TSMC Assists Its Suppliers to Achieve 100% Conflict-free Sourcing
TSMC supports the "responsible sourcing" practice advocated by the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI), and adopts their jointly developed Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP) to require and help our suppliers to source conflict-free minerals. Meanwhile, we have implemented a series of compliance safeguards in accordance with industry leading practices such as establishing the due diligence framework in the OECD’s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas.
