Sustainable Environment

CMI is committed to creating business models that benefit the environment, society, and economy. The company not only focuses on the raw materials and components it procures but also continuously promotes the inclusion of its supply chain partners in sustainable actions. At the same time, CMI values improving evaluation results in terms of quality, cost, delivery time, and service. Through optimizing a rigorous and sound supplier management system, CMI strives to build a sustainable industrial supply chain.

CMI’s main production and operational bases are located in East China and Taiwan. In order to promote local industrial clusters and contribute to regional economic development, the company makes every effort to collaborate with local suppliers. Except for some special materials and equipment that need to be sourced internationally, CMI actively engages in communication and technical cooperation with local suppliers, striving to increase the local procurement rate as much as possible.

Supplier Development

The company and its subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the manufacturing and assembly of flexible printed circuit boards and cable assemblies. They provide design and processing services for flexible circuit boards and wiring products and are midstream suppliers in the flexible board and electronic wiring supply chain. The upstream raw materials include connectors, copper foil, silver foil, and electronic components, while the downstream applications include various military, commercial, consumer electronics, and automotive products.

CMI has established a “Quality Management System” to effectively manage supplier delivery quality. Additionally, the company has developed relevant documents such as the “Supplier Integrity Management Commitment” and the “Conflict Minerals-Free Guarantee” to extend its social responsibility principles and requirements to the supply chain. Suppliers are required to comply with these commitments, ensuring that all operations meet environmental, labor regulations, and international corporate social responsibility standards. This ensures that suppliers comply with ESG auditing and sustainable management practices.

Supplier Evaluation

To ensure that suppliers meet the company’s requirements in terms of product quality, quantity, delivery time, price, and sustainable development, CMI has developed supplier management regulations. These regulations assess the quality, delivery time, environmental, and social aspects of both current and new suppliers. The 2024 Supplier Evaluation will be implemented.

The evaluation results of new suppliers and existing suppliers for the year 2024 both meet the company’s supplier management requirements, with no suppliers found to have committed major violations of environmental regulations.

Supplier Risk Management

To avoid the impact of major disasters, sudden bankruptcies, or other reasons that could affect the company’s production efficiency, the strategy for key suppliers of critical raw materials, main equipment, and outsourced processing includes sourcing from more than two suppliers, increasing the proportion of domestic suppliers, and forming long-term partnerships with both domestic and international suppliers with a reputation for excellent quality. Regular communication with suppliers regarding market supply and demand conditions helps maintain a strong, trust-based relationship. The company also establishes an internal risk assessment mechanism, conducting annual risk evaluations and assessments of suppliers to ensure continuous operations, strengthen supplier management, and reduce supply chain risks.
