In order to implement the supply chain management policy, this year, we conducted a third-party supplier sustainability assessment with Deloitte, a sustainable supply chain expert. Referring to the relevant international standards of supply chain sustainability management, a supplier sustainability self-assessment questionnaire was designed on 19 topics from five aspects: Sustainability governance, supplier management, environmental management, labor rights and interests, and society for them to make self-assessment. A total of 303 manufacturers conducted sustainability assessment based on self-assessment questionnaire. Three suppliers with excellent performance and three suppliers with significant progress were selected. The excellent manufacturers were invited to provide experience sharing and strengthen the collaborative partnership with partners.
To expand the influence of FEG at the ESG level, enhance the diversity of the supply chain and continue to promote the sustainable management of the supply chain. Suppliers were invited to fill in the "Declaration of supplier's corporate social responsibility". In 2019, 336 new suppliers signed the "Declaration of supplier's corporate social responsibility" with the rate reached 100%. As much as 98% of the top 100 suppliers signed the "Declaration of supplier's corporate social responsibility", which accounted for 91% of the total amount of procurement. FET also shared more ESG practices and training through the online learning platform, providing the most convenient communication channel for suppliers, improving each other's operation efficiency, and working together to expand and promote corporate social responsibility.
