We have developed a comprehensive supplier management programme to assist suppliers to meet our CSR requirements, including adopting a supplier scorecard system to assessing their performance. We work closely with our suppliers to further improve the manufacturing energy efficiency and social aspect of our upstream suppliers. Trainings are provided to all suppliers as a continuous improvement process to facilitate their implementation of any optimization measures, with the training content including anti-corruption, professional ethics, quality management, and work safety. 8.4 Green Supply Chain When selecting new suppliers, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation on the suppliers' industrial standard, reputation, product price, quality of samples, etc. based on the internal principles of “5S”, namely suitable price, suitable place, suitable quality, suitable quantity and suitable time, so as to ensure the overall quality and material quality of the supply chain. Only the suppliers who meet the related requirements can be included in the list of qualified suppliers. In terms of environmental protection, the Group follows the principle of proximity for procurement. Suppliers are concentrated in nearby provinces, which effectively reduces transportation costs and carbon emissions during transportation. At the same time, the Group encourages the selection of suppliers who provide energy-saving products and environmentally friendly products promoted by the state to reduce the impact on the environment. 57 Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2023 The United Laboratories International Holdings Limited
