The Group has established its Sustainable Procurement Policy by referencing the ISO 20400: 2017 Sustainable Procurement - Guidance, the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct, the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact (UNGC), and the Corporate Sustainability Code of Conduct Manual.

(1) Compliance with Laws and International Standards
We strictly adhere to all relevant laws and regulations in the regions where we operate and follow the ISO 20400 Sustainable Procurement-Guidance, the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), and the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct. We take into account all requirements related to human rights, health and safety, environmental protection, ethics, and social responsibility, ensuring that all procurement activities comply with applicable laws, regulations, and corporate policies.

(2) Incorporation of ESG Core Elements
We fully integrate the three pillars of sustainability — Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) — into every aspect of our procurement strategies and supplier management processes. This includes supplier selection, contract terms, risk management, and performance evaluation, ensuring that sustainable values are embedded throughout our procurement practices.

(3) Shared Responsibility Across the Supply Chain
We strive to establish long-term and stable partnerships with our suppliers while upholding the principles of diversity and inclusion. Through audits, training, capacity-building initiatives, and guidance programs, we support our suppliers in fulfilling their social and environmental responsibilities and work collaboratively to enhance overall sustainability performance.

(4) Prioritizing Green Procurement 
We prioritize the procurement of products and services with sustainable attributes, including environmental certifications, recycled or reusable materials, and energy-efficient features. We actively promote waste reduction through reuse and recycling programs and implement emission reduction measures to further lower greenhouse gas emissions.

(5) Prohibition of Conflict Minerals from Improper Sources
Suppliers are required to comply with our Conflict-Free Minerals Policy and establish effective traceability and due diligence systems to ensure that raw materials are not sourced from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas where widespread human rights violations or illegal mining activities occur.

(6) Risk Prevention and Transparency
We have established systems to identify and categorize procurement risks while strengthening oversight and audits of high-risk suppliers. We also promote transparency by sharing relevant information to enhance supply chain management and foster trust with stakeholders.

(7) Reducing Environmental Impact and Responsible Management
We prioritize the use of materials with third-party certifications and traceable sources, ensuring that all raw materials and components comply with regulations on restricted substances and conflict minerals. This approach helps minimize the environmental impact of our procurement activities and protects ecosystems and natural habitats.

(8) Continuous Improvement and Performance Monitoring
We have established performance indicators and monitoring systems for sustainable procurement, regularly reviewing implementation results to support management oversight and drive continuous improvement, ensuring our policy remains effective and consistent.

Gemtek firmly believes that a healthy and robust natural environment is the cornerstone of long-term business sustainability. Guided by this principle, we pledge to uphold the highest standards of environmental stewardship across our global operations, R&D centers, and manufacturing sites. By leveraging our supply chain influence, we aim to drive collective action in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).

To reduce our impacts on nature and ecosystems, we apply the mitigation hierarchy of Avoid, Minimize, Restore, and Offset across our operations and development activities. We have also established long-term objectives to achieve Net Positive Impact (NPI), No Net Loss (NNL), and No Gross Deforestation by 2050, thereby ensuring the protection and restoration of global biodiversity.

Principles and Implementation Strategies

• Regulatory Compliance and International Alignment: We comply with environmental conservation laws across all operating locations and proactively manage nature-related risks by aligning our management practices with international initiatives and frameworks, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD).
• Risk Governance and Transparent Disclosure: We have established mechanisms to identify and assess biodiversity-related risks. We regularly evaluate our dependencies and impacts on nature, and transparently disclose our management approaches and key performance indicators (KPIs) in our annual Sustainability Report.
• Avoidance of Ecologically Sensitive Areas: During the planning stages of new or expanded facilities, we adhere to Low Impact Development (LID) principles, avoid development in critical biodiversity habitats and protected areas, and minimize our impacts on protected species and their natural environments.
• Resource Efficiency and Low-Carbon Transition: We strive to minimize ecological pressure by prioritizing carbon reduction and resource efficiency. Our efforts include promoting renewable energy and energy-saving initiatives to mitigate climate-related impacts. Simultaneously, we enhance water circularity management to ensure that discharged water quality meets or exceeds regulatory standards, thereby reducing stress on aquatic ecosystems.
• Product Lifecycle Management: We assess the environmental impacts of our products across their entire lifecycle. Through the adoption of circular economy practices, we are increasing the proportion of post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics in our products and monitoring the ecological effects of raw material extraction to reduce reliance on virgin resources.
• Sustainable Forestry Procurement: For product packaging and office supplies, we prioritize paper materials certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or other equivalent sustainable forestry certifications. We strictly prohibit the procurement of wood-based products from illegal logging or controversial sources and promote the use of eco-friendly, non-toxic inks.
• Cultural Promotion and Ecological Engagement: We actively foster biodiversity awareness among our employees and encourage volunteer participation. We collaborate with external partners to jointly promote habitat conservation and ecological restoration initiatives.
• Digital Transformation and Resource Conservation: We continue to refine our digital workflows and paperless management systems to reduce paper demand at the source. By minimizing the consumption of forest resources, we move closer to achieving our low-carbon operational goals.
