Supplier Sustainability Management

TSMC cares about the sustainability of the environment, the society, and the economy, aiming to improve supply chain management and influence the industry towards sustainability by building a responsible supply chain. Therefore, TSMC set two strategies ‒ Sustainability Risk Management and Local Supply Optimization ‒ based on the five core categories stated in the TSMC Supplier Code of Conduct: Labor, Health and Safety, Environmental Requirements, Ethics, and Management, to ensure continuous improvement. Five Action Plans have been created based on these core values, propelling TSMC's path towards sustainability into a positive cycle.

TSMC collaborates with its suppliers to implement the “Sustainable Supply Chain Action Plans." Through the two strategies of Sustainability Risk Management and Local Supply Optimization, the Company leads the suppliers to continuously improve their economic, environmental and social sustainability to bring about positive change.

TSMC strives to drive the industry and its supply chain into a positive cycle. To fulfil the Company's commitment to a responsible supply chain, TSMC takes concrete actions and implements the 4 guiding principles of Code Compliance, Risk Assessment, Audit Participation, and Continuous Improvement. By doing so, TSMC ensures that its supply chain provides a safe workplace, treats workers with respect and dignity, operates in line with code of ethics, and works to promote environmental protection.

TSMC implements its Responsible Supply Chain Action Plan and proposes five corresponding actions. Through continuous improvement and enhancing supply chain management, we and our suppliers create a sustainable future together.
