Supply chain sustainability refers to achieving a coordinated unity of economic, social, and environmental benefits through a series of strategies and measures in supply chain management.
Adhering to sustainable development helps enhance corporate image and competitiveness, reduce operating costs, avoid policy risks, drive innovation, and attract investment and talent.

Maintain cooperative relationships, record relevant contract information, and achieve strategic collaboration, integrated development, and shared benefits.

Suppliers are required to establish internal management systems that clearly specify minimum requirements in environmental protection, labor rights protection, and other areas, including but not limited to using renewable materials, reducing waste emissions, complying with labor laws, and addressing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues, covering the following:
Compliance with international labor and human rights standards is required, explicitly covering child and young workers, wages and benefits, working hours, modern slavery, women's rights, non-discrimination and harassment, ethical recruitment, and other aspects;
