In addition to continuously promoting environmental protection and energy conservation policies, we have been encouraging all units to use energy-efficient and eco-friendly materials in recent years. These materials include energy-efficient devices (e.g., inverters, high-performance IE3 motors, anti-explosion LED lighting fixtures, aircon chillers, UPS) and ecolabel products (e.g., energy-efficient and eco-friendly IT equipment).

With reference to Article 96 of the Government Procurement Act, we specify the preference to use ecolabel-accredited products; products or materials that are recoverable, recyclable, reusable, eco-friendly and energy-efficient; and other products that either increase social benefits or reduce social costs, in order to establish the USI green procurement mechanism and increase the proportion of green procurement.
