Taishin Financial Holdings views supply chain management a critical step for enhancing competitiveness, which is why we continue to commit resources into sustainable supplier chain management. By attracting sustainable business partners, we aim to build a resilient supply chain and contribute to a brighter future. Effective supplier management also forms an important part of enhancing the competi- tiveness of enterprises. In their operations, including the purchase of software and hardware and the finishing or remodeling of business premises, Taishin and its subsidiar - ies collaborate with more than 400 suppliers every year. Besides cost and quality consider- ations, suppliers’ contributions to our corporate social responsibility is also an important point of consideration for selection. To strengthen suppliers' efforts to fulfill their corporate social responsibilities, Taishin is taking a systematic approach and has formulated “Supplier Management Regulations” which include mechanisms such as evaluations and service satisfaction surveys. Suppliers also sign a “commitment statement” to jointly move forward with sustainable development. The “Supplier Satisfaction Monthly Evalua- tion Form” is used for audits and annual supplier evaluations. This comprehensive management system helps us move ahead with sustainable development.
