Proactive Screening

 

We appreciate that supplier sustainability performances may indirectly affect Qisda's reputation and even bring potential risks. Therefore, we have established evaluation criteria for new suppliers and proactively screens suppliers to reduce potential risks. Our assessment factors include ESG, operations-related factors, country of location, industry-related, and product-related risk factors. When significant international events occur, we also conduct investigation and assessment on affected regions, industries and supply sources to secure the stability and sustainability of the supply chain.
