ASUS Supplier Code of Conduct
ASUS is a full member of the Responsible Business Alliance. By becoming a member of this leading international organization, we have established a responsible and transparent supply chain management framework that requires suppliers to have a safe working environment, no forced labor or child labor, respect and protection for employees, avoidance of environmental degradation and compliance with business ethics. We audit our key suppliers annually to ensure they follow the management framework, so users can be rest-assured that they are supporting a socially responsible and ethical company.
Responsible Mineral Procurement
We use Full Material Disclosure (FMD) to learn about the composition of ASUS products, and source “conflict materials” - tantalum, tin, tungsten, gold – from 100% qualified smelters to minimize the risk of illegal mining.
Sustainable Procurement
We considered not only traditional factors such as the quality, delivery schedule, cost, and services in ASUS‘s supply chain management, but have also included the suppliers’ sustainability performances as important management indicators. Our sustainable procurement process passed SGS ISO 20400 standards and obtained the world‘s first ISO 20400 certification.
Environmental P&L Assessment
We were the first technology company to launch the environmental profit and loss assessment report so that our stakeholders can better understand the what impact our supply chain has on the environment, where the hot spots of impact are, and how ASUS minimizes impact to the earth.
Supplier Partnerships
We organize conferences and training for suppliers on a regular basis to convey our management requirements and strengthen the partnership with the supply chain.
