Sustainable Supply Chain Management Strategies
Chunghwa Telecom systematically advances sustainable supply chain management through three major strategies: Supplier Access and Basic Governance Requirements; Risk Assessment, Rating Management, and Improvement Tracking; and Supply Chain Climate and Carbon Management Collaboration. Through mechanisms such as the Supplier Code of Conduct, ESG assessments, on-site visits and on-site audits conducted by commissioned third-party verification bodies, education and training, and procurement terms and conditions, Chunghwa Telecom gradually elevates suppliers’ management capabilities across environmental, social, and governance dimensions and strengthens transparency and resilience in supply chain carbon management.
Note: Chunghwa Telecom joined the CDP Supply Chain Program in 2017, becoming the first telecom operator in Taiwan to do so.
Note: Desk assessments include supplier ESG self-assessment surveys and publicly available supplier information, such as ESG reports and domestic and international ratings.
