Inspiring the next generation

As a global leader in the electronics industry, we believe we can make a valuable contribution to raising young people's awareness of the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to inspire the innovations of tomorrow.

Our ambition is to support education in schools in all the countries where we operate. Through our ‘STEM your way’ program, we share our passion for science and electronics with young people.

Monitoring and developing suppliers

We believe that the social, environmental and ethical aspects of suppliers’ and subcontractors’ performance are key contributors to sustainable business success. That is why our Responsible Supply Chain program is embedded in our policies through our own Code of Conduct as well as our commitment to the industry standard RBA’s code of conduct V7.

Our program addresses labor, human rights, safety, ethics and environmental risks. It comprises three main steps: commitment, self-assessment questionnaire and audit with follow-up.

We are taking suppliers and subcontractors with us on our sustainability journey by providing training and support.

We also conduct due diligence in our sub-tier supply chain for raw materials we procure (Responsible Sourcing of Minerals).

Responsible sourcing of minerals

We need to source a diverse array of minerals and metals used at different stages of production in both front-end and back-end manufacturing.

So,we have developed a holistic approach to identify, manage, and monitor responsible mineral sourcing to ensure we do not procure raw materials that are directly or indirectly associated with human rights violations and to minimize environmental impact.

Our policy statement is fully aligned with the OECD due diligence guidelines.

Engaging all stakeholders

We listen to our employees, customers, investors, and partners, take into account their expectations and concerns, and work together for mutual success.

By knowing our stakeholders better, we are able to anticipate potential issues, and also understand how to achieve the right balance between various stakeholders’ needs and expectations.
